Female droners

[NG Wildman]

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!

Welcome aboard. My favorite drones to fly for fun are my Typhoon H and my Mini2, but my go to workaholic, dependable stand-by is The M2Pro.

One of the main reasons I started flying was to capture images from a different perspective. As a drone photographer I'm always looking for creative photos - on Instagram I follow https://www.instagram.com/WOMENWHODRONE/ Excellent images there,

Of course! Me here for example I fly Mavic Pro, recently bought Mavic Air 2. I also build my own drones (open platform) and fix my own Mavic I live in sunny South Africa

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?

Hi! There are a LOT of us female drone pilots out here! In fact, your wife might like to check out "Women who Drone" website Women Who Drone
& FB group. There are women who are professional drone pilots in all aspects of industry (construction, agriculture, search & rescue, engineering, etc); women who teach drones to kids and adults; women drone racers. & heaps of women who are drone photographers; people like me who use their drones for professional filming...so yes! There's a wonderful population of women drone pilots!! We look forward to welcoming your wife!

I over heard an alien chat saying that it's harder to abduct female pilots now that we have drones.

My wife and colleague, who is beyond brilliant in everything she does. Whereas she doesn't technically operate the drone or do the filming, she's equally responsible. She's fully involved in pre-flight, all decision making, including how and where to fly, and she is an incredible spotter that I would be lost without in many situations. We act as one. And, although she's not physically big, she carries up to 40kg+ (or 90lbs) of professional equipment over long distances as and when necessary. She has similar good looks to the Israeli actress, but we've all being calling her Wonder Woman long before the movie of the same name came out.

Of course there are. I'm a female and 70 years old and have been flying for 7 years. I currently have the MA2 and MM. I'm surprised I don't see more people frying drones out there. But all the other people I know that fly are all guys.

I bought my first drone a zino pro , my wife had the MA2 I was skeptical about buying one as I wasn’t a big fan of the geofencing. After seeing it wasn’t a real problem to fly anywhere. I bought another MA2 and she schooled me on the MA2 . She’s a great pilot and we always fly together.

Well, 2 years ago I was watching 2 ladies with a phantom drone @ the nigartsbreen... i was flabbergasted with the results...so i thought that's what i want.....thanks ladies......

I’m in my early 30s. Mostly use my drones to get cool shots on vacations. I’ve technically been flying drones for years but i don’t get much airtime because I’m a casual user and there isn’t much worth shooting where I live.

Good to hear Ariel. The new Mavic Air 2S would be a good choice. I have the Mavic Air 2 but may get the 2S soon.

That's AWESOME!!

Did you see my post in the other "Female Droners" thread? Here's a link to it and I think you'd do well to follow those talented women.

Is this a predominantly male hobby?

Have you guys noticed how many car rims have been ruined, trash cans and mailboxes have been backed into by lady drivers? My wife does not read this forum of course.

Hi, I'm 75 and a mostly retired photographer who did all the "people" work for years. I discovered nature and how to use all my training from the ground level. Covid required me to rethink my work. Last year, I bought an inexpensive drone to learn how to fly. I lost that one in the forest as a novice pilot, still, I was hooked. I have a MA-2 and watched a lot of youtube before I flew again. I have been amazed to learn how to fly, airspaces are controlled, and what the view above a snow-covered forest looks like. Sunsets are more amazing than ever for me. Thank you for posting the Instagram link

My missus is always droning on about something, does that count?
