Do you know this feeling?
It is a bit like Xmas, Birthday and a wonderful result with a math exam alltogther in one day.
Yes, I got one. On Saturday morning I grabed my little boy and we did a trip to a local shop to get the Drone, which we where dreaming off since so many month.
A brand new toy
for the BIG old boy!
Why I was waiting so long.
Together with some friends I was already on drones since the Phantom was out. But this nice but HUGE aircraft was always to big for all my travel.
This one has all together:
- Small form factor to fit into my backpack
- Brilliant 4k video recording
- All safety sensors to have a safe flight
- 20 to 25 minute flight time
- 3 battery packeges brings me to nearly a hour of flighttime
- Tons of feature to create cool video
- Much more...
Unpacking with a liitle helper
Direct after we left the shop where I spend a lot of the SBD I earned last year, my little helper gave directions to drive home as fast as possible to unpack the Mavic Air
Here I share the joy we had.
My little expert got rid of the paper, which sealed the package

Open the package
My little nervous helper opened the package very carefully but still with tools for mens

A first look into the package
Loook, there are so many boxes inside the big box.

The small box for the drone
Whoooot, is this small case the whole dron. Let's open it...

Setting up the DJI app
After several minutes, some downloads and leaving my email with a new portal, I was guided through the new app with a lot of information.

Power up the drone
Whoot, got some light at the drone and a connection was established.

Ready to fly
but to rainy and dark outside
Damn have to wait for tomorrow for the first flight
During the evening I spend some time to study the latest updates to the laws for flying a drone in Europe. So I odered my "Numberplate", had a look for the best "drone insurance" and as well to get a "flying licence" to be legal with that Mavic Air Drone in the air in Europe.
Stay tuned

News from dropahead: How to give back to the dropahead Project in 15 seconds or less
That’s awesome. How much SBD did it cost you? I’m so impressed that you bought it with Steemit earnings.
I really want a drone as well. And that one looks like it could be a good choice with 4K video. If it is fairly silent in flight then it would be a real winner.
I’d be using mine for wildlife photography/ video. I imagine flying over water would be a little risky but that is mostly what I would be doing.
I bought this for my next trip to #Indonesia
Now I have some month to figure out all the functions.
I sold only a few SBD as the exchange rate was so high some month ago. All other I reinvest in my SteemPower
That’s fantastic. Hopefully we get another surge in price so I can buy one too. :)
Good job on the unboxing! You should do videos just like this. Just with moving pictures ;)
Have a nice day!
You will see some videos soon.
Hey, @syndicateframes, which video editor do you recommend?
I struggle a bit with Resolve and Premiere is as well a bit to much for me.
Thanks for stopping by!
I'm using Premiere Elements but would love to upgrade to Pro BUT Resolve looks interesting but very overwhelming though.
How exactly are you struggling with premiere?
If you use a mac, you can always use final cut, or even iMovie. I movie is a lot more basic to edit, but for start it's quite fine. Final cut pro in the other hand is more advanced altho still very simmilar to imovie in it's core.
But if you are using Windows, then You can check out hit film.
But Premiere elements look pretty ok too, altho haven't used it.
I use Premiere Pro and would suggest to study it. It is a very powerfull tool for everybody. It isn't that hard to wrap your head around it.
Premiere Pro FTW
Sieht verdammt sexy aus! sabber lechz
Habe ich lange drauf "gespart" und halt besonders auf diese Feature gewartet.
How much is it?
You get it from 800 USD on
I got the packege with 3 batteries wich is more expensive
Nice!! Congrats! I guess they gave up on the spark?
No, the spark is still available for around 500USD
Oh ok, word. Is this one less?? have you flown a full size mavic or spark?
oh jaaaa.... da kommt das Kind im Manne wieder raus :)
Viel Spaß beim Spielen - LOL
War heute schon bei leichtem Schnee in der Eifel...... Video folgt...
da bin ich ja gespannt wie ein Flitzebogen - ja ist eine kleine Anspielung auf Patrick udn sein Bogenschießen ... lol
Und ich flieg, flieg, flieg wie ein Flieger,
bin so stark, stark, stark wie ein Tiger,
und so groß, groß, groß wie 'ne Giraffe, so hoch. Wooo
Frag mal was der Kleine dazu sagt..... ;-)
Was meint er denn? Und mir fällt gerade wieder ein Zitat ein: " Männer bleiben immer Kinder, das einzige was sich ändert ist dass das Spielzeug teurer wird."
Wohl wahr!
Gibt aber auch "Jungs werden 8 und dann nur noch größer"
we wish you a lot of fun!! And we'll be waiting for the videos :-)
I'm working on this. Have tons of ideas, but need better weather here.
Looks great. We\re waiting for a video from it!
You will get some soon...
I've had the pleasure to pilot a quadrocopter year and a half ago in the university. Im sure you'll have fun+maybe some research
I see so many people getting excited about their new drones and I wonder if I’ll ever get interested in one :)
I’ve realized I’m a super late adopter with gadgets and pretty much anything, though for some reason not with cryptocurrencies!
Hi @connecteconomy I was waiting quite a while before I bought an expensive one and did some training with indoor and outdoor ones.
But this is fun and shows the world from many different angles.
Awesome I have been tempted to save up for one of these the technology and size is great now
Yes, this is a great value to buy!
Absolutely
But I know myself and know I wouldn’t use it as much as I should and it would end up gathering dust
