New First Time User - Rotherham

Hi all. At the age of 61 i wanted to try something different from normal photography ( just a pastime). So i had a good look around to see what the ideal drone would be.

After watching many YouTube Video’s mainly by Ian of London (Thanks), I decided to try the DJI Mini 3 PRO with the RC with screen on it.

Glad i made the jump to this rather than a cheaper one. I am amazed at the quality of the pictures and how the drone holds its picture with the gimble in windy days. I want to try some work over water but i have no insurance against flyaway and therefore reluctant to try just in case i lose it.

Any recommendations please (Cheap as chips) (I am an OAP). I have paid the insured membership fee which is a great price. Here’s looking forward to more flights and pictures.
