Thanks to everyone at Rocky Nook, including Scott Cowlin, managing director and publisher, for the freedom to let me explore the amazing still photography and video capabilities of the DJI Mavic Air 2 and Air 2S in depth. I couldnt do it without my veteran production team, supervised by my project manager, Jenny Davidson. Also, thanks to Bill Hartman, layout; Valerie Hayes Perry, indexing; Mike Beady, proofreading; Mike Tanamachi, cover design; and my agent, Carole Jelen, who has the amazing ability to keep both publishers and authors happy.

Special thanks go to technical editor Don Burkholder. He was an accomplished professional photographer even before he got his commercial pilots license decades ago, and insights from his experience with drone photography were invaluable. I also want to thank veteran shooter Kolman Rosenberg, a consummate photojournalist who also applies his skills to a broad range of other types of photography, including compelling images from his DJI aircraft. You can see more of his work at www.kolmanphotos.com. Finally, I was lucky enough to receive some very useful tips from another commercial photographer and drone pilot, Rick Murray. Youll find some inspirational shots at www.memoriesbymurray.com.
