Exploring the Best Camera

There's a popular saying that goes, "The best camera is the one you have with you." This concept is at the heart of the "The Best Camera Is..." series, where we delve into the remarkable photographs captured with the camera I had on hand.

During a three-month period in 2019, the camera that accompanied me was none other than the DJI Mavic Pro 2. After realizing my cumbersome drone was impractical for travel, I opted for this compact model. With a trip to Norway approaching, I decided to make the investment, and it turned out to be a fantastic choice. Throughout my journey, this drone proved invaluable and allowed me to capture breathtaking moments.

Upon returning home, I ultimately decided to return the drone, as financial priorities took precedence over owning a second flying machine. However, the experiences I had with it were nothing short of unforgettable.
