I bought a Platinum and love it. Quick story... B4 flying my Plat I decided to buy a cheap cheap Drone X just to see if I liked it. I ended up buying 3, buy 2 get one free thing. Anyway, I went out with my first one and was excited, anxious, and fired that baby up and took off. Well I then got confused and it took off, and off, and off LOL. I just watched it float off into oblivion. Oddly enough it was still a blast. My Platinum was on its way. Then I thought what if I did the same thing. So I bought a Mini just in case I lost it it would be $500.00 vs $1200.00 down the tube. I love them both. But read the instructions closely and and learn flight before just making the mistake I did. You will have a blast.

Haha,,,,set your loss of Signal to RTH I have learned and always check that setting before flying.
My Platinum just bit my leg and thumb and drew blood cause it drifted on me when I didn't calibrate the compass and IMU, not to mention was too close obviously. Little sharp knives woofwoof . But all pilot errors on my part.

Welcome to you from the wide-open spaces of Texas!

The MA2 is a fabulous machine for the beginner and the pro alike.

There are over 100,000 others of us from around the world are here to help you gain skill as a pilot and photographer.

Be sure to read the manual! Be sure you practice lost drone recovery (you will crash, and you will lose your MA2). Just be sure you know how to retrieve it!

Glad to have you with us!
