Hello everyone,
My day job is flying for a major airline, but now I seem to have a lot of extra time on my hands. I have my 107 certificate, an LLC where I do aviation consulting for business development, safety management systems, and flight ops training, and I'd like to add some drone photo/inspection services to my offerings as well.
I have zero experience with professional photography, and zero experience using drones, though I am a motivated and quick study.
I haven't yet purchased anything - currently caught in the analysis paralysis phase. But I have narrowed it down to the Mavic 2 Air and Mavic Pro 2. I will also need a new computer (currently use a 2014 Macbook) and probably photo software...but I'm getting ahead of myself. I'm looking at this as a marathon and not a sprint, but the amount of information out there is overwhelming, which is why I'm here.
Any guidance/wisdom/anecdotes/advice is much appreciated, and I hope to be able to return the favor someday.
Thanks for letting me join the community!
