Memorial Day is a time to celebrate America and get together with family and friends. This year, fill your Memorial Day weekend with activities the whole gang will enjoy. Capture this unofficial kick-off to summer from a different perspective by filming the activities with a drone! Camera drones bring more opportunities to take amazing photos. So be sure to grab all of your drone gear and bring along plenty of memory storage space before you head out on this 3-day weekend!

Shoot your sport
Whether you are playing flag football, smacking the birdie across the net in badminton, or tossing horseshoes, getting impressive action photos of your favorite sport this weekend is easy. Find new perspectives to get unique aerial shots. Shooting the action from a DJI Mavic Air gives more angles that capture all the athletic skills that cameras on the ground just cannot achieve.

Share your perspective
Find an epic view of your get-together and get yourself in the shot for a third person view. Looking out from a high vantage point with your DJI Spark from Buydig.com positioned from behind can create a stunning image. The best part is that you can take amazing aerial photos using just hand gestures, without a remote controller or mobile device showing up in your hand!

Make the most of a water backdrop
Obtain some great aerial footage from your drone at the pool, lake, river, or ocean. If you want to make your image pop, use colorful props. A bright object positioned in the right location can make your subject stand out. Be creative and have fun!

Get the most out of your BBQ
Capture special moments from above. Light the grill with your friends and family, but also make sure to take unique photos. Nothing beats the smoky aroma rising from a backyard barbecue. Make it memorable with a shot of the smoke curling toward the sky for added dimension. Once all the food is spread out on the picnic table, grab a snapshot with your drone before digging in.

Make words & shapes
Having a DJI camera drone is ideal for capturing large patterns from the sky. Add some unique fun to your Memorial Day get-together this year. Find a plain surface and team up to share a message. Spell out words or phrases that can only be seen from above using your friends or nearby objects. Try getting creative with props! Lie on the ground in an action pose and position props in a comic-style flare to add excitement to your scene.

Camp out
Perhaps your Memorial Day weekend plans include hiking the trails, rock climbing, or even braving the rapids. Or maybe you just want to have a fun camping trip in your own backyard. Wherever adventure takes you this weekend, don’t let a photo opportunity go to waste. Set up a great campsite, start a campfire, light a tent from inside, then hover your new DJI Mavic Pro Platinum Quadcopter Drone from Buydig.com steady and shoot with a low shutter speed. With the capability to fold down as small as a bottle of water, it’s small enough to bring with you everywhere.

As the unofficial kick-off to summer, Memorial Day weekend offers an opportunity to begin the season with a bang. Start your summer off right by capturing the weekend’s events with a DJI drone!
