[@pdtech4524]

Good advise! The main ones for me- Flying over water, I've overcome this just by having faith in my drone. Disorientation of my drone, just by learning the app and the different map views and again having faith in the drone and it's capabilities. Understanding RTH fully and the app settings that might affect that, also remember you still have control of your drone even though you may have lost FPV, this catches out quite a few new pilots.

[@nobby-green]

Having faith in the equipment is vital and reassuring. Thanks some good points🙏

Dji mini pro 4 is, excellent for drone nerves, if you get a mid flight panic just let go of joy sticks and it will float static until you gather yourself and gain composure, it's not going anywhere! If you're still flapping just hit the RTH button, and the relief of the drone humming home works wonders and will give you confidence for your next flight. Pro 4 is very forgiving with all it's high tech saftey firmware, you literally can't go wrong. Good luck.

[@nobby-green]

@@GreatBarrWolf yep the mini 4 pro is a great drone 👍 thanks 🙏

Good tips! Informing people about my droning was a big win at one occasion. The take off, and landing spot was terrible, surrounded by fast growing weed. One day I spotted a car on the property of a nearby house. It turned out the owner was the church, using it for youth activities now and then. The person then told I could use their huge balkony, on the other side of the house! Perfect! Close to the lake, giving the drone a range of some 2 miles, hunting trains. Informing other people I met a drone flying guy! He told his closest neighbour was abroad and the other property was left empy. Now I can buzz around their properties without fear of annoying anyone. Doing flights just to check up hills, the height of masts and chimneys have made the sharp flight much safer. Just go on practising combining camera tilt, angle, forward combined with sideway and height....

[@nobby-green]

Great stuff. A great test area it seems 👍

[@Stefan_Boerjesson]

@@nobby-green You found my channel I think.

[@djivideos7247]

Ive found some useful info about power lines . National Grid's UK pylons are a minimum height of 118ft (36m), while the tallest are 623ft tall (190m), crossing the River Thames between Essex and Kent.

[@nobby-green]

Interesting 🤨

[@R.EGrantham]

The VLOS law is based on the presumption that the pilot has ready access to flat open areas, and indeed, if you watch any drone channel you will see the area in which the operator lives provides that. But some of us live in very intensly hilly places with lots of trees thus restricting line of sight for any flight to a matter of meters. Even though the area is safe from aerial traffic or obstacles , is remote, and there is practically no danger if you are using fixed waypoints based on topography to ensure the drone is at a safe height, you are placed in an impossible position to keep to the law.

[@nobby-green]

Very true 👍

[@R.EGrantham]

@@nobby-green Nobby, could you do a video about the comparative advantages or disadvantages of using a DJI remote with a screen as opposed to using a remote with your smartphone attached? No one seems have done one so far. Would be most grateful. Thanks :)

@@nobby-green 💯I just have 40 days till the new regulations kick in, especially for the big drone. Luckily I already have a a A2 license and UK documents.

[@dronesdeep]

Faith in the drone was one of the biggest fears for me. Having belief in the tech is a big step forward to building confidence. IMHO.

[@nobby-green]

Totally agree 👍 thanks 🙏

[@xxphactor]

My courage check was flying over water. My next courage check is to fly over a bridge of traffic. Having faith in the equipment is a great point. Originally, my MP2 kept giving me error messages in the air, sometimes it wouldn't fly, or just drop out of the air (happened twice luckily, I was flying in a field with very high grass). Once I got the Mavic 3, it was so easy and comfortable to fly that it made me relax a little more. Don't get me wrong, I'm still a scary flier, but that's a good thing because a drone is not a toy.

[@nobby-green]

Totally agree. I think we all get anxious from time to time especially when you think you have a couple of thousand pounds/dollars in the air 👍

[@Mimer6]

IF you fly near large steel structures or power lines, you may get an error because the magnetic field shifts there and is not stable. If you fly a drone with 2 GPS antennas (e.g. Matric 30), you don't have that problem because then the drone doesn't care about the magnetic field.

[@TrueFisp112]

Thanks again for a professionally made and informative video! I must get out and fly the M3P more, thats the main take home message for me to decrease drone anxiety...

[@nobby-green]

Thanks and you're welcome 🙏 the more you fly the more confident you will get.

[@Lightmode0]

Awesome video! Thanks for helping me out! I will say for people getting into this fun hobby DONT BUY CRAPPY GEAR!!!! Look, I know brands like DJI can be super expensive to most of us normal people, I understand if you cant afford a DJI drone and I hope you find a good budget one. However, if you can stretch out and buy a reliable DJI drone, do it. The reason why DJI is so popular is because you can really have faith in your gear, trust that you wont chop fingers off, and importantly, your drone wont get lost or get mad and fly away, it will return back to you safely. Personally, I have bought some cheap drones, and yes, I have badly hurt my poor thumbs, but spending the cash on unreliable gear just makes it harder to fly safely, and with confidence. I hope this advice can help even just 1 person, be sure to remain on the lookout for a used Mavic mini at least. Have a wonderful day, stay safe and healthy, and happy flying!

[@nobby-green]

Thank you 🙏 glad you found it useful. I’ve always said buy cheap buy twice 👍

My biggest issue is trying to fly my drone around our apartment complex. I worry people think I'm trying to look through their windows but the truth is I'm only trying to hone my skills flying in an area where there is no apartments.

[@ptaylor5014]

I have been flying for nearly a year now with my Mini 2, but i still fear flying over water because if it comes down, its gone but on land atleast its more retrievable, i trust my drone 100% but what i don't trust is pesky seagulls or other birds who sometimes take aggressive action against my poor little drone, i always make sure before i take off there are no birds about but on the odd occasion they just appear out of nowhere, this can be any location at any time of the day, so i guess really my biggest fear is a bird taking my drone down-especially over water!

[@nobby-green]

Yes indeed. Bird attacks are pretty scary. Best solution if they get close is to fly straight up. Birds can’t do that 👍 flick into sports mode and straight up

[@Mimer6]

The purpose of VLOS is often misunderstood. It's a safety measure so you don't collide with anything. So you shouldn't stare at the drone all the time unless you want to see what's going on around you. That's why you should have a spotter if you fly with FPV glasses, because you can't keep control of the horizon all around in that case. If there is a helicopter, you must go down immediately where you are and land because you have a right of way obligation to everything. So sitting in a car is perhaps not such a good idea when you have to have an overview of the whole environment.

[@nobby-green]

Flying from a car is fine so long as you can see the drone ☺️

[@paulthurston2883]

I used to suffer this when flying RC planes. It's like a reversed sense of vertigo. I'd look up at the plane and my legs would turn to jelly and I'd get dizzy, almost to the point where I'd collapse. I had to give up flying RC due to this phobia.

[@nobby-green]

@@paulthurston2883 I think the difference here is that you have to constantly fly rc fixed wing whereas with a drone it will hover if you let go of the sticks. Giving time to recompose 👍

@@paulthurston2883 That is quite common with flying RC planes because you are constantly flying, whereas with drones you can let go of the sticks and it will hover giving time to recompose.
