Cheers mate - will be heading out later for an evening sunset! Clocks went forward an hour here in UK so it will still be light at 7:30PM

I'm hoping to fly today as well. Shopping for a mac today as well.

Nice to see
Wish you a lot of good weather!

That is probably next on my list. Convinced the wife that we need a new 49" Sony Bravia 4K HDR TV which makes my vids pop LOL - now I need a newer MacBook Pro with Final Cut installed

Great shot! And finally we got more light in the evenings again!

Then the MP2...

Thanks Monty - thats yet to be seen in London but at least it's stopped raining with light winds, no snow and 10c. Good enough to fly!

Best time to fly is during a warm summer sun set

Sounds like it yes.

Today would be great here in NL too.

How are the drone laws developing there mate? Are the new EU drone regs going to be effective in the NL too - that will make it easier for you guys if so by the look of it.

I'm going with Pro show 7, its what I had on my pc before it gave out. I'll be on the lookout for more awesome pics.

As I will your great vids - that last one was fab mate! Are you still planning on getting the P4P or holding out for the MP2 and hoping it has a similar camera?

Not looking too good.
More strict law is now in place.
BUT, the official guidelines did not change yet.
So very misleading, but nice if you want to fly here.
You can still hide behind the loose rules....

The EU regulations do sound like an improvement,  so that is comforting.

I'll have to register my drone and sit a little test soon thanks to the morons flying their drones around Heathrow and Gatwick! Still, no bans which is cool.

I just might pick that up today as well. I passed my part 107 exam about 2 weeks ago. Who knows when the MP2 will or will not come out.

I would love to take a test and register my drone to be able to fly in more places.
But so far that is not allowed.

Not a word from DJI for sure. The P4P Obsidian looks very cool mate!

That is such a shame as the NL is a beautiful country. I've been to Amsterdam twice. What is causing the restrictions - politics?

Yes it does, am thinking early birthday gift

Do it mate! Get a couple of extra batteries with it and some ND's are you're set

Let me guess - quality MacBook Pro, P4P Obsidian with extras - five grand! Lot of cash mate but way cheaper than an Inspire 2 pro kit

Liability issues I think.
And privacy concerns.

I'm hoping for a little less. Wife gave me a limit. So extras may have to wait. Four grand I think I can come away smiling.

Fingers crossed that the situation improves for you guys sooner rather than later. Hopefully the new EU guidelines will help out

You have a kind wife
In that case, just get one extra battery - they are twice the price of the MP batteries but you'll need two mate.

They will help for sure.
Or they 'should'.

The positive is that the guidelines are still in place.
So we can always point to those.
But that is like a roulette.
Something will change, you only don't know when.

But right now my worries are more with our roof.
After a period of icy weather it started to leak.
We knew it needed to be repaired, but after close inspection decided it was better to replace 2 of them (flat roofs) completely.
It won't be cheap, but is better in the long run.

So I will have to wait for that bill.....
Before I can spend money on a toy

Yeah, the home is more important than a drone

Always best to get what you really want then do it up to your liking than settle for second best only to regret the decision.

Yes, it is really what we always wanted.
Nice detached 1931 home with a nice bit of garden and very good living space.
So I have to sacrifice on some of my planned gadgets

Sounds lovely mate - you can always get the drone later down the line.
