What to consider before choosing the location?

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.
