Drone life ain’t easy

Bought a DJI Mini 3, awesome unit, had some fun crashed it once, fixed it, then was attacked by a bird. Sent it back to DJI for repair, one of the easiest experiences as well fast & clear on what they are doing.

I have started an Instagram account for the drone pictures and video as well as a Wirestock account to try and sell some stock content.
