So what are those 'trick of the trade' and what makes a drone propeller quieter?
I use these: https://www.masterairscrew.com/products/dji-mavic-2-stealth-...
But there are others.
The tradeoff is they don't handle wind very well. If you look at the author's video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9JHyUieKqoU you can see they're not really super stable. I assume there was a cross-wind.
The other trick of the trade is just to use a drone with a zoom lens, and stay far away from the bears.
I'm an amateur, but this is as close as I would dare get to a bear and her cub a couple of years ago. I was about 60 metres away: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iyEPvcLOTUk
