Hello all. Found this forum the other day when trying to get more information about being in compliance with OOP regulations. Been browsing for a few days, figured I'd say hi. Got my mini 4 pro at the beginning of the year as a way to film some of out Ireland trip before promptly figuring out that drone flying isn't allowed in a lot of locations there. Part 107 passed about 2 weeks ago at this point, still waiting for my official plastic card. At Some Point In The Near Future ™ I plan to get my PPL, but that'll happen when we have some of our debt paid down, so it's a pipe dream for now.
Prior to the Mini 4 pro I had a Spark, which is still sitting in my basement since the RID rules made it more difficult to fly, if allowed at all. Before that I had various toy drones since they've been more affordable. Started with some little 3" cat chasers I found in the bargain bin and moved up from there. Hoping to expand my skills and knowledge and potentially learn more about the photography side of things. Ultimately I'd love to be able to get something a big bigger/nicer in the Mavic range vs the mini range, but I need to up my skills for that. I like filming the various trips we take, though it makes following the rules a nightmare. Local regulations everywhere, and often I spend more time on my phone trying to decipher local laws than I do in the air, but thus is the life.
Wishing everyone a great day and safe flights.
