You may have seen my not so recent video of me unboxing my new mavic pro. As a new drone owner, I realized there is a lot to learn as a drone pilot! I’ve tried on several occasions to take my drone out for a “first flight,” but have found that it doesn’t always work out as planned.
Fourth time’s a charm- haha! I finally flew my drone, and it was pretty awesome although short lived due to battery life!
So a bit about why those other times did not work out so well.
-1st try - Drones were banned at the state lake. I found out when I called the park office to verify since their website did not specify.
-2nd try - Took it to the park - ended up being way too windy. It didn’t look so windy when I looked through the window!
-3rd try - Packed it with me to Joshua Tree and planned on filming outside of the park at the gypsy trailer. Unfortunately, drones are not allowed in National Parks. But if you guys saw my post regarding staying in the tiny home, it was also a crazy wind/dust storm kind of day, so it was a no go indoors afternoon. Check out my post here if you are interested in tiny homes!
And that brings us to today’s short video! :) Still getting used to the controllers and trying to learn about the different functions since you only have a short amount of flight time before the battery drains. My drone is charging up as we speak. Thanks for stopping by, what do you think of the footage? I feel like there is so much potential, if I can find the right conditions and places to fly! Any tips drone pilots? I will also be writing a post about some of the interesting things I learned about drones.
Love,
Jess
