Hi folks, thought it time to introduce myself, I’m in Lowestoft, moved here two years ago when I decided to retire.
My name is Mark and I am 60 years old.
I made the mistake a couple of years ago of buying a Qinux K8 lol, I still have it and tbh I like to describe it as my indoor drone, thats to say I fly it indoors in my living room when her indoors is out.
Any way, back in August I shelled out my hard earned for a HYTOBP P17 Gps from Amazon, quite easy to fly although the stabilityis not great & the camera leaves a bit to be desired if I’m honest.
After playing with the HYTOBP I decided to invest in a DJI Mini 4K fly more combo a couple of weeks ago, what a difference! Absolutely superb little Drone and the camers and the stability is excellent, thing is I’m a bit disappointed with myself for not researching properly and if I knew then what I know now I would’ve probably spent the extra money for the Mini 3 Pro, I believe the mini 3 pro has the remote ID built in? Is that correct.
I’m also into Motorcycles, I own a Triumph Bonneville T120 1200cc, so I’m now looking forward to when the warmer weather next year and pack my Drones in my saddle bags and head of into the Norfolk/Suffolk countryside again on the bike and now with the drones get some quality footage of the English countryside.
Flying a drone is great fun but sometimes you feel the need to have a purpose for doing so and the Challenges category provides some great reasons for you to fly.
There are regular challenges which are open to all, that attract members of all abilities. Support, advice and constructive criticism is freely available; still photography, video and the techniques for editing both are involved in the challenges. Suggestions, for subjects or for complete challenges, are always welcome - take a look in the Challenges category for more information.
