Instagram post 2194252988988545977_315371638 Repost from @fabiancoetzerphoto: "Recently I was asked “do I plan images?” Was this image planned? Yes, the idea/concept was planned but to say that this “exact” image, considering all the uncontrollables, was planned would be a lie. There’s always an element of surprise when reviewing a session." The beauty always lies in that element of surprise - thanks for sharing!

Instagram post 2193641284834117924_315371638 The new @djiglobal Mavic Mini really is a work of art! Weighing in at an ultra light-weight 249 grams and with a diagonal wingspan of 170mm without propellers making the new DJI Mavic Mini classifiable in the smallest and safest class of consumer drones.
This new Mavic Mini may be small in size but don’t let that fool you into thinking it doesn’t pack a punch, it just might be the perfect content creation companion in the palm of your hand.
