DJI Mini 3 First Flight
A bit of a different video again this week, interupting the schedule.
After helping my 83yr old Dad with his drone, I couldn't resist nipping back with mine, a DJI Mini 3 and giving it it's first flight. Not the most exciting subject but it is what it is at our local port.
I shared it afterwards with my Dad, whereupon he returned the next day to push his flying further too, particularly when it ended up being an even better day. He's now itching to get out again this coming weekend and try even more techniques.
He'd also recently mentioned he was having problem with his landing mat curling and had asked me to make an aluminium frame to lay over it. I found a better solution and quickly designed a new mat for him!

A slight change of direction for the channel. I had thought about setting up another for my ramblings, but as this channel has already slipped from it's original path, I figured it's time to step in front of the camera more. So this is me, I'm Jon, I live in Cumbria and this is all my own nonsense!
Animal Rescue: Recovered from a road and taken to safety.
มุมมอง 19528 วันที่ผ่านมา
The other day, this little chap was struggling across a road close to our house, apart from the obvious danger from cars, I was also concerned it was in prime cat territory. Fortunately there was a park nearby, though clearly it wasn't going to take the easy option into the grass where I placed it... more worrying this is where cats often sit and watch.

    Thanks for the heads up about this drone, I almost went ahead and purchased one on their website. I really should have copped-on as soon as I seen the 50% reduction, if the drone was as good as they claim it would sell it's self, it wouldn't need a massive reduction of 50%. You don't see any DJI drones with this kind of discount and I should know I recently purchased a DJI Mini 4 which left my bank account down around a grand! If it looks to good to be true, it usually is to good to be true!!!

      Thanks. It's only a couple of weeks late, everytime I was free, the weather wasn't, after filming the digger quickly one day. I went back several times, both sides of the river! Nearly crashed the drone on the underbridge flight as the wind was gusting straight down the channel, I had to just get as much shot as I could. Only spotted the train at the last minute to grab that for the end. All the audio I recorded was ruined by wind noise too, so this morning quick narration and a scrabble for some closely appropriate sound effects, instead of music.

      Hi Ben, I suspect that's how many ended up with them. Annoying really as once you get a drone that does what it should, it's a great hobby and interesting view on the world. You'll be pleased to here yes, it takes a whilefor the refund to come. So when it arrives, tell them it is 'not as described' via email, which is clearly against selling regulations, ask for an address to return it and that you require a refund, chances are they won't even ask for it back.

    Update after requests: I didn't mention the name of the original drone as they appear to change it along with the website regularly but following some requests and questions, at the time of creating this content, this drone was being sold under the Qinux brand. It's sold as a high spec, they even claim 8k, camera drone and currently on offer for 50% off, just below £100, even at that price, a similar model can be found on aliexpress for around $25 or less, which clearly they are just dropshipping under the scammers branding. We await to find out if a refund will happen.
