Hi there @Tom1980 and welcome to the GADC. What drone are you looking at? DJI series is a great way to go. Mini 3 pro, Mini 4 pro, even the Mini 4K (although I don’t know much about this one). These are all great under 250g drone. Let us all know how you get on.

One thing to remeber, there are no silly questions, only silly people who do not ask. There will always be someone who can help, or help find the answer. So if you need any advice have a look around on the fourum, it has probably already been asked, and if not, ask away.

Thank you so much for the help and welcome. I’m looking at the Mini Pro 4 after watching a stack of reviews on it. I’m going to order it later on today, can’t wait to get going now.

Thats a cracking choice. Worth getting it witht he Fly more kit too if you can budget that extra (extra batteries and smart charger).

Yes thats the bundle im looking at. To insure the drone, should i use DJI’s own cover or Cover Drone ?

Thanks

The care refresh from DJI is very reccomended, then you van get insured with The GADC insurance throught having the GOLD mebership, public liability, worth having, and it’s a great deal.

I think i will just get them both for piece of mind.

Definately. The care refresh only covers the drone, repair, un explained fly aways etc. The Gold mebership with insurance covers you for accidents, or incidents, public liability, so both will be needed.

I would also reccomend the screen controller, rather than using a mobile phone.

What have you purchased?

There are some great forums for help on grey arrows. Ive been stuck a few times and helped out by members. If you can get your self to some of the local meets you will meet like minded people and most have encountered the same issues on there journeys.
