From Northern Illinois, awaiting more spring like weather. I bought 2 Phantom 3 Pros in 2016. The reason for 2, is that I made a beginner's mistake with regards to a tree encounter. I decided to get a back up while that one was getting fixed. Anyhow, I got my Part 107 certification in 2017. Mostly, because friends want aerial shots and offer to pay, and my home town asks me to do promotional videos during some of their events. Since I'd gotten a Recreational Pilot's license some years ago, I decided to put it to use. Also if an opportunity comes along, I'm ready. I recently sold one of the P3Ps and got a Mavic Pro Platinum Fly More Combo. It will allow me to take it on airline trips and hikes easier. My passion is photography, so flying cameras expand the photo ops to another dimension.
