Yep I saw a great video on Youtube about someone coming to the Netherlands (Amsterdam) and flying in the middle of the city making great films but 100% illegal as he was flying near an airport, over people and over roads and getting up very close to boats full of people and buildings. He then...

Have a look on Wrap Grade in Japan they have little to no gaps. I am leaning towards a mean green kawaski colored one so saw a Rad Bull (not red bull) design from a company in the UK which looks like the Red bull theme ;-)

Aliexpress have loads ;-) I ordered some for my mini. its a 4 leg cradle that sits on the bottom of the case and if they are rubbish no worry they didnt cost much at all.

Here in the Netherlands we have natura 2000 areas (nature areas) which just got added to the no fly zone map but its causing an uproar as the nature parks are owned by various companies, municipals or such yet they don't own the air space. If the park wardens catch you they threaten you with...

I believe the max range I have seen on youtube was 44200ft though I believe they followed it in a car ;-)

One of my biggest needs in a drone was small and easy to fit in my backpack with my canon 80d and tamron 150-600 and as these 2 items are heavy the drone needs to be small and light.

My mini flies in breezes. You can even see youtube films where they fly in 40 km/h winds with little to no issues. Also flimsy works as an advantage if you crash as it will bend and not snap. I sold my Phantom 3 SE and got a mini and love it. Basic = easier to fly without all the bells and bull...

What drone you got?

Hello there, Just sold my Phantom 3 SE and got a Mavic mini as the phantom don't fit in my backpack with my DSLR and 150-600mm lens ;-) Looking forward to getting to grips with the little guy and see what he or she can do. I am a nearly 57 year old dude living in the Netherlands. Started off...
