Hi, I’m Carmel. I’ve just bought a mini 4 pro. I am a photographer but a complete beginner when it comes to flying - never even used a games console. There’s a lot to learn. I was so pleased to find the Ian in London videos. Before that, the DJI starter video I found had chinese subtitles and it wasn’t obvious how to even turn the thing on. I couldn’t believe I had to resort to asking google!
Anyway I am now registered and all that; and am up to learning about the features on the controller. I just saw the fantastic photos on the order of merit page and now I am feeling excited to use it, rather than simply daunted!
Thanks for all the helpful info on this site.

Hi hope you have lots of fun with your new drone, and nessie does not eat it. If you ever get stuck either ask here or there is a lot of youtube stuff. Hopefully when you get comfortable and weather gets back to a more summer conditon you might be able to get some whales etc. But all the best

Hi Carmel,

Yes there are a few girls who fly, some very good pilots and videographers, hope to see some of your work soon…

We hope to move to Scotland in a few years, Invernesshire, Caithness, or Sutherland, but we usually visit 3 or so times a year…

I’m not far from Inverness. Maybe we’ll meet up in Scotland some time.

Quite possibly, we are off to Strathpfeffer with the MiL in June for a week, and hopefully to Tongue in April to see friends…

Lots of great places to fly in your area :slight_smile:
