I bought a DJI Mini 2 this year and love it...

I used to own a Tamiya Frog many many years ago that I bought while I was in Japan in '85.

It was fun putting it together by just looking at the pictures, as I couldn't read Japanese...

I ended up putting a Subaru Ute body on it with some spotlights that I wired up using a 4 cell AA battery pack.

Unfortunately no pics from back then.

The dgi mini 2 is a smaller drone but still pretty up there on the inbuilt smarts yeah? Comparing even mid 90s rc cars to current. Its very different to put it lightly.

I bought a cheapy first just to learn how to fly them and it was terrible, plus I couldn't get the video recording feature to work properly.

Then I did my research on the DJI Mini 2 and was blown away buy it's features.

I watched lots of Youtube videos and there was one where the guy used a battery operated blower to try and throw the DJI 'off balance' so to speak and that sold me...

It also records in 4k.

Edit: One of my early flights...
