Multirotor, multicopter and quadcopter discussion - The Drone thread

Gifted a Mini 3 for my 40th. Finally had a chance to quickly test drive last night. It was a touch windy and dark, eventually took off but the wind started edging it towards my fence, my wife gripping me thinking she was going to get cut and me desperately trying to get it to land before it hit the fence.

Think I'll wait until the weekend and go to the park nearby. Do DJI users here get DJI Care?
 
Yeah, first flight was definitely a blip. Had another go - it's fricking awesome. I was still quite tame with it but much better at controlling it, the video quality is excellent. As a keen photographer, this gives me lots of options.

Took the 2 year insurance out. £85 for 2 years didn't seem too bad.
 
I bought a mini 4 Pro some days ago :D

Supposed to be 50mph gusts for the next few days so seemed the last chance to fly it.

Really boring and pointless video, almost hit a lamp post right at 0:19 seconds after take off :D
I bought 1 year DJI care though so...
realised I was filming myself at 2:56 :o
I seem to have pressed to stop recording by accident early on :/

Strobes surprisingly visible even from the ground

I remembered with my PSU came 2 canvas bags, one with a pull string for the cables and the PSU in the other
perfect sizes for the drone and the remote


BTW the black/white patches added on the camera view, is that the over exposure warning highlighting parts of the image?

I remember once, I forgot about some nearby pylons and by pure chance I ended up flying between the wires. I only realised when I saw some black lines suddenly growing on my screen and disappearing, before looking up and seeing the pylons. :o

The weather hasn't exactly been great for flying. It's either been too dark, wet or windy at this time month for me to fly. :(

How are those that bought the Neo getting on with it.

I've got my finger hovering over buy it now and think it would be a good addition to the Phantom and Mini 2se.

Recently bought one for £109 after buying a new mini 4 pro with rc2 on offer for around £550, used the RC2 with both and actually enjoy the neo, at the price point i'm not even bothered if it flies away or crashes etc :) I was pleasantly surprised with with the video quality obviously its not going to be as good as the 4. Off to the lakes for new year and going to go on a few rides on the m/b so going to try the neo on full auto mode (weather permitting)

Bought tonight after watching a few reviews and knowing I would not be that upset if it went 'Back of Beyond' for that price.
Got mostly for the trails on the MTB and when we visit some area's during our little breaks, with it being idea as a palm to launch, without any fuss.
