New pilot.... Old dog.

[empennage]

I just ordered my first drone and with knowledgeable friends chose the Mavic mini. Really excited about new venture at sixty-four tommorow...Yes a selfie present.
A great deal to know and excellent resources available. Living in Thailand, I have plenty of options from cheap to expensive. Chose well! Looking forward to sharing...

Any advice for camera filters? I am looking at combination ND/PL for the mini.

The frame rate says 30 fps, but it's really 29. xx I don't remember the exact numbers. So it might be a round up, round down thing.
As for filters, I like PolarPro.

Welcome dude

I haven't tried them personally but from the YT vids I've seen, they make a big difference. Usual combo packs consist of 4/8/16/32, the higher number relating to the sunnier it is, so guess you'd be looking at them (assuming Thailand is sunnier than the UK!!!)

Absolutely. Wide variations of sunlight.
I'm looking exactly at that package combination ND/PL....

It is my pleasure to be part of the group.
Here in Thailand a drone can weigh up to two kilos without registration. This means I can add accessories and still be legal. I am a neophyte but learn quickly. Thinking about anti-paddle prop hubs for mini and really can't get a good definition of what that means...stabilizer? Hood for camera to possibly protect gimbal in flight and control lighting. What say yee?
