This will be my first drone so not sure what to buy or if I will get on with one so they maybe a little expensive for meDJI mavic pro or mavic air. It’s the proper kit and well worth the investment if you really are interested.
This is exactly what I would say, DJI certainly costs more but you get what you pay for and you get an amazing bit of kit. If you buy a piece of cheap junk you will find that it is hard to fly and causes you all sorts of grief which will lead to you knocking it in the head. I was uncertain too but took the gamble on the best that I could afford and it’s been a well worth while investment.Get the Mavic Air 2, and if you don’t like it just sell it on. You’ll have a better chance of success with it and lose less than buying a crap one in the first place.
It’s a brilliant bit of kit. Super easy to fly, keeps itself out of trouble and takes amazing pictures and video. You really can’t go wrong.
Thanks for thatYou need to sit down and read and understand the drone code of practice, as the Mavic air weighs 350gms it will need to be registered for use. This is really straightforward as already mentioned and costs very little. You will take an online multiple choice test on the drone code and if you pass will be given a number which you must display on the drone. You will also get a number for yourself as an operator which doesn’t need to be displayed. After that find a wide open space with no power lines, stick it in beginners mode and learn to walk before you start running. It becomes really addictive very quickly but the feeling of watching £1000 romping off into the trees because you haven’t learned I how to control it is quite nauseating. Take small steps and just learn to control it whilst looking at it. Once you’ve mastered that start to play around with it and just do a bit at a time and you will be proficient in no time at all. Do yourself a favour and if you use your phone as the screen put it in airplane mode before you do anything with the drone. There’s nothing better than using your screen for some technical between the trees stuff and your missus rings to ask what you want for tea.
I’m thinking about a drone but not sure what to get tbh, I want one that can follow you
Which do u lot recommend and any for sale

Done the drone test, do I just need to print the op Id and stick it to the drone now
You can certainly do that or write it on with paint, I found the easiest was to go to ebay. There are several chaps that do drone registration numbers ready to stick on.
