Drone-Aerial

When I first started working at the Salk Institute, I was asked if I knew how to operate a drone. At the time, I did not. Short after I started studying for my Part 107 drone license. After passing the test, I became intrigued by this new photographic perspective. Angles from above I’ve never seen before. This opened a whole new way of seeing the world around me. I like to travel with my drone when I can so I always check the local UAV laws of the country I’m visiting. Currently operate the following DJI drones: Mini 3 Pro, Mavic Air 1 and  Mavic Pro 2 & 3.
