Amanda, her Mum and Sister bought me a Drone for Christmas 2017. It was rather sophisticated to fly and took time for it to become second nature. A second was purchased with a professional 4k camera, but had a tendency to drop out of the sky. My third is a Mavic 2 Pro with a 9 mile range (adapted), wind stability software, 4k camera with filters etc. We have flown in Arizona, New Mexico, Colarado, Utah, California, Alabama & Virginia so far.
Drone photography
July 2020: We purchased a professional drone that includes a 4K resolution camera for broadcast quality stock-shots of places with scientific interest. If a TV company chooses the shot, we get paid - for having fun. We already get paid for stock-images.
