I got the DJI Mavic Pro Platinum, and this is one of the only shots I have left. I was practicing my skills flying it, and was really impressed with it’s ability to capture high resolution film in low light. The drone had a 1” hassleblad 4k camera.

Unfortunately I crashed the $2k drone into a tree next to the cathedral just a few weeks later, and lost it in the branches! I tried to retrieve the drone by borrowing a 30 foot ladder from the maintenance crew at the La Fonda Hotel across the street. When I was in the pine tree, the priest of the church came out and began yelling at me telling me he would call the police if I didn’t come down immediately. Luckily I didn’t go to jail that day!

I spoke to the church and they told me to hire an arborist with insurance to climb up the tree to retrieve the drone. When I called, the arborist told me he wouldn’t be able to help me for a few days. I then paid $100 for the arborist to climb the tree to find my drone, but he looked all over and didn’t find it. I asked the security at the church to review the footage of the cameras, and they saw a construction worker pick up the drone off the ground after it was blown out of the tree by wind!

Fulfilled several very long term camera dreams today. Hassleblad Medium Format, and a Leica R4, which I bought for the lens, but oh my god I'm in love with it already.
