I was picking up the Mavic to help shoot videos of camping trips and home movies. But this thread is About shooting pool, drinking beer, going to the zoo, painting, video games etc. What other cool stuff are you guys into?
I am into climbing, cycling, mountaineering, flying (I am an instrument rate-private pilot, paraglider pilot and sailplane pilot) but my favorite thing is being up in the mountains have have been using quads to shoot some great photos and videos. I am looking to the Mavic to take that to a new level.
Motorcycles and moto-camping. 19,000 miles in 20 months. Cinematography, being the director of photography and cinematographer on an award-winning team (have a film going to Filmapalooza international competition in March.) Photography, computers, renaissance festivals.
Flying Quadcopters is my newest hobby. It joins:
Breaking then fixing computers
Photography - focusing on long exposure and time lapse
Amateur Radio
SCUBA diving - Adv Open Water
Cycling with my kids
And I play Kubb (sounds like tube) also called Viking Chess, whenever I can.
Homebrewing anything
Forging
Stone faceting
Drones, of course
PS4 VR
Glass blowing
Dealing with chronic back pain
Guitar
Among others but those are the ones I focus on these days.
More to do with a kid texting and driving, he broke my back while I was sitting at a red light a few years ago. Surgery didn't take very well so I just deal with it now.
In an instant life changes. Sure I got paid but I'd give back every penny plus a bunch to have my back back.
Glass blowing is tougher on me due to the constant up and down, hammering, not so much.
Photography, videography and electronics. I have just about had to give up cycling after a serious accident a year ago in June. Fell hard on my left hip and at 58 year of age I came real close to breaking it -- spent 4 months on crutches. I've had numerous other falls while cycling over the years that resulted in breaking colar bones twice as well as other painful injuries. The standard racing cycle like the Trek Madone I have puts you pretty high off the ground so falling at 58 years of age has a high chance of breaking something that might never fully heal. Sucks, but I just can't imagine myself on a recumbent.
Reading (anything), video gaming (handheld/retro), walking and training the pup on the left, building, breaking, upgrading and otherwise tinkering with computers, and biking or skiing.
