Throwing the DJI Drones in the Air!

errin — Thu, 08 Aug 2019 14:28:10 +0000

Today we’ve got my Dad’s DJI Mavic Pro and My DJI Mavic 2 Zoom getting ready for their flight today. Starting things off by going over our flight plans and safety procedures. In my younger years I’d go flying with my Dad out in Castroville. I never got a chance to fly with him due to my inability even pilot an RC car let alone small aircraft.

Well now we have DJI Drones and don’t need to go to the flying field like we used to be required to do 20+ years ago. The irony in it is now I am teaching him how to fly a drone. Which btw after 35+ years of flying Remote Controlled aircraft he was still flying the Mavic Pro like it was a plane!

RC Planes back then didn’t really have any of the safety devices and or assisted flying modes. If not all of DJI drones have the ability to fly with GPS lock allowing the pilot to focus on getting better video. Or even providing a more stable aircraft for first time pilots to fly.

Mavic 2 Zoom – Home Update #4

errin — Mon, 15 Oct 2018 19:10:04 +0000

I took this photo using my DJI Mavic 2 Zoom & wanted to share this photo of this amazing building, I don’t know if its a house or some sort of lookout facility. Either way its a very cool and interesting building, I’d love to meet the owners!
This is one of my go to spots and I’m gonna be sad when this actually goes from a neighborhood under construction to an actual neighborhood. If anyone knows who owns that house please contact me HERE I’d love to discuss more about this home and possibly fly here once the home is completed and has the owners living in it!!

This was shot out in Helotes,TX
