Abstract: The use of drones is expanding rapidly in field research, although their use in tropical African rainforests has not been widely reported. This seems to be because of two issues: the difficulty of flying drones in a tropical forest, and the difficulties that are peculiar to fieldwork in Africa. Based on my experience of operating drones in two regions, Cameroon and DR Congo, this paper provides a general explanation of the issues involved in shooting with a drone, and describes how these operational difficulties can be overcome during field research in a tropical forest setting.
