Howdy, Shutterguy! I'm also in North East Ohio, but south of you--Hartville area. I'm new as well--this is my first post. I have 10 hours flying a Mavic Mini, and am now a few flights in on my new
Mavic Air 2. (Plus I've spent many frustrating hours fighting to fly no-name drones that were a struggle to launch, struggle to keep airborne, and stuggle to land. Perhaps these wretched drones provided a useful learning experience? ). (And I'm a hang-three-rated hang glider pilot--something I find seems to provide useful transfer to drone flying.) Like you, I come from a photography background (though Nikon in my case) and especially love landscape work. For years, a conviction has been growing in me that to get dramatically better landscape images, I need to get my camera well above ground level--hence the appeal of drones.
But once I started flying drones, it became apparent that drones offer much more capability than simply improving still landscape photography. I suspect that you too, Shutterguy, like me, find yourself eager to embrace as much as possible of all that drone photography and filming can bring us.
So cheers,
Shutterguy, and welcome.
