This book is great. First of all, it is very useful. As I don’t get to use my drone as often as I would like, it is helpful to come back to the book for tips and reminders. Secondly, there are some beautiful photographs and so it is a pleasure to read.

This Ebook from Jeroen is really a great addition to my drone photography. Jeroen describes everything from the start, when your in the phase of buying your first drone, how to configure it, but also making photos with your drone and how to process the raw photos.
It has helped me a lot in bringing my drone photos the next level. And still there are topics to explore.
It is not only a reading book but also a guide/study book to learn new skills. A must have for every drone photographer.

An excellent e-book on drone flying for all of the EU not just Iceland. A complete run down on drone regulations, classifications and guidelines for the EU. Jeroen makes them simple and understandable. Good tips on flying in Iceland weather along with some helpful weather apps.
Jeroen also provides great info on shooting panos both horizontal and vertical and lots of other great tips for general photography. I review various portions of this book from time to time. It reminds me of things that I have forgotten that are both practical and helpful for safe flying anywhere in the world. This book was totally worth the cost and I highly recommend it.
