Hi from Southern Illinois

[Johnthemann]

Former R/C heli pilot and professional photographer. Sold all my heli equipment a few years ago and moved on to other hobbies (mainly twin babies when I turned 49) 52 now and babies albeit demanding are allowing me a bit more free time. Was looking at some video footage taken from a Mav 2 pro last week..did some research and saw the "Hasselblad" stamped on the front of the camera and was sold. Move forward one week I now have in my possession a Pro2, flymore bundle, polapro cine kit, a new ipad 9.2 and mav mount and am about 1/2 way thru the drone academy course for 107 cert. I retire in April and really look forward to getting out and making some beautiful images and video. I have flown about 10 batteries so far and Im just amazed. I keep trying to fly it like my helis but in all honesty it's hardly similar. Still getting over the fear factor of the small size at altitude, just need to trust the equipment. I will get there I think. This is a great community and I really enjoy reading all the posts.
