New flyer from Berkshire.

Introductions
1

Hi all,

New Flyer here. Currently residing in Slough, Berkshire. I recently picked up a DJI Mini 4 Pro after doing plenty of research. What a piece of kit.

Late last year I passed my driving test so the plan is to travel around and record the sights of the UK by air. Possibly even start a little hobby channel on youtube. :slight_smile:

Took the new toy out for my first flight today which was very unnerving. Went high up in the hills just outside of Hungerford and let me tell you… bad idea not to take gloves today.

Anyway. Enough waffling. Here’s a little 4K60 test footage from her maiden flight. Poorly edited.

Hi Colin @geordiedeviant :wave:t2:

Try a few searches, there’s a few threads with recommendations for fingerless gloves and electric body warmers :smiley:

Don’t forget to keep those batteries warm too!

Hi there…very good for first time out👍Mini 4 Pro, soo easy to fly😊had mine a couple of years and well pleased with it. Also got a NEO as well for tracking me whilst cycling, a lot easier than using the Mini 4 Pro, get the NEO in the air in less than a minute🙄I’m in Holmer Green, registered and have flyer ID too…worth it. Just waiting for the weather to warm up a bit before I take my new e-bike out to take some tracking shots🤔

Welcome aboard. If you are looking for gloves also look for the ones that work with touch screen. Last thing you want is to have to take them off every time you need to use a touch screen.
