Hi all, names Roland and I’m in Barnsley, South Yorkshire. Just got me new DJI Mini 5 Pro and trying to discover all it can do. Had my first proper outing with it last night to Sandal Castle in Wakefield. Joined here for tips and any help I can find and really enjoying reading all the advice I can find on this drone. Big learning curve I know.

Welcome @RolandR from the far east. Mini Pros are fun, I’ve got the 3Pro and it’s fantastic little ship. Even though I’ve had mine about 3; years & even though I know it works I’m still in awe of how something so small can just piss off and do the things it does and comes back and lands next to you. You won’t regret buying it. Just go find somewhere to fly it, just for the sake of flying it.
Everything you will ever need to know is on this forum…
