Well I did own one of those big styrofoam parrots a few years ago but by the time I figured out how to fly it I had crashed it so much that it would not fly straight ,,,,, besides that the camera resolution was so bad it was not worth flying for what I wanted or needed to use it for,
I need to use a drone in my business to inspect the tops of residential chimneys... and while recovering from some heath problems B&H photo got me with their promo for the Mavic Mini and I ordered one..... it came in and after spending a day going through the 'birthing pains' of set up with DJI's internet stuff... I took it out to see how it would do... next problem is it won't fly in my yard... too close to an airport (Blue Zone) no way to fix this..(?). until DJI comes up with a software update. (late Dec.) (I'LL BELIEVE IT WHEN I SEE IT) I can't quite understand why they would send these out with out the ability to register and program the Unit to bypass this....
But I did take it up the street out of the (Blue Zone) and get the drone to lift off and fly and was very impressed with it... and have flown it several times since and am still just amazed at how easy and well it flies and how good the video and pictures are from the camera.
As is obvious I'm new to this drone thing... (to stop some comments... I have passed the 107 test and have applied for the commercial license)
My question is .. it seems there are some simple ways to fly in the 'restricted zones' my sole goal is to be able to fly at a low altitude.. probably a maximum of 50ft above ground level.... can y'all veterans to this help me figure out how to do this simply?
