New to the drone world and to this forum - SW London

Hi all,

I’m very new to the drone hobby world. I have always loved technology, photography, motorcycling and traveling. I have recently completed a tour around Wales, so all of the mentioned passions were taken all at once!

Edited a few videos of my adventure with my Dji Mini 3 pro. I still have a lot to learn and master, the videos and movements are not as smooth as I would like but with training and more adventures, I will get there!

Glad to be in this forum as I have learned quite a lot from the various topics.

Hi Hugo @Meteoro_ve :wave:t2:

Where in the world are you based? :thinking:

Excellent hobbies :clap:t2:

You can dial the sensitivity of the sticks out a bit which will help, or as you suggest, so will time and practice :slight_smile:

Welcome to GADC :smiley:

Thanks @Onanist

Hi @OzoneVibe

Hi @PingSpike

I live in South West London (Colliers Wood). After a bit of research and playing around with the drone I have now changed the sensitivity of the sticks and speed/brake. Just need to add more flying hours to feel more confident, thanks for the advice and the welcoming.

Small world, I was born and raised next door in Wimbledon. I’m bit of a northerner now though :blush:

Your hobbies are similar to mine. I like travel, motorcycling and photography. I like it when all three come together - I have travelled Route 66 across America by bike, and crossed the Himalayas by bike, taking photographs along the way as you might expect. I am about to buy a DJI Mini 3 Pro and get used to it before a holiday in Cornwall later this year. I have also dabbled with 360 degree photography and plan to extend that to 360 degree videography of bike trips.

Hi Hugo - welcome to GADC :+1: :+1: :+1:

As already suggested, adjusting the stick sensitivity will help a lot - have a look at Ian’s video here …

Thanks, watched the video and subscribed!

Thanks Mick, saw your comment on YT, subscribed too!

Hi David

There are very interesting hobbies for sure. We are very lucky to be able to combine them all together. Oh, route 66 and Himalayas are on my bucket list, along with sooooo many others!
Although, I have only had the Mini 3 Pro for about one month, I find it very capable and the quality of the video and photography are amazing. Good luck with the 360 project!

We live in such a small world… haha
