Hi from Tasmania

[vk7hch]

G'day everyone. I have had drones for quite a few years now, but always a few models behind the pack.
I started with a Parrot AR but got sick of that pretty quick, no decent run time and way too light for outdoors.
Then I went down the Phantom rabbit hole, Standard, Advanced, Professional.
Time passed, other interests took hold.
Now I have an older Mini 1 that I got for a good price. It is doing all that I want at the moment. Yes, there are shinier toys now, but for the moment at least I will stick with the Mini. Although the Mini 4Pro looks good with it's avoidance abilities.
My main use will be to help chronicle my Geocaching exploits, that is why one with the ability to not run into trees would be good. For now, I will just be careful.
Anyway, that is my quick bio, thanks for having me onboard.

Chris

Hi there from the U.K. and you are very welcome. I too started with a Parrot and after I had almost beheaded my best friend I popped it on a high shelf in the study and it’s been there ever since. At least it flipped!
