A pre-conference workshop for the California Naturalist Statewide Conference, Tahoe City

Friday October 7, 2022 • 1:00 - 3:00pm • free for conference attendees

If you've watched TV nature programs in the past 5 years, you've probably seen some breathtaking drone photos and video. "Could I do that?" you may be asking yourself. Join the UC ANR Informatics and GIS Statewide Program in a fun and educational introduction to applications of drone technology in natural environments. This two-hour workshop began with an overview of drone platforms, cameras, regulations, and best practices for operations, followed by a demonstration of one or more drone platforms with tips on taking drone photos, video, and 360 photospheres. Time permitting, the group had an opportunity to get your hands on the controls of a drone and do some flying yourself.

Requirements: Participants must be registered with the CalNat Statewide Conference. No experience needed.
