    Training course or just get out there?

    Thanks and good luck with the next one(s). About 10 years ago I had a brief go on a drone (with only about an 8 minute flight time). I do not regard myself as inept (normally) but when it became a bit difficult to tell which way the drone was facing I got into a right mess! Maybe that’s an...

    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?

    Thanks for the response. I did recheck and you are right that they make no mention of flying over their land. However, other national parks (eg New Forest) do say you need permission to fly over their land, which - like you - I understood to be untrue.

    Hello! I am new to this forum and I am looking for some advice and opinions from experienced UK flyers. I have been thinking about buying the Mini 3 Pro to take pictures of pretty and/or dramatic places in the UK. I do not yet own a drone (although I used one with a very short flight time for...
