Learn to fly a DJI drone, the market leader in sales worldwide. Models are Phantom (no longer sold new}, Mavic 2 Pro, Mini 3 Pro. Legal requirements in Australia and overseas. Where to fly and where flying is not permitted. Weather conditions to be observed. Safety requirements. A list of apps to ensure compliance with and enjoyment of this great recreational hobby and adventure. What is available for drone buyers if something unplanned happens, eg damage, immersion in water.

Drones essentially are flying cameras, so make the most of the many variations available in the later models that provide high quality video and still pictures, including 4X zoom. Another fast growing segment is First Person View (FPV) where the drone operator uses goggles rather than a screen to see the view of the surrounding vista, this can be incorporated into the Mini 3 Pro without buying/using a separate drone.
