Hello everyone from Wolverhampton / Birmingham

Hello everyone :wave:,

I bought a DJI Mini 4 Pro from the DJI Store in Birmingham at the end of December. I’ve always been fascinated by drones and after trying it out in the store, it sold me for how easy it was to fly and I took one home.

I’ve only flown it a few times in my back garden. I’m a little nervous to take it out in public, so I’m hoping to build up that confidence eventually by finding a quiet area somewhere I can play it with it and then go out and take pictures of cool areas like lighthouses, those cool roundabouts with sculptures, etc. I want to make an Instagram and upload my cool photos there as a collection.

Hopefully I’ll build up the confidence soon. But thought I would introduce myself here as I’ve been reading all through your posts, looking at pictures, and hopefully will attend a meet-up if there is one near.
