New to drones

Vleis2900 · Feb 14, 2025

Good evening everyone!

I just bought my first drone (mini 4k) and I'm waiting for it to delivered!

Do you guys have any advice for a rookie flyer? Also does anyone know any cool spots to fly in and around gillespie county TX?

Welcome! For someone new to drones, I would recommend the DJI Care Refresh package. It's like insurance if you were to crash your drone and becomes inoperable. You can get it replaced for a minimal fee.

Thanks for the tip! I'll definitely get that.

I don't use this software but have read about it in the forums as a good pruduct.

There's a free version to try before you buy, if needed.

DaVinci Resolve 19 | Blackmagic Design

Professional video editing, color correction, visual effects and audio post production all in a single application. Free and paid versions for Mac, Windows and Linux.

Good luck.
