Graduates in car throwing hatsStrasburg won’t let the Coronavirus get in the way of us celebrating our awesome 2020 graduates!

Congratulations Strasburg Seniors! Pat yourselves on the back!

We were lucky enough to have this start in our neighborhood. Some cool cars were involved in the parade. šŸ™‚

To all the 2020 graduates…in Strasburg and elsewhere…I know this was a suboptimal way to end your secondary education…but you made it.

Great work!

Remember to Look Right When Flying

Bad news:

I wasn’t looking right in the second flight tonight. Crash. Boom. Bang.

Good news:

After popping a couple pieces back and getting the gimbal unstuck, it flew again (as proven from the last flight).

Even better news:

I purchased DJI Care Refresh, so I’ll send it in and get a replacement. šŸ™‚

The videos use DJI’s Quickshot feature (in this case, one where you identify an object, and it flies around it).

Boy do I love my DJI Mavic Air 2…oh, and how easy DJI made it to set-up the replacement!

I Didn’t Crash It the First Day!

Drone snapshotOkay, I’m sold. Well, I was sold before, since I already bought the DJI Mavic Air 2. šŸ™‚

I never flew a drone before today, and this is like the second or third flight…once I got to play with it after work and dinner.

Initially I just wanted to record the sundown (since we have houses blocking our western view)…but it quickly became clear that wouldn’t be an exciting video…so then I tested moving it around, going higher, etc.

Probably still mostly a practice video, but still kind of cool…if I do say so myself. šŸ™‚

Update: Or the second day:

It was really windy, so my bravery with the drone was reduced. What is amazing is that the jerkiness here and there is all on me as Iā€™m trying things. The DJI handles the video in a way that strong wind is imperceptible.

Of course, it has its limits. šŸ™‚
