My DRONE FAILED at the Worst Time

I got the chance to test out the DJI Mavic 3 Early so I took it to Alaska to get some epic shots but had a few issues along the way. Learn to edit stories like this in my new course: geni.us/dkNlQnp

    Great location, great attitude and great story! I could really empathize with the frustration and elation of this experience. Also appreciate that this was more of a story about the testing a pre-release product than it was a definitive review of a drone. A true professional is prepared to overcome obstacles, and that you did.

    Great video! one of the best so far! Congrats for being able to manage the frustration and to turn unfortunate episodes into something so exciting and attention gripping. I loved the shot where it seems like you are remote controlling the chopper!! :-) also I have to say that the shots taken by the camera mounted on the rear rotor of the chopper are the sickest...You know what I think I loved most? The rithm, i mean the editing is fantastic.

    Thank you for this inspiring story, because this was more than just a video. My first response when the M3 didn’t work was, DJI rushed this drone to the public and other thoughts… but, as I watched the rest of your story in Alaska my thoughts changed as you explained how it would’ve been easy to get mad at DJI, the drone and lost footage. It wasn’t about the bad. It was about taking in what you HAD and being grateful for the experience. Side note: I don’t think people know how much time and money these take to produce. Well done to the both of you!

    Inspirational. Did a solo trip to Alaska from the UK back in 2010 with just a 4 x 4 for a home and a mountain bike for exploring, on a month long road trip through the wilderness. Up to now, the most life affirming experience of my life. To have had a drone at the time would have been the icing on the cake, but now I have one I guess it's time to plan the return trip. Thanks for fuelling the life goals 🤘

So was she a student pilot clocking flight hours? Share the aviation services details so one day I can tick my bucket list off flying my Mavic there too.
