New here! From Stroud, Gloucester

Introductions
1

Hello all I’m Andy. I am new to this completely. I got into this when we were having some home repairs looked at, and the surveyor used a DJI 2 to look at some damage.

I now have a DJI Mini Pro 4 arriving tomorrow. Never flown a drone before, so all new to me.

I have questions re: Insurance, where not to fly, best practice etc, but I will find a suitable thread for that.

Thanks all

Andy

Thanks PinSpike for the welcome.

I’m based in Stroud, Glos. I had a look at insurance before, and I think it was about £80 a year. Then you have a policy that covers from accidental damage through DJI.

I will have a look at the links you have sent, many thanks.

Andy

Hi Andy. I found UAVHUB to be absolutely brilliant, and they have all the angles covered and comprehensively detailed training. Other training providers will offer good programs too so shop around and find the best one for you.

Hi @Turnstones, 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:

Hi Andy, same position, I have had my dji mini 4 pro for about a week now, having lots of fun learning how to fly, lots of advice on YouTube and of course from the members on here, have fun and keep your obstacle avoidance on :joy:
