Hi all - I’m very new to this drone lark, having been given a Holy Stone 175D for Christmas.
Yes, I know it’s a cheap 'n cheerful drone, but I’m having fun learning to fly it. I wanted something affordable to start with to see if I liked the hobby and then maybe buy something more expensive down the line.
Looking forward to photographing the ancient sites and the scenery we’re blessed with in Derbyshire.
