Howdy from Bakersfield California

[Big Daddy Houseboater]

Home of Buck and Merle, drag boat racing, and Kevin Harvick. Kind of a hick place, but I fit right in. I'm a consulting engineer for a small refinery here, almost 60, father of 3, grampy of 2, avid houseboater, waterskier, snow skier, offroader, back packer, drag racer, fly fisherman, etc, and so forth. Lot's of subjects for me to photograph. I just need more hobbies now, and I will be good to go.

Welcome to the community Big Daddy Houseboater . . . you'll fit right in here too. We are happy to have you. Quite a bit of activity (you got) going on there. What bird are you flying?

Bought a used Mavic Air locally for $600 with fly-more bundle. It had a skin, which I am replacing as we speak. I have 40 or so flights, mostly over water at my Houseboat. Started using Davinci Resolve, and learning about the editing of drone vids. Works good, and the price is right.

Welcome to the forum from the deserts of Arizona! Enjoy.
Some recommended reading from DJI. Only available online. Might have some answers for your question in an earlier post you made.

Looking forward to some of that video . . . I've been all thru that area. Mighty fine places to fly up there.

Bakersfield? Welcome! We were almost neighbors for a year, as I was in Buttonwillow watching sheepherders watch their sheep, jug hustlers and thumper trucks

wish I had a drone back then, I would’ve gotten some really great aerial photos!

Welcome to the hobby, and forum. You live in a good place to fly the Mavic Air, surrounded by beautiful terrain no mater the direction.

I used to visit all the outer areas in your area, from Mojave Desert, Keens (Railroad loop), mountains east and west of Fort Tejon, So many places to mention you have a lot of history in your area.

I do fly in your area, mostly video old historical settlements and it’s surrounding terrain. Live north of you, 70-80 mile drive.

Enjoy the Mavic air, good drone to start with.

Get out to the Carrizo Plains? I was working there and on Elkhorn Plains before it became a National Monument, that would’ve been an awesome place to fly! The way the San Andreas Fault runs through that valley as a set of double parallel hills is awesome. The Central Valley sure does have a lot to offer!

I have a 60' houseboat at Pine Flat Lake up by you... Best place EVER to fly a drone.
