Hey Mavic Pilots!
I'm Joe Eder from Minneapolis, MN and I've been a drone pilot for 9 years.
I've been flying drones since 2013 when I bought a small 2" inch FPV drone with a remote control with video display built in. I saw that I could see the video with goggles and got my first Fat Shark goggles old school goggles for like $150, you could barely see the picture, but I was hooked.
I watched Steele's video on building a quad more than 10 times while I spent 2 weeks getting my first quad soldered and programmed. It was an absolute Frankenstein of a quadcopter but it flew! I have since built 6 - 5 inch quads, 1 - 3 inch quad and have 2 Tiny Whoops for flying around the house.
In 2018, I bought a DJI Mavic Pro after I got divorced and quit my career at IKEA and start down the path of becoming a professional photographer and drone pilot. I realized recently that in the drone photography business. It's as important to be a good photographer as it's important to be a good pilot!
In 2021 I got my Part 107 and started flying commercially in 2022 and practiced my photography skills. I shoot real estate and drone photography over the 2022 winter and went full time as a Real Estate and Drone photographer in April of 2023. Most of my shoots are contracted work through a local real estate photography company and I do shoots that I find and schedule on the side.
That's my biggest challenge now, is finding sustainable work! So I'm out here building my network! I hope to meet and get to know you all! I have a DJI Mavic 1 Pro, a DJI Mavic Air 2S with Smart Controller, 5 - 5 Inch quadcopters, 1 - 3 inch quadcopter, Nikon Z6, Ricoh Theta Z1
I'm excited to be here, thanks for letting me join your community! Picture is of my Mavic 1 Pro, 4 - 5 Inch Quads, 1 - 3 inch quad and a picture I took in 2021.
