    Well, I passed my 107 Certification a couple weeks back and Thursday night I got my first drone. I decided to go with the Mavic Pro due to its size & price. I figure if I use it enough I'll upgrade to whatever Inspire model is available at that time.

    Anyway, here's a quick video I threw together of my first flight. I love this thing!

    That thing really takes some impressive quality video. I can see endless possibilities with that thing.

    Very nice. Is that the stock setup or did you have an ND filter?

    Stock setup, though I have ND's on the way. It was a cloudy morning and I can see where the filters will be handy. I shot it at -1 sharpenss and in D-log. Colorgraded in post.

    Did you order a kit
    Looks awesome. I'm considering one in the future for my real estate photography, but trying to feel the agents out a bit to see if they're willing to invest in it. I can justify it if it's a "business" expense :)

    I got the Fly More kit that comes with the extra bateries, charging station bag etc... Bought the Filter kit seperate but it was backordered.

    I know locally there are only two other guys so far that have their 107. One is a realtor and the other was trying to sell his service but his website and videos from his Inspire 1 were not good at all. :tu:

    So many cameras.... so little time.

    Good stuff man! I have a Phantom 2 that I keep debating on selling or keeping and taking the 107 Certification exam. Right now it just sits in a case and I rarely use it.

    I love the size. Basically the same size as a trail cam when folded up. Pretty easy to throw in a jacket or cargo pocket. And yet, you can get fantastic results from it.
