    Newbie from Bromley any suggestions for flying here

    Hey Everyone, My name is Ishan and I currently live in Beckenham (in Bromley Council). I was thinking of buying myself a drone for quite a long time and now that I finally have one (just got delivered yesterday), I can't wait to take it out for a spin hoping that the weather will be favorable...

    First Flight!

    I just took my Mavic 3 Pro out for its (and my) maiden flight. It was great fun but there is much I need to learn to become proficient. As an experienced amateur photographer, I want to be able to use the drone's perspective to add a new dimension to my hobby. That and video too! I am impressed...

    Training course or just get out there?

    Hi all. I am still thinking about buying a drone. As I mentioned in my previous post I am looking at the Mini Pro 3. Is it worth doing a training course for such a drone (any good ones out there?), or are they so intuitive that it’s simple to just go and fly it somewhere? Thoughts?

    Hello there!

    Hey there, I’ve had some experience with cheap sport drones, but this weekend I bought a Mavic Air 2 off of a buddy. That night I registered and got my recreation taken care of and I’ve gone on a few initial flights so far. Man, what a difference it is flying a quality quad vs the cheap POSs...

    Hello from Oakland Park FL

    Recently acquired my first aircraft- Mini 2. On my first flight (2 days ago), I broke one of the propellers. I guessed sometimes you have to learn it the hard way. Anyway, hello from Oakland Park, FL. Any local who wanna teach a newbie, you’re most welcome.

    Ambitious manual shots from Ireland

    Trying out my new Mavic Mini 2, I got a little ambituous with some of the continuous shots in this video (e.g. at 45 seconds & 17 seconds). I had about 4 hours flying time under my belt and I decided to get more adventurous with some of the shots. I don't know if I got lucky with some of these...

    Newbie looking to buy 1st Drone Advice- I am in Canada this week, but live in the US

    Hey all, My first post here, I'm excited to be a part of the forums. I am getting into drones for the main reason that I do Real Estate, and think it would help my business immensely. I will like to eventually get an Air2s, or the 3 when it comes out in the near future. For now, I am...

    First flight for a first time drone buyer (A2s)

    Well, after 3 years of being a lookie-loo, I purchased and received my first drone - an AIR 2s. My purchase was originally going to be the Mavic Air 2 but just as I was going to pull the trigger in early April I spotted the wind-up of the rumor mill regarding the A2s and decided to wait. Last...

    Air 2 Poland mountains Andrzejówka

    My second video. Getting a feel of Davinci Resolve but it is a stubborn little beast. Doesn't use GPU to decode and is crashing all the time. What do you think?

    Hello from Poland

    Hello from Poland. I just bought my first drone ever (DJI Mavic Air 2) and yesterday was my very first flight. Sadly there also was my very first crash (DO NOT FLY AT HOME!!!), but gladly nothing much happened. After that I went on a field with a lot of open space and begun flying. It was a lot...

    Another Newbie - from SO Oregon.

    What’s up everybody? Is everyone enjoying this holiday lockdown? Well I’m not! Been flying every day. Can anyone tell me if I can adjust the speed of my Mavic Air 2 in QuickShot? Mine is just sooo slow, it’s barely useable! I hope there is a solution, because I haven’t learned enough to...
