A new toy, my first drone

[RobAmy]

As many of you know I love photography. I found a nice deal on a DJI Mavic Air. So I ventured into my first drone. I only flew it today for a few minutes. Fairly simple to fly, granted I was in beginner mode.

Here is a couple of quick pictures with it. I took a picture of the chimney because I wanted the drone to do chimney top inspections for my job. So just testing it out.

Here is one of our horse paddocks

I've been looking for a underwater drone for the pond. They are pretty expensive. Anyone have good luck with something cheaper, under $500?

Funny you say that, I have been seeing some cool video work with drones and was jealous my own self. I kept saying will I really use one that much but I think I can make nice use of one with my business with some bonus fun on trips. This new Mavic Air drone pulled me in due to its size, it is small for the quality of the video and feature set. It was easy to register it too, cost $5 for 3 years. Not sure I would have paid full price but I saved $200 buying it off a camera site that I have been on for years.

You are in for a whole lot of fun! I bought a Typhoon H and can not believe how great the quality of the videos and photos are. I bought a 4K TV for my office just so I could get the full effect.

This is clearly becoming a "boys and their toys" thread!
