Hello from the Buckeye State! O-H!

[BuckeyeRay]

Hiya folks - brand new owner of a Mavic Air 2 here in central Ohio. I'm hoping to learn enough to not screw up too badly. Part 107 certified, and I'm looking to do some for-hire photography maybe. I have a couple of ideas (stolen from others).

Welcome to the forum Ray

Welcome to you from Hauptmann, in the sovereign state of Texas!

The MA2 is a fabulous machine for the beginner and the pro alike. But your needs as a pro are different from those of a hobbyist. You need to develop a high degree of piloting skill. Practice, practice, practice until your stick movements become second nature to you, just as balance adjustments are while riding a bike. You need to be able to make subtle corrections without conscious thought--you just make them. You'll be flying close to stationary objects while doing, say, infrastructure surveillance, where a wrong move could cause a crash.

Be sure to read, reread and reread the manual (link below)! Practice using “Find My Drone”. Chances are you will crash, and perhaps lose your bird. Just be sure you know how to retrieve it. Time is money. A lost drone will cost you both time and money, and also perhaps a client. Good luck with your new endeavor.

Glad to have you with us!

"I-O!" Welcome Ray. I moved to Texas 8 years ago after 32 years living in Columbus, Westerville specifically. Tons of beautiful spots to fly in Ohio. Can wait to see some video and photos from you.

I guess this will be a dual part WELCOME to the forum & apology for the LATE reply!! As previously stated there is a wealth of knowledge here but it is the community of great folks I like best.

Always enjoy seeing other Buckeyes on here as it keeps my hopes of attending local meet-ups & skill building events alive.

Good luck on the for hire aspect & have fun flying!!

Yeah, I've reached out to a couple of FB groups to see if anyone was flying and could I tag along; no takers.
