Another rookie

[synaesthesia]

Hi from the UK

I have been lurking here for a week and figured I'd actually say hello. I'm Gaz and I'm from Nottingham in the United Kingdom. I'm new to drones, model aircraft and well, remote controlling of anything like this. I have been pondering the purchase of a drone for quite a while but figured I wanted something with range, battery life and a decent camera (don't we all) but not wanting to spend loads of cash on something that I felt I'd put in a tree on its first flight.

Anyway the other day I impulse bought a DJI Mavic Air (which has arrived and been flown), I am very happy with it so far, it does everything I expected it to be able to do and more. I'm looking forward to the longer days with more sunlight arriving so I can spend more time in the air and hopefully get good at flying and maybe even collect some decent pictures along the way?

Cheers

Gaz
