For its ease of set up and doing things like this so effortlessly

This is the camp site we are on at the moment

Ah you've cracked the pre-programmed shots then.  Very nice

NICE camp site, and video, thank you for sharing.  

Marvelous footage, Bigplumbs! Thanks for sharing this with us. Happy flying always.

Yup as I said one of the reasons I love this drone. Why do it yourself when it will do it for you
Interesting thing again was it would not focus on the caravan I had to chose the car. Caravan was too white me thinks

I already do not love it. When I try to buy it without the remote, since I already have three, I am told it is only available for pre-order only! How is that possible? I want the drone only. Another shady attempt by DJI.

How do you anchor a tent on what maybe a hard standing?

It is gravel with hogging material below specially designed to drain water and allow pegs to be put though it. This is the Lake District in the U.K. and gets a lot of rain

One of the best things about this drone is having the DJI RC. I have 5 cars and I have a steering wheel in each one for convenience.

If you have not got the drone and of course tried it not quite sure how you can not like it. Get the one with the DJI RC and you will love it

It has been possible to buy drone-only in the UK (Heliguy)  at £639 Sterling but they're sold out just now.
Seems to be a case of demand outstripping supply at the moment.
I got mine with the DJI RC.

That's strange. I would have thought would be easy to identify in a lanscape.
I've not tried mastershots yet.
Next sunny day.......

If you get near Hard Knot Pass a video might be interesting, I love that road lol.

I know odd. When you do your first master shot it gives you the willies as it shoots all over the place for about 2 mins doing its own thing. I keep my finger near the pause button. Make sure you are above the height of all stuff around you when you start.

After the sequence you download the file via quick transfer to you phone and there are many premixed sequences to chose from. You need internet acces though as it downloads stuff. I have a dedicated IPhone 8 256 GB to do all my editing on

I generally bring my footage home and work on it on the latop. I find it easier than fiddling about with a phone.

I used to do that then tried the phone and the DJI editor to my amazement I liked that better and I am no spring Chicken

I shall have to give it a go at some point, I suppose.  I'm not exactly a Luddite, but I am slow to move with the times

No you are not slow you have a mini 3 pro that is cutting edge…….. Did you ever think you would be Cutting edge

Ah, memories.  The wife is a Cumbrian lass. We've been over there a few times
Much nearer to Winnat's these days

Haha no.  The only Cutting Edge I get close to is the wife's tongue

Nice one.  

Very nice.

Bleriot, how did the dog like your tea? lol

Very nice to see!

Montfrooij Posted at 6-28 06:34
Very nice to see!

Thanks I love the master shots

Nice flying! Really love that drone too!

That looks like a nice spot to relax in. Nice

Sounds like you KNOW your Wife, wish I did mine

Pretty much everyone who has one is saying the same - we seem to be in agreement

I've known her for a long time
But a woman is an eternal mystery, you seem to agree

Bigplumbs Posted at 6-28 08:18
Thanks I love the master shots

You're welcome.
So far I never used them

Making that statement you have much wisdom!

Ridiculous since the steering wheels in cars are not easily swapped these days. Perhaps you are referring to cars in the 1920's?

Says the bloke who has not got the drone but claims he doesn't like it
