Hi from Croydon!

Introductions

Experienced photographer, added video and video editing into the mix in the last couple of years and now have a DJI Mini 2 to add into the creative portfolio. Only had one initial flight so far and enjoyed it. Looking for safe practice areas in my neck of the woods noting that I am quite near Biggin Hill and not a huge distance from Gatwick, let alone many other airfields, glider and hang glider sites.

Plus @PhilSwallow with the DJI Mini 2 you have a lot more freedom to fly in places other heavier drones can’t.

Check out Good 2 Go, it’ll tell you the types of places you can fly with ease:
