Thank you for the easy to understand and also short video, you answered a lot of questions I had. I got into drones basically by accident. The place I work had this drone that was built by engineering students 10+ years ago. They wanted to return it to functionality. I was given two boxes of parts, and the only experience I had with drones was a dromida ominus I bought on a whim around 2013. Over the last six months I've learned about flight controllers, radios, analog video transmitters, analog video cameras, diversity receivers, gps antennas, gimbals, gimbal controllers, and a whole host of other things. I bought a DJI Mini 2 so I could practice flying, only to find out the mini-2 is almost completely idiot proof while the drone I had been working on was ten kilograms of noisy whirling death without anything that would keep me from flying it into a wall or tree. I've gained some skills and reflexes for flying, and now I'm considering a career change.

Just subscribed I’m in the works of obtaining my pilots 107. And getting the DJI mini Se 2 to start ,until I can save for a DJI 3pro. I work 40 hours a week for 17 an hour and I’m trying to change that. It’s not feasible to live on that. Good luck with the business. You’ll do great!

I appreciate the to-the-point video. My wife and I already run a photography business and I’m considering expanding into drone content. I already have a Mavic Pro that was given to me, but I’m looking at getting an FPV drone. Either way, this was a helpful video! Thanks for sharing
