Female droners

[MA2 317]

Hi All,
Female pilot here from beautiful green Oregon.

Hello from the Hoosier Heartland Theresasky.

Welcome to the Forum.

 

[Theresasky]

Thank you! It's rainy here in OR so my winter project is to learn more about my drone's video, how to edit and post on YouTube, etc. We have an Adobe subscription for Lightroom and Photoshop, which includes Premiere Rush, so I intend to start working with that.

Of course. They aren't the majority, but they do exist in the wild

And some are excellent racers, too.

My wife was asking if there are Lady/Female (not sure what I’m allowed to say these days, have to be careful) drone flyers. All the posts/comments seem to be to be from males. She’s not interested in flying a drone herself, she just wanted to know if there are any of a different sex other than males flying them, she’s nosy that way?

I'll do her one better......I'm a female drone flyer and 70 years old. I've been flying for about 7 years now. I have a MA2 and MM, Love flying.

Another female pilot here. Spark and M2Z. Flying for about 3 years. Love the flying, working on the photography.

I'm 67 with an FAA Part 107 Certificate. I own 6 birds, from a Matrice 210, Mavic Mini/Mini 2, to a Tello Iron Man used for STEM teaching. You wife should try it for herself - and meet up with the other Women Who Drone Women Who Drone

Cool site.
I'm in Liverpool.
It's a little bleak down here now; but if we don't like the weather here we can just wait 10 minutes.
Can't wait for Summer when it gets here in another8 months.

Not friviolous and an interesting question. I know a few female droners, but honestly you don't see a lot of them. Never heard anyone offer an explanation for this. Maybe men for some reason like gadgets more?

An excellent source of info can be found on "thedronegirl" web site. Sally French.
...viva la femme!

Lady flyer here in my 50s. I have been flying since 2015... husband hasn’t been interested in learning to fly a drone. Started on the little Hubsan drones, then picked up a Blade 350QX2. Flown a Yuneec Typhoon, a 3DR Solo, and now the Mavic Air.

Been grounded this year with the pandemic, not going anywhere. My neighbor is also a flyer, and he pissed off the neighborhood, so I don’t fly much at home...

The fact that she doesn't want to fly herself kind of answers her question

Hi, I am a senior citizen and a photographer that loves nature photography. Since Covid, I cannot go to places where people gather mask-less. So, I got a 1st drone and lost it(a cheap one...as an amateur pilot) I fly a Mavic Air 2 now and cautious about my flying and complying with all the FAA rules. I love seeing photography from a birds eye view, and am impressed with the videos it can take. Winter makes flights short as fingers get cold. It makes all the distancing easier to deal with.

Hi All,
Female pilot here from beautiful green Oregon. I haven't posted much, initially because I was so ashamed that I had crashed my first drone, a Phantom 2+. But the more I read here, the more I realize that there are "those that have, and those that will"! After not flying for a few years, I am now getting used to my Mavic Air I and I love it. In addition to YouTube, this forum has been a valuable asset in my education. Many thanks to all who contribute!

I live in Oregon. I’m a guy who started with a Phantom 2 way back. After progressing through several others, I now fly the MA2 and enjoy it a lot. My wife likes to see what I’ve been up to with the MA2. I’m hoping some day she’ll want to give it a try.

Greetings from the Eugene area. Glad to see ya here.

Wow. What a simple, but great shot. I enjoyed zooming in and rolling through the trees. Great composition.

 

[bambi]

Yes, another female pilot, I have the mini 1 and I use it for vegetation research and to check on solar arrays

The reason "droning" is a male-dominated field was scientifically documented decades ago.

That's pretty funny. I hope people take it for the spoof it is.

 

[Vickie]

I've been flying for about 17 months now and absolutely love it! Started with the DJI Spark and then recently upgraded to the M2P for the camera capabilities!

Thank goodness for the laughter in the background. Otherwise playing this in mixed company could be Hazardous to a man's health.
