Arrive early for inflation
Plan to be at the meeting point at least 30–45 minutes before launch to watch inflation and hear the safety briefing.
Dress in layers
Temperatures can be much cooler at dawn; wear a warm layer you can remove as the sun rises.
Secure cameras
Bring a strap or wrist tether for your camera or phone—hands are busy and wind can surprise you during takeoff and landing.
Listen to the crew
Follow crew instructions during landing and disembarkation—safe, calm landings depend on weight distribution and timing.
Layered clothing
Morning temperatures can be cold; layers let you stay comfortable as the sun rises.
Sturdy, closed-toe shoes
Supportive shoes make boarding and walking on uneven launch and landing sites safer.
Camera with strap
A camera captures the aerial patterns and golden-hour light—strap it to avoid drops.
Hat and sunscreen
UV protection is helpful during pre- and post-flight time on the ground.
