[@lifeafter50withmanx]

Thank you ☺

[@pdtech4524]

Brilliant! You're getting the hang of it now. 👍

[@lifeafter50withmanx]

Getting better thank you....back at work now and already looking for places to fly 🤣

[@requiem3160]

Looks like lots of fun! Drones are always super cool and fun to play around with! The views are absolutely incredible! Have a wonderful blessed week Manx and take care!

[@lifeafter50withmanx]

Thank you. Oh yes...I'm definitely addicted. Good excuse to get out more now 😂

[@g7rta40]

Great view! Glad you’re getting the hang of it 😀 Make sure the take off point looks a little different (stands out) from the surrounding area.. like sit the drone on a paving stone..or large flat rock..etc. Then take the drone up to about 15-20 feet above the take off point and sit there for a few seconds. You’ll be amazed at how accurate the return to home will be. A landing pad is even better for this. I find that the mini 4 pro will usually land within an inch or two from where it took off from! & even facing the same direction as it took off from! By the way.. you need to label your drone with your oporator ID if you haven’t yet done so 😉 Cheers, Steve.

[@lifeafter50withmanx]

Hi Steve. Yes I'm all labelled up now thank you. Good point with the contrasting surrounding....landing pad.....hmmmm......good idea especially with the darn wires connected to the house. Lots of fab advice thank you 😁

[@philipmaude]

love your videos just found ur channel. Same here 58 and just got the mini pro 4, I am on the South Downs and wow

[@anthonykenny1120]

Hi watch them over head cables in your yard, good flying

[@lifeafter50withmanx]

They are a pain which is why I'm always watching as my drone lands to ensure it doesn't hit them 🙂

[@cibonthesaint8903]

Isn’t it a blast?

[@lifeafter50withmanx]

absolutely!

[@kmac499]

Got my mini 4 last Sat. (Had a mini 2 for three years) just waiting for the wind to die down a touch before playing with active track etc..

[@lifeafter50withmanx]

You'll definitely love mini 4, you'll be good at flying already 😀

[@philipmaude]

press pause button if ever worried

[@Piratepoilet]

It's just magic isn't it 🏴‍☠️🚁

[@lifeafter50withmanx]

It most certainly is 😁

[@iandrones]

Nice! Learning quickly! Fyi only make sure you have at least 12-16 satellites before take off it will have a more accurate takeoff and RTH let it hovver to for a few seconds as the sensors underneath the drone remember the grounds for an even more accurate RTH. You will soon be doing hyperlapse and master shots 👌

[@iandrones]

Obviously, the controller must say home point updated and I believe its does this when it gets 10ish sattalies. Ps I know that area really well donny hospital in the back ground 👍

[@MSM101]

Some really nice shots there, keep up the good work. It's a legal requirement to have Visual Line of Sight (VLOS) of your drone at all times, and an offence if you don't... just saying.

[@technodrone313]

took me months to get confidence. try flying over a big body of water.

[@lifeafter50withmanx]

That is the aim one day...when I feel I can let go 😂

[@shaunthedrone]

Well done, the more you fly, better you will become - enjoy

[@lifeafter50withmanx]

Thank you. Yes most definitely. Getting used to flying high and enjoying the view on the screen now 😁 Had a couple of weak signal moments, RTH button pressed 🤣
