What planets? I don’t have an app. Also a nice looking sky

Jupiter and Venus I believe. Checked this last week on a star gazer app.

Thank you for saving me from making the obvious “huh, huh, Uranus” joke.

This might be more for @sundaybag or @djpie - but our yearly bonus just paid out and I’m OFFICIALLY in the market for my first drone.

Heard all kinds of great things about the DJI Mini 2 and 3 Pro, am leaning 3 Pro BUT was curious if anyone had recommendations for a solid starter drone for professional photography and “recreational” videography.

I think @Cody has a mini. We fly the Mavic 3 and it is unbelievable for video and photos.

@Cody the Mini 3 pro? That’s been the most popular one I’ve seen online so far, but wondered if I could get away with the 2 for the lower cost

I mean if ya got some of them photos…

I have a mavic air 2 I could be convinced to sell if your want to get in the game for less money.

The Mini is more what I (think) I’m looking for strictly for the form factor.
Something portable and small to carry in a golf bag while walking if needed.

Although a Mavic Air 2 would be a nice step up…
Have you brought it on course at all?

GeneralQuinn · March 2, 2023, 10:54pm

I have a couple times. It’s small enough to fit in a bag but have only taken it with a cart since I’m no expert and hardly use it.

Here’s a couple of unedited clips from one of our roost meet ups. Including the drone almost getting smoked by a ball.

Nothing wildly impressive here but this is sawgrass from up top on a grey, flat day with no edit:

I especially love the moment you captured in the far right of the first picture. The person in the white top looks like one of those saints in agony/ecstasy that you see in classical paintings.
