I've been flying drones since 2017 and became a FAA Licensed Commercial Drone Pilot in 2022. I started with the DJI Mavic Pro, and currently fly a DJI Mini 3 Pro.
Drone photography and video is a useful way of capturing the world around us (including collecting data about how roads, intersections, and shared use paths operate.) A few of my recreational flights can be found on YouTube, and some photos are in the Photo Gallery.
