From a quick and completely uninformed prospective 99% of pilots seem to be male. Not that it matters but there you go DJI just doubled your customer base……pink colour scheme?   

I must confess that I have also put this poll up on the Mavic forum and messed up with the set up as well as being politically incorrect so for the third option (which I have to have) apologies if I got it wrong!

Are you

  

no check out drone girl RC Saylor's and the drone show they got women enthusiast as far as cars my girlfriend loves them and I have built her a nice rock crawler

In my experience females tend to be more interested in the Phantom than males, maybe less likely to fly them but still interested.
On the forum it is often hard to tell if people are male or female

Sort of irrelevant to vote on this, as you're just capturing those that visit the forum. I can certainly say that my girlfriend loves flying my P4 and gets a kick out of the photos which it captures on her flights. In fact, that's the reason I decided to keep the P4 when I bought my P4P.

Last weekend we spent a day video'ing a vineyard here in Australia, and she captured angles and perspectives which I didn't even think of. The video will be much better when I put it together as a result, so I'll be encouraging her interest further...

Ha ha ha, "You 'be' funny boy".  Make me giggle, and grin.

Nah, I'm 110% male. And have an organ to prove it. Chuckles

Really? I have a Wurlitzer too, but that doesn't mean anything.

according to the american political left genders are just a social construct so how do we even identify? certainly a reproductive organ will not have anything to do with it

Mine is a black Yamaha Motif XF8 like Stevie Wonder plays, also have an Electone with two key beds and foot pedals.
I mostly think of the name Wurlitzer as being a jukebox. ;-)

Does this resemble yours?

Sorry, Red, I had to take the last one down. It still needs to be a little more 'family friendly' here.

Talking musical keyboards, not sexual organs. Haha

But yeah, I understand your thoughts. Different forum though... ;-)

Hey, that's cool.
Sensitive viewers are about. We need an adults only forum section. Off topic forum page too.
Was it too graphic, & real? See more than that on any family friendly beach and pool side. ;-)

I get you. That one, though, was just a little bit 'on the nose'. It's not the worst thing I've had to delete here, by far, but it crossed the border a little. Nuance goes a long way.

Did you get a copy, before you deleted it? ;-)

Good stuff. Thanks for sharing. Post a video?  Haha

I missed it.  :-(

In the current political realm here in the USA, the poll needs to include, "Confused".

Ah, then you have been lax... ;-)

PM me your email addy, and I shall send you a delightful print.

It's only of a gal flying her drone, but her attire is more for a sandy beach, than formal forum wear! Ha


Here I though velvet tuxedos were optional, not mandatory.

That's admirable, and kind of you.

I only wondered why she Needed such a large model?

She buys the best! One month before her bought the Inspire she bought a $30K Harley Davidson trike. She doesnt have that much time left on earth and wants to have as much fun as possible!

I had priced the HD trikes while shopping for mine. I found the standard basic no frills model, in black was around $40,000CDN. I opted for the Canadian built '13 Can Am SpYder RS-S Roadster. ;-)

Let me have my fun and share my humour?
With all them awesome toys of hers, are you dating her too? Get your name in the will as well!  Lover Boy

She has been a good friend of my wife and me since she attended my photography classes a decade ago when I use to teach. She is now a professional photographer with several books published of her work. I don't think my wife would approve of us dating but she said that she is willing her Inspire to me so I can fly it in her place after she has flown the coop.

You understand I as only kidding you right? ;-)

I think it's great that she has been so young at heart.
I hope we are all that spirited, when we get up in age. Your wife must be proud of you, for being such a helpful teacher, that she, and likely many others have excelled from your tutelage.

Hope that you will continue being a giver, and sharing your photography passion with others. Thanks

Yes, if pulling ones leg can get a happy reaction, I'm all over it.

I was just in a PM chat telling DJI Jamie about seeing George Carlin live in concert many years ago.

Humour is the best medicine, but having the ability to laugh at ones self is a great attribute.


I'm happy that you understood my true intent, and not being insultive towards your cause with your elderly friend. I think it's admirable, and a worthy cause, for you to spend your time helping others learn to fly RC.

Responding to forum polls is an exclusively male pastime, or so it seems.

Ditto to all you've  said.

On this planet, for our short time here, alive, laughter is truly all we have. That's one reason that for the last 3 decades at least, I end all my correspondence with,

Keep Smiling,

P.S. George Carlin's "Stuff" remains one of the funniest bits about our humaness ever presented.

Yes, often when we laugh all our troubles vanish, for that time, and we feel much better.

No wonder some people laugh at funerals, but cry at weddings...  ;-)

Banter in the poll threads is an exclusively male pastime.

A response rate of 32! Maybe we need a poll to determine if poll's are worthwhile

We need a poll for starting a poll of the polls.

I let my wife fly the Phantom and she was like "that's nice...can we go for a walk now?" LOL
