Been a serious amateur photographer since the mid 1970's (don't ask my how many SLRs and DSLRs I have owned...) and started doing a little video after getting my Canon 70D and iPhone 6+ a few years ago.

Always been fascinated by drones, but was always frustrated because I couldn't get mini drones properly trimmed, so that they would hover stabily. Finally saw a friend fly a Phantom 3 last summer and realized that there is a difference between how easy it is to fly a "real" drone vs. the toy ones.

Got a Mavic Air about a month ago, and am super excited about it. But, between work, yard work (dang neighborhoodtrees dropping their leaves!), shortened days, and living next to an airport, so I have to go some place else to fly, have only gotten to fly it twice so far.

We do a lot of travel, and the Air looks like the perfect addition to my photography back pack, taking up about the same space as a small zoom lens, but still giving 4K.

Hope to get to spend more time with it soon!

Welcome to Mavic Pilots from Dayton Ohio USA! Enjoy your new Mavic Air, Fly safe and have fun!
 
Welcome from a fellow MA owner from Maryland. It's an awesome and very capable drone. I will be curious to here what an actual photographer thinks about the camera and its abilities.
