Hello CT GISsers, I am getting a drone, starting on a cheap one to train with and test. From there depending on how things work out upgrading to a better model. I do a lot of cartography and small environmental projects. Light weight is important as I make a lot of trekking maps so transport via bike or foot. Overall my work is a mixed bag so in the past a drone has not been needed much. I am looking mainly at the DJI line of drones, but open to others. Looking to spend $50 -400 for the cheap version, then later spending more. What is the recommendation on how to start out, training in person or on-line? Getting a license? Looking for a 1-3 day short course maybe? In CT or the northeast? Thanks, bruce -- .:*~*:._.:*~*:._.:*~*:._.:*~*:..:*~*:._.:*~*:._ Bruce D.
