Hello, my name is Hugh and I’ve just bought a DJI Mini 4K at a knock down price from Amazon (price just shot up again so great timing )
My previous experience with a Holy Stone drone was disastrous as I couldn’t maintain any sort of flight with the thing - it was so unstable that I put it away last year and haven’t tried again since.
However the DJI has been fantastic and easy in comparison during test and familiarisation flights in the garden yesterday even though it was quite breezy, so I’m looking forward to trying a proper flight soon.
There will be silly beginner questions to please bear with me, but first of all, I have labelled the drone with my operator ID so will this take it over the under 250g weight or is it acceptable?
