Old Aerial Photographer Learning A New Way

[flockshot]

I have been doing aerial photography from airplanes for quite a few years. I am older now and no longer maintain my pilot certificate, so drones (particularly FPV drones) are what I plan to use to satisfy my hobby. I did not grow up in the computer generation and do not understand how to do firmware updates and such stuff, but I will learn. That is why I am here.

@flockshot, I hope you will share some of your expertise at aerial photography with us as well. There is much I’d like to learn about what makes for a good shot and how to get the most out of the Mavic’s camera.
