Drones.. DJI Spark.

[stuss]

That looks very professional mate keep us updated with your new toy.
I have taken some model aircraft home in bin bags it’s not the best feeling in the world is it. 😢

I spent months building a helicopter
It came home in a bin bag..I was so annoyed and sick, I never built another.
I got into flying kites. 15 years on I decided on a small safe drone ( DJI)
Then have progressed with experience. I flew the mavic 2 pro.
its allegedly one of the smartest drones you can buy. I bought the mavic pro, Reason being the Mavic 2 is not to dissimilar to the pro. Battery life is better, but not worth extra £400 . The camera on the pro 2. Is very special
Hasselblad.

Thanks very much, I really enjoy the peace & open air, I use Polarpro nd filters, so makes footage look better, it's when I uploaded the quality drops .
Yes east coast is grim in winter.
Hopefully the weather stays well for you next week. Simulators are really good to practice, I use one and still learning now.

Only got a entry level 1 (hubsan x4) battery life is 10 mins max but I’m just testing the water and to be honest if your only 10-15 mins with the more expensive ones I think I will stick with this.

On the mavic pro. I get about 25minutes. @ 10mph
Dji spark the battery life was 13 minutes, in sport. If you enjoy the hobby, you can rent a drone for a weekend, depending on skill levels. You could save a fortune

Looking good mate, have you flown over that village before? I kinda recognise a few things.

Hello mate,
It's on my door step, I just wanted to try some new filters.
You were 100% correct when you mentioned plotting courses, waypoints, many months ago. Tomorrow i am venturing to an old abbey ruins, all sensors turned off ..
( I have my bin bag ready)

 

[wheelo]

Best of luck, fingers crossed!

Have been enjoying following this thread for some time, and finally thought that I'd pen a few lines here.
I am perhaps something of a late-comer to the whole 'drone thing', but I have to say it is something that is just such huge fun....... messing about with a flying machine; what's not to like.
Oddly enough, digital photography is also something that had (until I got a drone) completely passed me by too, but getting a drone has found me launching headlong into that. Personally I am not particularly fussed about video, but capturing landscapes and seascapes is something that I particularly enjoy.
Have recently been trying to teach myself how to stitch together panorama's too.......This one is clearly needs some further post-production work, but I was quite happy with it as a first effort.

Good drone. And really durable, battery life is only concerns.
They also hold their value for resale. .

That's a nice photo mate, what part of the world are you in?

I must admit that I don't really have any frame of reference with which to compare. It's my first (and only) drone which I recently received as an unexpected and most welcome gift, but I can see it all becoming something of a life-style-hobby....... I get typically get about 17/18 minutes out of a battery and have three batteries available. It helps to plan a photo-taking sortie before setting out in order to maximise available time in the air, and once I have the shots 'in the can', I can take all the time I like back at home once they are transferred to my laptop.

That was taken at a place called Warsash in Hampshire, England. The villiage on the opposite bank is Hamble-Le-Rice, and the view is looking more or less northwards up the River Hamble estuary. It is a compound 21 individual pictures all stitched together to make a panorama.

Here's a view looking to the South from the same spot
