Still can't over how small it is, yet able to produce steady video in the breeze. Barely bigger than my normal camera, and lighter. Modern technology just blows me away.

Oh farking great!! A nice walk in the Lakes near me and you hear the drone of a drone overhead. There was someone in our village who got one a couple of years ago. Never found out who they were but we could hear it overhead a lot then later on it was flying over the promenade every night. Then it just stopped. I suspect someone took offence and the owner got discouraged from using it by someone!! ^_^

I am sorry but as fun as they are for their users, they are often seen as annoying to those who are not using them. I seriously hope the OP does not get one but that is just my POV. I would prefer them to be restricted and even a kind of filming licence needed to use one along with a flying licence. I am so against them!! But I do admit I see the pleasuree to be had from using one.

That looks impressive for the price. I am temped enough to have added one to my Amazon Wish list ;)

The whole caboodle is impressive, both the gear and the app. At the moment I'm just doing really really basic stuff, and the app has so far worked flawlessly, not letting me do anything without everything being connected properly, and wouldn't launch the drone until I'd moved it away from some blades of grass.... there's an auto take-off button that gets it about 1m off the ground, and an auto return that returns it to where it took off from, within inches (you can specify a 'safe return altitude' that will take it to that height from wherever it is, get it back dead over the launch spot, then bring it down vertically).

I think I'm going to go via some nice big fields by the Exe upstream on my way into a hospital appointment tomorrow, as I need to be nice and relaxed so my heart isn't jumping around too much for a CT scan. (Obviously I'm riding in, but very gently!)

Wishing you well for tomorrow. Hopefully you won't need any invasive treatment or any treatment at all.
