I’ve been interested in drones for a few years but not been able to justify the cost of entry and finally bit the bullet at the end of the year when a good deal came up for the DJI Mini 3 Pro.
I’ve not yet been out for a proper flight other than testing things are working because if the weather we’ve had but I’m looking forward to getting some good shots in the area and further up north.
Happy to be a paying member as well, as the drone scene map is really good for helping me plan safe areas to start out in.
