I got a FREE Drone! - UK 🇬🇧 Nomads review

[@Dr-Sy]

I don't have a drone, never flown one and not that interested in them, But hey they look fun. So many things you could do with them as an example, If your lost in the middle of the woods, you could find an opening and send it up in the air to see from above where you are . I remember back in the day we would have people paragliding and taking photos of certain properties. They would then knock on the door of the owners house and sell them the Photos of their house from the sky (it payed big bucks) and was as a big thing back in the day, But today everyone got one. Happy hopping 3 of U 🙏🌼

[@loghoppers]

@Dr-Sy Cheers Cully, yeah... they had the market back then lol. Thank you always for your comments and kind support. HAPPY HOPPING 👌🏼 👍🏼

[@Dan23_7]

Your wife is bang on, I fly a DJI, my wife doesn’t see what all the fuss is about. I started off with a £40 drone that flew into a house and died 😂 I’m now flying a DJI and it’s unreal compared to my first one. Oh, don’t fly in between trees. You’re asking for trouble 😂

[@loghoppers]

@Dan23_7 Lol cheers 🤣😂 Think I'd like one like the pic, but yeah... having a look at those DJIs lol. HAPPY HOPPING 👌🏼 👍🏼

[@OutdoorSurvival-l2w]

Pritty good camera on tha fair play n stunning bit of woodland your in, thanx for sharing again guys

[@jeffhelmick8065]

As a user of cheaper end drones and mini whoops i fly my mini fpv outside alot and only really really strong winds effect it when it's in high-speed, also use a va 1000 antenna mod and fpv mod I must say man it has taken a dip in a lake for like a solid minute and a half camera on board exposed and all and still flies. Just wing it lol

[@loghoppers]

Niiiiice, will have to have a look at those things. They do look super cool, and I've seen them fly down waterfalls, vs video drones down waterfalls... I don't know, maybe one day I'll invest. If this one dies, I'll keep the component parts, might come in handy for a fpv mod in the end right? HAPPY HOPPING 👌🏼 👍🏼

LOL could tell Tara was having a blast she practically couldnt contain her excitement, Happy Daze.

[@loghoppers]

@biffa1234100 hahahahaha she thought she'd covered that well lol 😆 she's laughing her head off lmao. HAPPY HOPPING 👌🏼 👍🏼

[@V4victory2025]

Only just found you and already love you! Great channel you’re very informative, I have no idea what that Scat is from but whatever it is it’s not our normal wildlife I don’t think.

[@loghoppers]

@V4victory2025 Nice one 👍🏼 cheers. Neither do we lol. Cam going up soon, and we going to find whatever it is. Thanks again. HAPPY HOPPING 👌🏼 👍🏼

[@percyob1]

A brilliant addition to your toolkit, guys ;-)

[@loghoppers]

@@percyob1 Thanks Cully, wish it could be... but too big we think to carry with all our gear. HAPPY HOPPING 👌🏼 👍🏼

[@michaelball1887]

You done well for only the 2nd time flying it.👍😄😎

[@loghoppers]

Cheers. Thank you, HAPPY HOPPING 👌🏼 👍🏼

[@and3583]

I'm undroned myself. Looks like a fun thing, the ones I don't like are big military ones for blowing things up and the thought of Amazon using them to deliver yet more stuff in yet less time 😂

[@loghoppers]

@and3583 Yeah definitely, there is a place and time for them I suppose. They are fun, but a little impractical for us Nomads. HAPPY HOPPING 👌🏼 👍🏼

[@joshuamiller-pio4623]

DJI neo would probably be your best bet! can slap the goggles on on if you want to switch to FPV else use the controller for cinimatic shots

[@loghoppers]

@joshuamiller-pio4623 Nice, thank you for the advice, will definitely have a look. HAPPY HOPPING 👌🏼 👍🏼

[@OceansEleven-sd8wf]

Hi there. That drone looks like fun. I had one a year ago. But lost it in the fields. Anyway have fun. Keep warm. Cheers 🍻

[@loghoppers]

@@OceansEleven-sd8wf Thank you, always will. HAPPY HOPPING 👌🏼 👍🏼

[@loghoppers]

@@OceansEleven-sd8wf what drone did you have? HAPPY HOPPING 👌🏼 👍🏼

[@OceansEleven-sd8wf]

@ it was a husban h501 from the model shop in Northampton

[@loghoppers]

@OceansEleven-sd8wf 450g in weight that thing at a quick glance on Google... that's a hefty drone aye. HAPPY HOPPING 👌🏼 👍🏼

[@phtumshk]

Job for a laccy band keep your screen from folding, nice one!

[@loghoppers]

@@phtumshk makes sense, but elastic degrades in the weather quite quickly. HAPPY HOPPING 👌🏼 👍🏼

[@tftv1987]

Just abit of info as a drone operator myself you must pass online training and be issued a flyer id that has to be attatched to the drone or it is illegal to fly

[@loghoppers]

@tftv1987 what under 249g in the UK? Really? Not what I read lol HAPPY HOPPING 👌🏼👍🏼

[@tftv1987]

@loghoppers To fly a drone under 250 grams in the UK, you must: Follow the Drone Code Get an Operator ID from the Civil Aviation Authority if your drone has a camera Be at least 18 years old to get an Operator ID Check for hazards and restrictions before flying Avoid flying over crowds Avoid flying over Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) Get permission from the landowner before taking off or landing

[@tftv1987]

@loghoppers its a free test online takes about 20 min

[@loghoppers]

@tftv1987 OK, that's cool. But I did ask a police man and he said... It's a mountain open to public and not a house or ssi or other in site.... "fly ya socks off pal" he ended with lol. Cheers for the advice tho, have passed the drone to a friend who wanted it anyway. So as we Nomads say, "JIMMY" lol. Thanks again and HAPPY HOPPING 👌🏼 👍🏼

[@tourcheverybridge]

with the great respect who just throws out a workong drone? Fair play & good luck to you and good on ya. I’d rather you had it and it just go to landfill…. love ya both xx

[@loghoppers]

Someone moving house and nearly in their 60s lol, and had no use for it moving to a new home. Also cheers, thank you for your continued support and comments. HAPPY HOPPING 👌🏼 👍🏼

[@UrbanKiwiana]

Evening but Not for you.. I love drones I've never had one or flown one but I really love a drones perspective, Its just another level that is ground filmers can't do. I wanted one for my nationwide walk a Bout..but I'm very conscience on bag weight and not wanting to pack things that aren't as important. Merry Christmas for tomorrow

[@loghoppers]

Same for us too. Really delicate... I want to get my hands on an fpv (small) as they seem to have alot of more hardy materials than consumerist branding... but yet to grab one and try, will hopefully talk to fpv uk and see what happens... if not... will buy one in the future for a give away no doubt... re:weight etc. HAPPY HOPPING 👌🏼👍🏼

[@UrbanKiwiana]

@loghoppers +Sounds epic..good luck for reals, I've looked at a few but yeah if it's even light but bulky I'll rid it lol. I'm still learning alot as I go

[@_NickB_]

"Definitely a man gadget" truer words have never been spoken 😂

[@loghoppers]

@@_NickB_ lol, cheers. HAPPY HOPPING 👌🏼 👍🏼

[@GeorgeGeorgeOnly]

Because your drone has a camera, even though it's under 250 gms, you will need the minimum of an Operator ID from the CAA under the latest new legislation. Flying without it, apparently, could land you in a lot of trouble. I recently acquired a similar drone which I haven't flown yet, partly because it's not a good time of year but mostly because I'd like to get the ID first. It isn't difficult (unless you have problems with requiring a permanent address) or expensive to get your ID, and the CAA website tells you everything you need to know. You just have to study the Drone & Model Aircraft Code and sit a short examination for it.

[@loghoppers]

We're in the UK 🇬🇧, it's legal here under 250g camera or not. Just can't use in residential areas etc. HAPPY HOPPING 👌🏼👍🏼

[@ZeBadger]

@@loghoppers That law was strengthened a few years ago... yes you need an Operator ID if it has a camera - even if it's under 250g. The CAA is the UK Civil Aviation Authority.

[@Justhazza43]

Lost mine in a tree a few weeks back. Can see it there but can't get up lol

[@loghoppers]

[@loghoppers]

@Justhazza43 ahhhh nooo, it's stuck there? Can you not grab a ladder? HAPPY HOPPING 👌🏼 👍🏼

[@Justhazza43]

@@loghoppers nooo it's an evergreen tree about 40 foot up. I was hoping a squirrel or crow or something would knock it out but no it's still up there teasing me. Probs no good now anyhow with all the weather we've had 🙄

[@sybennett7392]

I homeless an really struggling I have nothing to keep my self until 26 Dec wen sanction gets life’s I begging for advice to keep warm for ac cheap as possible thanks in advance 👌👌✊🏼✊🏼👍👍

[@loghoppers]

@sybennett7392 Hiya, what do you have already? you can find a full set of thermals, top and bottom... it's a good start. Unfortunately they're about £20 but check out our base layer video, it touches loosely but you'll see a pop up of amazon... take a look. Also do remember, there are soup kitchens for free, church's with food banks and water supply, ask friends and family for help too (if possible), local homeless shelters are out there, and stay active as much as you can... keeps the body warm. If you would like a more personal and confidential talk, please do email us (link in bio). Stay safe, warm and hope you're OK. 👌🏼👍🏼
