Do you have a drone? If so, what kind and what do you use it for? Professional or hobbyist?

I use a DJI Mini 3 for work a couple of times a month. Very easy fly. Incredible image quality for the price. Small enough to fit in a carry on. Cheap enough that if I break it I don’t feel bad having to buy another one.
Had it for a couple of years. There’s probably even better stuff out now.

I have a DJI. I use it to check irrigation and take really cool farm pictures.
My roofer used a small drone to measure the amount of roofing materials needed.
He could only get to about 80 feet - too close to the airport.

Here's mine. It's not worth a ****. Picture quality is non-existent and I guess I lost the controller because it just flys wherever it wants to, when it flies ...
DJI mini 4 pro.
there are dedicated YouTube channels that teach you all the features of this drone. It’s pretty incredible what it can do

I'm on my 3rd, all have been DJI. My current one is the mini 3 pro. They are easy to fly, take great pics and video. Super portable. I suggest buying a $20 mini drone on Amazon first just to get the feel for the controls before flying an expensive one.
DJI mini 3 pro. I use it to check around the farm after storms more than anything now. When I first got it, I did a lot of flying and videoing. Last year when we remodeled the house I made some videos of before during and after all the changes. It's amazing the video quality and stability in windy conditions for something so small.
Had one of those but I upgraded to the one with the rubber band and propeller. Much longer flight time.
Agreed. But it really hurts when that rubber band snaps into your face. The pitfalls of modern technology.
When we cleaned out my mothers house a few years ago I found a shoe box that had 8-10 of these still in the package. There is no telling how many of these I purchased at Elmores 5&10.
I had a bunch of these growing up. My dad was never real happy while fishing them off the roof with a ladder and a rake.
Our department bought one for surveying. Multiple employees will be using them so we had a rep from the company do a class for us. The rep was showing off how fast it could go and flew it into the side of a metal building and tore it up. He said one of the props malfunctioned and he couldn't control it.
They sent a new one to us and we handled training ourselves.....
