Pelham, NH here. I've built a few quads from selected parts and had fun with them, sure. But just bought a Mavic Mini and have seen what a modern system can really do - never looking back!
Dublin here. Bought a mini 2 last year but the wind this past year kept me from flying much. Just ordered an Air 2s.
I agree that, at least here in SW NH, the locals are pretty calm about drones - more curious than anything. And we have lots of great spots to fly and photograph.
