I get where you're coming from, but I don't think the drone shot in that video is within the park's boundaries. The other shots all seemed to be ground-based.

Ended up going Tripltek 8 here. It's spendy but man what a solid piece of kit. Just had a 3 hour multisite real estate shoot yesterday and it did absolutely great. Have had bad experiences with apple products and field work in my full time job...they always seem to overheat and shut off at very...

Love it. Congratulations! Now comes the waiting game.

Doesn't that extrapolate to any government ban hammer? Under thought over reach with zero consideration for the larger implications. Swatting gnats with shovels.

I'm using the Tripltek 8 pro with a mini and 2 pro. Have noticed the video almost seems to skip frames on the tablet. Haven't thought to turn off the radios on the tablet but it makes sense, especially around the house where it is probably struggling to stay connected to the mesh in the house...

BOTH! I'm just as happy flying around as I am making videos and editing photos. I've been doing the latter much much longer, but drones have really renewed my interest in the photo/videography side.

That's awesome! It's a great feeling to have that behind you. I'm stuck in the holding pattern for my card, but I got my temp certificate earlier this week. Have fun!

Thanks everyone for the warm welcome and guidance. Also to correct what I said in my initial posts, I bought the **MINI** 1. Friggin new guy. Anyway. Already took care of the TRUST cert and starting to look at Part 107 material. Also saw some semi-local folks respond. Would love to connect...

Nothing yet--I realize that my phrasing is a bit confusing. I ordered the Mavic 1--waiting on it to arrive. Studying up in the meantime.

Greetings from the middle of the state! Brand new to the hobby and to the forums. Broke down and used a stack of random accumulated gift cards to buy a grownup toy for after Christimas. Started out with the Mavic 1 and the Fly More package to dip my toes in the water. I was always interested...
