Yes. Many years ago I tried to join my brother in flying gas powered planes and helicopters. I did not have the patience to build planes, so purchased a gas helicopter - Shuttle XX if I recall correctly. Tried to learn to fly it for about 2 years and a lot of crashes before giving up.
Bought a Parrot AR 2.0 when they came out and was impressed by free flying, although range was very limited, camera so so, and blew away in any more than about a 5 mph wind.
Just over 3 years ago bought a P4. Was amazed at the photo and video quality, reliability, and how easy it was to fly. After 6 months I got my wife to try it and she got hooked. Bought her own P4. I've got over 80 hours of flying on my original P4 and it is still going strong.
We got into them at work and I became our "Drone Coordinator". Fleet includes several P3P, an
Inspire 2, a
P4P, three Mavic Enterprise, a Mavic Pro, and 5 recently acquired Mavic Minis.
I purchased my own Mavic Mini when they first came out and think it is a great unit for the price. I ordered another MM for my wife from Best Buy this morning.
They are all different and I enjoy flying them all. Every time I fly the technology impresses me and I can't wait to see where it will be 5 years from now.
According to Airdata, as of today I have about 212 hours flying time in.
