The drone(s)
🕑 Added 2018-10-17 16:30:07 +0000 UTC My crazy story is this. Got the bug for a drone. Bought a DJI Mavic Pro and on the second day, flew it downtown next to river. Got some sort of compass error and panicked. Drone crashed in a construction zone.Couldnt find anyone to get in. Went home and realized it was supposed to rain overnight. So went to site, snuck under a fence and was searching. Stepped in a hole and fell awkwardly. Crawled around in rocks and gravel and found drone and made my way out. Ended up going to emergency room for knee.. Xrays were normal. Got to my doc a week later, and he sent me to an orthopedic surgeon. Took a week to get into there. He diagnosed me with a torn quad tendon. So I needed Surgery.
I had surgery a week ago today. This recovery is the worst ever. I wont go into detail but I will be mostly off my feet for a while, recovering and then rehab.
In the mean time I got a DJI Spark. I was attending a friends wedding and really wanted to do some drone shots. That was a fun, long day. The spark worked perfectly and got some great shots.
One day before surgery I asked Nicole if she was able to shoot. I had been wanting to before she gave birth. Luckily she was free for and hour and came by my house and we shot this. Her in my back yard.
More stuff coming soon. pretty hard to spend more than 15 minutes at desk due to knee.
Thanks for your support!
I have some great ideas for drone shots!
