True, but I'm a born optimist haha!

Ah well...I'll chalk it up to experience this time round. I'd rather have the cover than not too... something tells me I'll have my "Nnooooooooooooooooooooo!" moment at some point!

And it just arrived! Now I've got the frustrating wait until xmas as I'm not allowed it until then ?

yeah, seems Jessops are making a few quid extra on that on the sly! I would have got it from DJI, but the small-print said you have to buy it with a drone - it can't be bought on its own?

Crikey - just looking at the link (useful as I'm considering getting some for my Mini 2 which is on order - first ever drone, so protection is appealing!) they have a big impact on flight time - the link says max 18 mins with the guards on. Is that just the extra weight or the aerodynamics too?

Is that your first drone, or just the first flight with the Mini 2? If that's your first drone then a big hats-off to you as I don't think I'll be brave enough to fly mine like that when it arrives...almost close enough to blow the snowflakes off the trees! ? Beautiful winter scenery - wish it...

I ordered a Mini 2 combo bundle just over a week ago from Drones Direct (my own xmas present!) and all seemed fine - it was showing as in stock and I was given the choice of which day I wanted it delivered, etc, etc, but then a couple of days ago I got an email saying they now couldn't deliver...

Bit annoying when you order it all and the vendor confirms the order and asks you which day you want it delivered on...only to email you two days before that date to say it'll be a bit late...11th January!! Had to cancel it all and re-order elsewhere! And the DJI insurance cost me £25 more as a...

That's useful stuff, thanks!

That's it - its a done-deal...the order is placed! Now I just have to hope I don't fly it straight through the windscreen of a Bugatti Veyron owned by the world's best personal litigation lawyer on day one. :eek:?

Crikey - there's a lot to think about! Thanks.

Hugely reassuring! I'll be taking out the insurance nonetheless... ?

Well, I'm just about to hit the button on purchasing a Mini 2 (fly more pack)... my first ever drone. It's part of the annual ritual which involves my wife asking me what I want for Christmas, me telling her, and her then asking me to get it as she doesn't know a. what it is, b. where to get it...
