I personally would like to see a few things...
I envision the program split in to 4 main sections.
Each section would have individual focused lessons.
1. Basic operations and product safety
2. Advanced movement / Automation features
3. Camera settings and operation. Basic / Advanced
4. Advanced Photography
The first half would focus on operating the Phantom itself and operating it safely.
It should focus on the ins and outs of the DJI Go app and how to operate the bird and the basics of physically controlling the bird the proper way.
This should also cover the interface and what everything means. From the radar, to the map, to the basic camera functions, to the settings menus.
For example: Initial proper setup. i.e. Properly putting on the props, properly charging and storing the batteries, properly using the RC and the antennas, calibrations, warning messages.
Go over basic basic auto features like auto take off and auto land along with their pros / cons.
Go over different scenarios that could take place like loss of GPS, controlling in ATTI mode, Manual mode etc.
Next go over experience on things that could go wrong and things that are a concern but not as worrisome as they seem on paper.
Cover things that are contained in the manual but presented from an experienced user that has not lost touch with their first flights.
Next it should go over first flight and starter DJI Go and aircraft settings focusing on the urgent must need settings like RTH and limits etc.
After all of the main basics of flight safety and control of the aircraft the next step would be to learn the advanced options of the DJI Go app.
Go go over flight logs, various flight modes, and how to use the App to start to automate the path and start to get into the photography side of things but from a movement stand point and not from a camera stand point. Demonstrate and explain the proper and suggested way to use each mode.
Next it would be the focus on photography from the camera side of things. This should touch on many different things regarding photography and the camera side of things.
It should cover the recording options and resolutions along with their pros and cons.
It should go over the usage of ND filters and any physical camera addons along with their pros and cons.
It should go over various different advanced settings under different lighting conditions. i.e. ISO settings, Shutter speeds, White Balance, Exposure etc.
Lastly would be the advanced photography portion...
This would sort of combine the advanced photography movement you learned in the previous advanced movement section with the things you learned in the camera settings section.
This section would each you many different professional methods to create great amazing professional shots and cinematic videos.
Im sure I will come back and tweak this post but this is the rough draft coming from someone that has had little sleep.
We just had to put our cat to sleep yesterday and I work 10 hour days some times.
On a positive note I did some P3P flying therapy to help the healing process. It actually did help a little, no joke.
