Hi
,
Greetings all I’ve been severely bitten by the droning bug
it started in 2015 when I had some recuperation time after an operation had a hankering for a drone. Purchased a Parrot AR 2 & I’m ashamed to say it never came out of its box other than initial inspection it’s still box fresh in the cupboard never flown I must remedy this. So it restarted with a HS175 got a great dealI was toying with the Mini 2 but not wanting to invest too heavily initially I opted for the cheaper option BIG MISTAKE I’ve had no luck with it managed one unsuccessful flight was extremely underwhelmed & not being a quitter went all in with the Mini 2 fly more kit. Enjoyed flying it & splurged on the DJI FPV it’s insane & an absolute blast. Due to my location it’s always a battle with wind so flying time is limited the DJI’s handle it really well. I’m currently getting a lot of simulator time in attempting to learn how to fly the FPV in manual mode. I have some plans for interesting movies & pictures from the Rock…. That’ll do it !
Hi @OfficerDoofie and welcome to Grey Arrows ![]()
Good choice on the M2 and DJIFPV, cracking bits of kit (I have both too)
