what do you use your drone for?

Paper weight. No apps will stay connected, period.

recreational flying and taking the odd photo / video for my website Which Greek Island this will be made much easier once the Mavic air arrives, lugging the P3a around when travelling is not fun.

Just fun!

For capturing aerial photography and footage

Mostly flying through trees

Fun. Home movies and snapshots. Learning to Fly (Pink Floyd or Tom Petty).

Adrenaline highs!

Nice video man. It can be nerve wrecking trying to thread the needle like that sometimes with such a high value item lol.

I got my drone for the fun of it...   also got it to film my family riding in the Oregon dunes on our ATVs....   Tested the ActiveTrak yesterday and I think it's going to be awesome!

I use mine mostly for fun. And to learn more about drones and flying...

For fun, it flies !

Neighbours bedroom windows, what else?

Seriously though, bought mine to mainly TRY to take some nice video of my area here in the Pyrenees and also hoping this year to start a gardening business and offer nice  images of client houses etc.

Will also offer video for the agricultural people here, working with the tractor etc in the summer.

That's the plan anyway.

Stills, panos, time lapses some video and the fun of flying it.

Flying for fun has become one of my hobbies, photo shoot and video recording is becoming another one.

Messing with the neighborhood cats and dogs, backyard swimming pools during the summer, and the occasional Condo Assoc. Directurz.....

I bought it for a good solid drone for recreational flying, but the more I mess around with the camera the more I want to go out and get some awesome shots WHILE enjoying the flight.

Still & Video photography, the flying is a necessary evil.

Aerial photos and video... when the weather is better

Flying over houses that have swimming pools. You’d be amazed what you see. Lol

Mine have been with DJI longer than I have had them, does that answer your question, plan on using them for fun also while im fishing,boating, just have fun with the family

I use mine for mostly automotive photography and film. Sometimes for landscape/adventure photography and film.

yeah you definitely have to concentrate. I find the most nerve wrecking is flying down from the open sky and through the tree canopy, it's smoothest to fly upwards and out but you've gotta get the bird back down!

Thanks, it's not too bad at this kind of height and easier than it looks. As long as it's not windy it's pretty safe once you're used to the controls and how it reacts as it passes through, over and under branches.

If serious, I missed flying (I used to paraglide) so I fly for fun (without risking my precious body
But also I film beautiful places and try to make people happy https://www.youtube.com/user/ThePesho00

UJust use mine for fun love looking around from up there and taking photos

I bought my 3 DJI drones (FW450, Phantom 1, Phantom 4 Pro) because I’m amazed at how incredible the tech is. All the great things it can do. I grew up in a time when TVs had no color or remote control, phones were “dialed” and had wires attached, cars were driven and couldn’t park and drive themselves, and remote control airplanes had two pieces of string and flew around in a circle. The amount of technology crammed into the Phantom 4 Pro is beyond the imagination of a 5, or even 10 year old me. I’m a solid fan of DJI and the way they’ve advanced this tech in such a short time. As for how I use it, I just fly around and video and photograph beautiful scenery. It’s become a new form of recreation for my wife and I. Where we used to talk about going to see places, we now plan and actually go to those places with an intent to use the drones to film.

Certainly getting that unique aerial photo
