What to consider before choosing the location?
There are some things that you should consider before choosing the location for drone shots. The first one is the weather. The weather conditions are extremely important for making good pictures or videos. The best weather for using your drone is a sunny day with little wind or no wind at all.

The weather conditions are changing all the time, so make sure you are up to date with the weather.
Furthermore, make sure you have full battery life, you have your RTH function on, and your drone is in perfect flying condition. Then you have to make sure that the locations you are looking at are allowed zones for flying your drone and taking shots. If the locations are not officially available you may get into trouble.
