The DJI workshop... I came for the education, I stayed for the free (empty) goodie bag

DJI is trying to emulate Apple with their style... 

but not the Apple of today... The Steve jobs era where each phone seems like an improvement year on year...

Today it’s Drones and with each new design comes new innovation... Smaller form factor, better stability and intelligent navigation features... 

DJI breakthrough drone, phantom series still is a big seller and with the mavic pro and spark... Consumer drones have never been more popular... if you go to a typical DJI store after visiting a Apple shop... in my case it’s not too difficult in Hong kong... you’ll notice the similar design of a uncluttered display on a white backdrop..,

Anyway the DJI flagship store at their Hong kong branch has a few classes demonstrations of the basic operations... Don't expect complex film techniques or maneuvers or a class in doing a dolly zolly zoom... Instead be grateful to get a free (but empty Goodie bag) I think my workshop was advertised as a photograph workshop... But really it was two blokes going about the conservation of African Cheetahs and a American who was showcasing his DJI promo videos ( the one DJI video with a horse in it...) The class consisted with probably rich hobbyists doing it for fun... (no Pfco holders or Part 107 holders)... The video was ok but due to Data bottle necking the TV was struggling to get the right frame rate and it was clearly strobing as the Apple lap top was displaying the fancy DJI videos... I ended up wiping the notes to the workshop class as I didn't learn anything...

I did realize that this videographer was lucky and started at a time when not many drone videos where about... DJI approached him and how he got a DJI gig... I presume its different now as very Droner or middle aged dude on the planet is now showing their videos on you-tube... including myself... And whats up with you-tube breaking ties and DE-monetizing the videographers who have just started to pick up traffic on their web pages?... Either way if you have the opportunity to go to a Workshop and sit through a class... I would urge you to go, at least only for the free goodie bag and a chance to talk to a videographer whose doing well for himself... Perhaps ask DJI them selves to invite other droners with tons of experience to do a talk... because Ill do it for a laugh...
