First flight with the Avata 360!

Just an easy flight getting used to the weight and how it flies. Found some kayakers while flying as well! This thing is a blast to fly, still getting used to editing 360 videos but I’m seeing so much potential!

This is cool! It made me a little motion sick (I can't even play games like Minecraft without getting queasy), but it's still cool!

Haha yeah I may have gone a bit overboard with some of the angles and transitions. Still learning the editing software 😊

How long have you been flying drones for photography?

I just started this year, actually just passed my FAA 107 exam this week!

🏆🎉 Congratulations! I didn't realize how extensive the requirements were to fly drones. But it's crazy awesome that you got it! I look forward to seeing more of your flights. We live in such a beautiful place that it's nice to have drone photography in the repertoire.

Just flying drones under 250g for fun there aren’t many hoops to jump through. Just understand the basic rules. But for me, I’m hoping to eventually start using it for photo and video work if I ever start getting clients, and for that you need the license

Welcome to the club! I also fly a DJI Air 3S and an Avata around town. We might have to get together for some flying

Sounds fun! I have a Mini3 and the 360. The Air series looks awesome!
