Gregory Daley, CPP, CDP (Certified Drone Photographer) and licensed FAA UAS pilot will lead this outing. You may view an example of his south Louisiana drone work here on YouTube.
Lunch will be at the Atchafalaya at Idlewild Golf Course dining room, Dutch treat. People can come and go- They can reach me by my mobile phone 337-280-0100 but may find locating us a challenge, since some of these places are quite off the beaten path.
At each venue attendees will see:
How to prep for and launch of drone,
How to Fly Drones
How to do Drone still photography (Hasselblad camera)
How to do Drone videography and how to make it cinematic,
How to do Automated drone flight videography,
How to return to base RTB
How to land and recover drones
