The Drone Party

I never thought I’d be EXCITED to see DRONE CRASHES (ep.12 FPV DRONE RACING!)

Is First Person View or FPV drone racing actually interesting to watch? What happens at these FPV drone races, is it fun, who goes to them, and more in today's Drone Party Podcast. I was invited to attend the largest in-person FPV drone race in the world (to date). It was held by The Drone Racing League at LoanDepot in Miami, Florida. 📝 Read this as a blog post: https://whereintheworldiscl.com/?p=1594 📖Read the KEY TAKEAWAYS and find the content referenced in this episode in the full blog post! 🎥 See the entire VIDEO playlist: https://bit.ly/TheDroneParty [https://bit.ly/EVERYDAYBADASSERYPODCAST] 💥Learn to fly drones with me: https://christinelozada.teachable.com/ [https://christinelozada.teachable.com/] —————————————————— 🙋🏻‍♀️ Let’s CONNECT!

He (literally) swam in sh** to get his crashed drone (ep.11 @scratchyourmapa )

They’ve had 99 drone problems and (literally) swimming through a river in which every restaurant toilet empties out into was one of them.  These are some of the craziest drone stories I’ve heard. From drone crashes, to getting spare parts sent to remote islands (accidentally delivered the day after they’ve left), drones getting stolen, or controllers running out of batteries, literally NOTHING is stopping this content creating power couple Danni and Fede  @scratchyourmapa  [https://studio.youtube.com/channel/UCa44-QmlA7LoDUrHi1d_66w] from flying their drone. 📖Read the KEY TAKEAWAYS and find the content referenced in this episode in the full blog post! https://whereintheworldiscl.com/?p=1440 🎥 See the entire VIDEO playlist: https://bit.ly/TheDroneParty [https://bit.ly/EVERYDAYBADASSERYPODCAST] 💥Learn to fly drones with me: https://christinelozada.teachable.com/ [https://christinelozada.teachable.com/] —————————————————— 🙋🏻‍♀️ Let’s CONNECT!

He later realized cheap drones and DJI drones are totally different (ep.10 w/@destination_unknown_dj)

Dennard Jackson lost interest in drones after he flew a cheap toy drone back in 2016, but later realized that “real drones” are totally different. Inspired by the point of view a drone is capable of capturing, Dennard of Destination Unknown Travels got the Mavic Air 1. His first flight was also his first crash while he was traveling in Ireland, but it wasn’t his scariest flight. His crash in the woods required sending his drone to get fixed. Fast forward, he now flies the Mavic Mini 1 and I’ve had the opportunity to fly with him in Sarasota Florida and the Bahamas. 📖Read the KEY TAKEAWAYS and find the content referenced in this episode in the full blog post!  https://whereintheworldiscl.com/?p=1013 🎥 See the entire VIDEO playlist: https://bit.ly/TheDroneParty [https://bit.ly/EVERYDAYBADASSERYPODCAST] 💥Learn to fly drones with me: https://christinelozada.teachable.com/ [https://christinelozada.teachable.com/] —————————————————— 🙋🏻‍♀️ Let’s CONNECT!

A professional filmmaker who uses a drone as part of his toolkit (ep.9 w/@JacobsMedium)

There is no easier way to get an establishing shot than using a drone. Meet Jacob Sigala [https://www.jacobsmedium.com/], a photographer, filmmaker and creative director. His first drone was the Mavic 1 Pro in 2016 and his first flight happened while he was traveling in Iceland. Amazing right? Not really if you’re trying to figure out how to operate the drone AND you’ve got windy conditions. He was not prepared, his drone did NOT fly the way he expected it to, but I applaud him because he did it anyway (and kept trying!!) even in windy and challenging situations. Deciding to fly the drone is half the battle. 📖Read more about this episode including the KEY TAKEAWAYS and content referenced in this episode: https://whereintheworldiscl.com/?p=1008 🎥 See the entire VIDEO playlist: https://bit.ly/TheDroneParty [https://bit.ly/EVERYDAYBADASSERYPODCAST] 💥Learn to fly drones with me: https://christinelozada.teachable.com/ [https://christinelozada.teachable.com/] —————————————————— 🙋🏻‍♀️ Let’s CONNECT!

The Spanish authorities made him leave his drone in a castle ditch (ep.8 with @Curious Pavel )

Meet Curious Pavel! A videographer from Bulgaria who makes super fun videos about travel. His wife told him NOT to buy a drone. He bought the Mavic Air 2 anyway only to realize she bought him the Mavic Mini 1 as a gift.    📖Read more about this episode (including key learnings and my fave content from Pavel!): https://whereintheworldiscl.com/?p=994  🎥 See the entire VIDEO playlist: https://bit.ly/TheDroneParty  💥Learn to fly drones with me: https://christinelozada.teachable.com/ 🙋🏻‍♀️ Let’s CONNECT!
