Having Fun with Drones with David Wong

Drone photography is everywhere. The drone cameras are excellent, and the ability to place your camera where you want it is intoxicating. Are you considering entering the world of drone photography? Do you desire input on equipment training or licensing needs? Join professional photographer, pilot, and drone enthusiast David Wong for a one-day workshop to begin your journey.

In this workshop, David Wong will provide an overview of drones and the drone market today. We will discuss the range of beginning drones to more advanced drones for hobbyists and burgeoning commercial pilots and what features you get at the different price points. There will also be an overview of the various cameras available for many drones.

In the morning session, we will have two of the latest popular drones (DJI Mavic 3 and Mini 3 Pro) for you to examine up close. You will see their features and actual photos and videos taken with them. Additional models may be on hand for examination and discussion.

Morning topics will include:

• Drone regulations and what you can do and can’t do.
• Different licensing requirements for purely recreational flying and for commercial part 107 drone pilots.
• Training resources are available for those who want to monetize their photography and video capabilities.
• Flying safety and best practices for flying without damage.

In the afternoon session, we will go to a nearby site to fly these drones for a live demo of the flying, photography, and video that you can do with these drones.
