Shalom everyone,

I'm curious who has a drone at WCF?  I just got my Mavic Pro Platinum and I gotta say -- it's incredible!  I'm taking photos and I'm like WOW!  This is incredible.  So I started a Drone Club, if you have a drone, or may be interested in one -- join and let's share some of the cool photos, videos and tips. 

Just some of the cool photos, I took today,

This is the view from the Arad Overlook flying toward the Dead Sea.  Behind the water is the country of Jordan.

This is another drone shot overlooking the desert of Israel.

This is the first day, I've had my drone, but I have to say -- it's now my favorite hobby.  :)

If you have a drone, join the club!

God bless,

George

I’ve seriously been giving it some thought. Been YouTube-ing vidoes about the Mac Pro Platinum.  Sounds like your quite satisfied with your purchase. Those are some great shots. Was considering the Spark also? 2 grand with all the accessories is something I’m got to chew on!  :)

Much love in Christ, Not me

I didn't pay 2 grand -- it was $1300.  This is the package I bought.

Wow thanks for the encouragement. I have been looking at getting certified, and then taking the use of it into commercial application. I'm curious, what governmental limits/controls do you have to comply with where you are located? The photos are great encouragement to make the purchase!

The use of drones in real estate sales has had a positive effect I think. As example; my wife had a property for sale out in the country, couldn't sell it. After six months she switched realtors to a  realtor that dispatched a drone on a Thursday, posted the photos and video on a Friday. The following Monday she had three offers and a sale at a price higher than she had asked for previously, full price of the new listing.

You don't need to be certified unless you plan on being 'commercial'.  But if you do it all as a hobbyist, then it's pretty basic.  In Israel, I was blown away by some of the videos done by my friends in the land.  So I was thinking of how to do killer videos for my wife.

This will definitely HELP to sell a house if you can post the listings ONLINE with overview shots etc.  This is how you can get an overview shot of a house.

This is an overview of the top of my house.  :)

Yea I saw thoses bundles. I also added up, if I remember, the landing pad, extra long legs, lens cover,  charger and a couple extra batteries, the total I was looking at was right under 2000.00 dollars. But like I said,  I was grabbing some extras. Enjoy your drone! :)

Before the World Cup Game, I wanted to test how far away I could fly the drone. This is over 9,000 feet away from me. So almost 2 miles away these are some of the photos I took.

This is the Dead Sea area, but you can tell there's a serious dust haze over the region.

This is taken as the drone starting returning to me nearly 2 miles out.

This was a shot straight under the drone.

God bless,

George

Wow this IS fun!

George, I presume you mean music videos?  I can imagine  to some degree, having enjoyed the few I have seen  online already. The voice, the terrain, all very powerful  to the spirit. As example this one with the terrain of the land https://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=rivka+whitman+music+videos+you+tube&view=detail&mid=CC4F14D2598D54DECEB8CC4F14D2598D54DECEB8&FORM=VIRE

This is one of her videos.  This is what I want to do on a new level.

God bless.
