A word to the wise

[TimOB]

I keep patting myself on the back for buying a cheapish, small drone to learn on first. It made me a whole to more confident about flying the newer, more expensive Mavic Pro 2. It also helped me appreciate just how good these drones are . Clear skies and safe flying.

I started with an even cheaper Tello for the same reason and recently upgraded to a Mini.

Welcome aboard!

Welcome! I did the same with a $50 non-GPS 720P model. Lost it a few times, retrieved it out of trees, replaced broken props and guards - still flying it for fun. When I finally got some serious ones I had been suitably humbled and have gotten that invincibility out of my system. Enjoy your new drone. Next you need your Part 107!

Welcome from the Houston Texas area. I did something very similar. i cut my teeth on some Sky Vipers. I know i trashed a few but it was a cheap way to learn and gain confidence. Thinking back i had one land suddenly, in my pool, had one run away and have no idea where it ended up, had one that i lost control of fly very fast in the edge of a street sign, effectively cutting it in half. Now that i have all of that behind me i am enjoying my M1P's. good flying and be safe.

Yeah I started with an inexpensive one my wife got me. I got the Spark a year later and just added fur MA2. It’s good TJ get your feet wet before getting a top of the line drone. Happy flying

Hey there! I started with a $100 Holy Stone from Amazon and man I hated it. After a few short months of flying I updated to the Mav Mini and wow it’s significantly better to fly!
