Pro Tips for Your Shenzhen Helicopter Experience
- Gear Prep: Space is limited inside the helicopter, so it’s best to bring just 1–2 devices. A smartphone with wide-angle and zoom capabilities (such as those from vivo or OPPO) is more than enough to capture stunning shots.
- Best Time to Fly: For the best lighting and vibrant photos, aim to fly before 4:30 PM. After that, you might miss the ideal natural light for photography.
