Multirotor, multicopter and quadcopter discussion - The Drone thread

We recently purchased a DJI Mini Pro 4 and I'm delighted with it. We have added it as an option to the Level 2 and 3 Surveys we offer for Home Buyers Reports and it's had great feedback. So many people pay for surveys where your getting photos of the roofs from ground level which are a bit rubbish so to offer this and get the quality of the camera of the Mini Pro 4 has been a bit of a game changer. I've never had a drone before and only had a "play" with others in the past.

I've just read this back and it sounds like a product review on Amazon :D

Just from the point of having drones I have been asked by friends and family if I could fly over, film of take photo's of not only the roof, but also to capture the whole property.
Had a couple ask to do weddings, but have refused due to insurance and the like.

ps I added the laugh to your post after the Amazon review comment :cry:

We already had insurance so adding the extra for the coverage of the drone hasn't been a big thing I suppose.

I think if I had bought it from Amazon and would have been copying and pasting that! :D
 
First real outing with the M4P. Took a short film of one of the villas we stayed at with the Family in Portugal.

Portugal 2024 final 1

Not 100% happy with it.. One of the circling shots was obviously effected by the wind as it really slows down in a couple of places
 
My Mini 4 pro arrives today from Amazon.

However, lots of 1 star reviews past 14 days about the activation issues.

Anyone else seen these issues?
 
I need a filming drone, and have many questions.

First question, is it worth me building one, or just spending the wedge on something new? If so, any recommendations? Nothing too fancy, not looking to spend £lol on a hobby I might lose interest in.

Secondly, if building, how many channels will I need?

I'm sure I'll have many more questions but that's a starting point!
 
It arrived!

Took it 250m away. Went down to 3 bars of signal (I'm in an industrial estate)

Then it started to cry about wind.

So i flew it back and landed.

Need to wait for a calm day eh

Hey all - just picked up a Mini 3 Pro - what's the best ND or other filter set best to go for, and are there any decent, lightweight strobe lights out there

Cheers :)

Be careful about how many accessories you attach to your drone, or you could go over 250g, not to mention shorten your flight times.

All depends where you're filming. The easiest thing to do is pick up a DJI Mini (there are a few versions) which are all under 250g and you can fly pretty much anywhere. If you go any heavier than that, there are a lot of restrictions on where you can fly.
