My first drone

As the title says ‘my first drone’. DJI fc40 9 years ago, this month. My word spent a fortune on the next 9 drones. What a journey

I have two, Mavic Platinum and Mini 2, very good.
I think I will leave it at that now as they do the job.
Unless herself spends more money on her stitching and scrapbook toys of course !!

Ah yes I do understand. I have now whittled it down to mavic3 pro, mini3 pro and Dji avata 1. The rest passed on to Grandson, sold 2 and gave 2 to my brother. Not buying anymore.

That’s a fair bit of kit :smiley:

What camera/gimbal setup did you have mounted on that pic?

It’s the model before the Phantom.

My P2 has the three-axis gimbal and GoPro, but that looks like the older 2 axis.

You can clearly see the cues they took :smiley:

Has, as in, current tense? I see it on your profile but I didn’t think you still had it :slight_smile: Are there any photos on here? :nerd_face:

Batteries aren’t any use any more, but I do have it, yup. Never been able to justify the expensive non-genuine replacements.

Most definitely! :grin:

:rofl:

I even used it for a post/video to demonstrate how compass positioning/orientation isn’t critical.

Somewhere I had a couple of decent pics of it with the replacement legs I added … and they’ll be on here, too, somewhere. Can’t find on here, or my laptop. I’ll dig further.

Edit:

Ha - then I instantly found it on here … link

Hi @darrenl4, it looks as though you’re quite new here :wave:t2:

Why not nip over to the Introductions page, and say hello properly and tell us a bit about yourself. :+1:t2:

Think it was an early GoPro. God I was too scared to let it out of my site. Lol
