This is really more than a Masterclass.

I am really happy and satisfied with the course in general. The coverage of all aspects of mapping, from planning to delivery is actually a lot more than what I expected. Very comprehensive and the rendering of the course is second to none.

Compared to other courses I've done, this is neither stressful, confusing, nor too much to handle. I’m happy I can complete it before my drone gets here.

Loved the Air3 course

Loved the Air3 course. LOTS of information. This drone has so many features I wasn't aware of. This time thru the course, for me, was just an overview of the content. Now, I need to do the course again, and take some notes, and/or have my controller in-hand to play with the features that the course video is demonstrating. Great course. Thanks for providing it.
