I work at the CBS-owned TV station in Sacramento and the news department is big on drones– but it's a bit of a hassle when I want to get video or shoot a standup and I need a photographer to meet me with a station-owned drone. Today I experimented with Quickshot to see how easy it would be to pre-set a flight sequence for a reporter standup with no photographer. I was amazed at the stability of the Mavic Mini. It's also nice that it's a relatively quiet drone. I was wearing a lavalier mic and digital audio recorder and synced the audio in Premiere Pro. Unfortunately even though I have a drone license, CBS doesn't allow staff to use personal drones, so I'll have to do it when I'm not on the clock.
