Hi there, welcome to the group. I am sorry to say that you will probably just keep buying the things now. I bought a mini 2 and thought. That will do. NO IT WONTโ€ฆ I got carried away and I really have to stop now (well at least for a bit). After a meet today and someone telling me how pretty the new DJI shop is in Birmingham, I sorta want to go and look but really think it will be a bad idea. If is too easy to sayโ€ฆ oh what a pretty drone and go get another one. Again, welcome. Enjoy your stay. ---
