If you want to fly your mini drone in an enclosed space, there are a few things to keep in mind. In the world of camera mini drones, we all know how much fun it is to fly from one place to another and explore without having to move.
But to get to that point it is important that you take several aspects into account since making these flights deliberately can cost you a lot if you crash the drone and you do not have propeller guards and you could break something valuable in your house.
So, before taking off, follow our advice on how to fly your mini drone indoors.
Calibrate your drone before take off
It is important to calibrate your drone before taking off in any space, especially in a closed one.
This will help the drone to compensate for any unexpected movement and keep it stable in the air.
To calibrate your drone, you just have to follow the instructions in the user manual or search on youtube how to calibrate your drone depending on the brand.
Make sure you use propeller guards
Another important tip for flying your mini drone indoors is to always use propeller guards.
These small plastic guards will help prevent accidents by keeping people and objects, safe from the spinning blades of the propellers.
Sometimes these propeller guards for drones come open and sometimes closed, as you can see in the image below, but you can also get a plastic frame that covers your entire drone to avoid damaging the propellers, camera, and the rest of the drone.
When your drone crashes into a wall with this frame on, it simply bounces back harmlessly giving you time to maneuver your way out.
All mini drone prop covers are easy to put on and take off, so make sure you have them on before you take off every time you fly your drone.
Avoid flying too close to people and objects
When you fly your mini drone in an enclosed space, it is important to avoid flying too close to people and objects.
This can increase the risk of accidents and damages to your drone, so it is crucial that you are aware of your surroundings at all times.
To avoid collisions try to use obstacle avoidance technology if it is available on your drone, if you don't have it, make sure you keep a good distance, especially on your first few flights.
You must remain vigilant at all times and keep an eye out for approaching hazards, such as mirrors or windows that may reflect your drone's movements. With a little caution and practice, once you get used to your surroundings, you can safely enjoy your mini drone in any enclosed space.
Maintain a clear line of sight to your drone at all times
In addition to being aware of your surroundings, it's also important to maintain a clear line of sight to your drone at all times while you're practicing.
This way, you will be able to see exactly what the drone is doing and where it is going. If you lose sight of the drone, there is a higher risk that it will hit something or someone.
The good thing about having a mini drone with a camera is that while you get used to flying it by looking at it directly, you will realize in the image that the camera gives you the possible spaces through which your drone can fly without a problem.
If you are flying from the living room of your house to the second floor or to the kitchen, first walk behind the mini drone while you fly it, you will know that later, you will be able to take the drone to these places in your home just by looking at what the camera shows you in the screen and explore your environment sitting on your sofa.
Practice with obstacles that do not damage your drone
If you are flying your drone in an enclosed space, it is important to be aware of obstacles that could damage your drone.
Avoid flying too close to walls and objects, as this could cause the drone to crash and take damage if you are not using the propeller guards.
A good way to practice avoiding obstacles is to set a course for your drone to fly through. Set up unbreakable obstacles like these and see how it responds. There are several things you can put in the way, if you hit them nothing will happen, such as a softball on a platform or a cardboard box for you to pass your mini drone through it.
This will help you get an idea of how your mini drone will react to different obstacles and how to avoid them.
Flying your mini drone in an enclosed space can be a great way to practice your skills and have fun. Just make sure you take safety precautions and avoid obstacles that could damage your drone, and you should be able to enjoy flying in any environment.
Now you can practice and have fun in many spaces with your mini drone, for more of what you can achieve with your drones, follow us on instagram and YouTube.
