New Drone Pilot from Flotsam's Mistake, New Jersey

[m chaussettes]

I am a new owner of the Mavic 2 Pro and it is my very first drone. I am no stranger to aviation as I hold a private pilots license with Instrument Rating. I am currently working on my Glider Rating.
I am also studying for the Part 107.

I have worked in photography, film & video most of my working life.

I purchased the Mavic 2 specifically for a project documenting the New Jersey Meadowlands. Since this is my first drone, I didn't know what to expect in terms of a learning curve or real-world
interaction with it. I have been blown away by the image quality from the few flights that I have so far made. I need to learn how to plan my shots and execute them better than I have so far...
and I am looking forward to it.

This forum seems like a wonderful resource and I look forward to participating.

Attached is a link to my first endeavors.

It's funny how being a "student" drone pilot makes me think of my early pilot training. Flying the 2 gives me the same nervous energy just like when I was flying my own plane. A little nervous energy is a good thing.

My instructor had so many little snippets of wisdom that could also be applied to drone flying.

Plan your flight, and fly your plan.

It's better to be on the ground wishing you were up in the air then up in the air wishing you were on the ground.

The 3 most useless things to a pilot are runway behind, altitude above and fuel in the truck.
