Rent a drone: How to choose the right model

Which drone do you want to rent? If you're not already a professional drone pilot, the question may not be so easy to answer. But no worries, just follow our drone model step-by-step guide:

What you’re shooting

Think about what you mainly want to use your drone for. Are you planning to take aerial shots using photos or videos? Are you looking for a drone to record landscapes? How long should your drone be able to fly for?

Functions

Depending on what you’re looking to shoot, you should rent a drone that has the appropriate features—such as camera sensors. The larger the sensor, the better and clearer the image. Additional flight batteries, gimbal stabilization for shake-free shots, GPS navigation, and obstacle detection are features that may be important to you. Some models score bonus points with a return-to-home function that automatically returns the drone to its starting position.

Size and weight

The size and weight of a drone affects its portability and maneuverability (as well as where you’re permitted to fly). If you want to take the drone with you frequently, you should definitely choose a smaller and lighter model.

Good to know: If you're a newbie, a perfect first model to rent for you is the DJI Mini 2.

They’re easy to operate and fly—even for beginners. The intuitive controls and intelligent flight modes let you create breathtaking aerial shots. For even better photos and videos, a DJI Mavic 2 Pro is a great option.

Ready to fly a drone? Keep this in mind.

• Make sure to read the regulations that apply in your region before hiring a drone with a camera. You can find the EU regulations for drones on the Federal Ministry for Digital and Transport Affairs website.
• It’s also important to check the weather forecast before flying your drone. If there’s going to be strong wind or rain, take a pause. If the weather is looking good, make sure the drone's battery is fully charged and look for a suitable take-off site without obstacles.
• While flying, take care not to disturb anyone: the drone must not come close to people or animals. Keep a safe distance of at least 50 meters from buildings. Activate obstacle detection, if available, and don’t fly your rental drone out of sight.
• After the flight? Simply recharge the battery of your drone, save your flight data, and clean the drone with a lint-free microfiber cloth (especially the propellers).
