Hiya all,
As my nickname states, I'm from Holland (I did see some others from my country too
)and never had the experience to fly a drone before. After months of research and watching video's I was sure to get a drone.
First I was thinking about a cheap one to try it out, but in my search all of the cheaper drone's was missing something. But eventually I came out on a DJI Spark, but once I saw the little drone in realise I started to doubt again (it gets windy here in the flat country lands). Finally after see the Mavic Air I was sure, this will be the one, a nice black Mavic Air with the Fly More combo pack.
The first flight was scary, even after double check - read - see multiple instructions (video's). On a open field with the propeller-guards on I was ready to go. I was very surprised with the easy handling and controls of the Mavic Air! Never thought that drone flying could be that easy and so much fun!
After two days of flying multiple batteries totally empty, I was ready to remove the guards. Without the guards the Mavic Air steers zo much smoother, unbelievable. I'm glad that I made the decision for the more expensive Mavic Air, it's really stable even with more wind, I love the features on it and it's compact enough to take it with me on motorcycle trips.
I only have some stubble with the camera settings, can't get it right and to much light in the images. I see something about ND filters but really don't know which ones are best to use.
