Hi. Newbie from Kernow. So new I dont even have a drone. Looking for suggestions on a drone for general use under 250 g. I do travel abroad alot and realise I have missed amazing opportunities to get some decent views of places from above. Am going to Corfu in August. Anyone got any tips as to what certs or documents I will need to legally fly in their airspace. I would like some footage of Corfu old town and the coastline. Cheers in advance. ---

Hi @Typhoontoday and welcome Check out this thread > [@Corfu - Drone flying?](https://greyarro.ws/t/corfu-drone-flying/12394/1): > > Possible Hols to Corfu. Am I right in assuming (I know as Drone users we should never assume), that I can fly in a CTR (Control Zone) as long as I keep below 400ft? I ask, as I am planning a trip to Corfu this July, taking my drone (my wife is coming as well), and I see that it’s pretty good for drone flying. We will be staying in San Stefanos, located in the North West corner of the island, which according to the [DAGR website](https://dagr.hcaa.gr/#map_page) has the usual NFZ etc, but it has a large CRT that cuts into parts… ---

I recently joined. Looking at the map I do not see any airspace avoidance or restricted airspace. I can see where members live. Am I doing something wrong please? ---

Welcome 👋 @Typhoontoday Imho - DJI mini 4 pro if in budget, or DJI flip is cheaper with decent camera - although different opinions on that drone, or even DJI neo if camera is good enough for you. Wind tolerance lower on the last 2 but plenty of youtube videos for reviews/comparisons ---

Amazon are doing a deal atm for the DJI mini 4K with 2 batteries at £279 so may be worth a look thats what I got only issue is no collision detection but that just means you need to learn how to fly better so for me as a newbie thats a good thing! [DJI mini 4k 62 min fly time](https://www.amazon.co.uk/DJI-Stabilization-Transmission-Batteries-QuickShots/dp/B0F4WZ3Q2J/ref=sr_1_4?tag=gadc0e-21) ---

Welcome to GADC, I’m not particularly experienced at the moment, but loving my Mini 3 Pro, some good second hand deals around, I also have a Neo which is great fun, camera is not as good as the Mini, but good enough if you pick your shots. ---
