This book has a lot of great advice for anyone who is interested in doing a drone. There is a lot of great information here, and the illustrations are terrific too.

Well designed and succinct, even has a photography page describing the relationship between ISO-Aperture-Speed... that's WAY better than I've ever read at school.

Would be a perfect gift for a teen drone pilot or lay-person pilot who is starting out.

Will buy when I have space at home!
