Just wanted to say hi to all. I have just joined this forum having got my Onyx black Mavic Air a few weeks ago.
I have flown drones before but am noe getting back into it after quite a long absence.

Happy flying to all

Hi, @jw33679

Welcome to GADC!!

I too flew drones a while back - a Phantom 2, back in the days of using GoPro cameras and no FPV. It ended up sitting on a shelf pretty much unused for a couple of years until I bought the Mavic Pro about 20 months back.
It’s amazing how things have progressed/improved and got smaller at the same time.

Whilst I can never remember who, there are plenty of other members from the London area, too.

Thanks for the warm welcome !!

Hi @jw33679, welcome to GADC.

Any questions don’t hesitate to ask.

Also make sure to check out or add to the map over at https://dronescene.co.uk.

What type of drones did you fly previously? How are you finding the Air?

Hey Callum,
I have owned various micro quads, a phantom 1, a heavy lift camera platform and a couple of 250 racers, all of which I have now left behind me. Oddly I don’t race nor do aerial photography in any professional sense but I love drone technology and flying.

Now I have just two quads to get me back into the game. A tello for mucking about and my wonderful Mavic Air which was a gift to me from my better half.
Both drones are great in their own way but the MA is my precious hahaha

Same as me mate.

Mavic Air must be a breeze to fly coming from a racing drone. :wink:

I kind of did the opposite. Lol

Hello and welcome from sunny Wales.

Without doubt, the best colour for the Air :+1:

Hi @jw33679, welcome to GADC. Great to have another Londoner in the club (technically I live outside the city but I claim citizenship by right of birth!). Which part of London are you in and have you found any decent places to fly?

11

@PingSpike Yup the onyx is a cool colour. Mind you I like the white too and read somewhere that white helps keep the MA cool when flying on hot sunny days.

@everyone Thanks for all the warm welcomes and advice.

Great forum

Welcome from not so sunny Egham.

I have to disagree, the white one is better, wasn’t keen on the red though :upside_down_face:

17

Feeling another poll coming on! :joy:

18

The thing that put me off the red was the gloss finish.
I am entirely happy with my onyx black but must admit that the white is very cool too and would complement my tello very well
