MN Videographer Starting with M2P

[timwdegner]

Hi everyone, my name is Tig and I'm brand new here. I'm 33, live in rural southern Minnesota with my better half and our ten-month old twins, and am a photo and videographer—I mostly shoot weddings. I've never touched a drone, much less piloted one, but in a few hours my new Mavic 2 Pro and Fly More kit will arrive. This is a capability I've anticipated adding to my wedding videography tool kit for a long time; one I intend to respect, and use with respect for airspace and safety.

So I've basically just been studying the FAA's Part 107 guidelines and info, and watching M2P beginner's guides and the "UAS/Drone Pilot Tutorials" playlist by "Pilot Training System" on YouTube. Would like to know if I'm spending my time well. I've also enrolled in the FAA's ALC-515 online course, and have been recommended a $7 app called "UAS107™ (FAA Part 107 Prep Exam)."

I'm here because I've found online forums to be a great source of information and community revolving around some of my other interests. Thanks to all of you here who take time to share your knowledge and experience with those of us who have much to learn.

Welcome to the forum-You were going to love that new machine. I haven’t had so much fun since I was a kid. Just make sure you get insurance for it in some form or another
