So, for those that were asking about my decision. Thanks to some great feedback from members here and a decent black Friday deal, I went with this Drone. I’ll let you all know how it goes once I learn how to fly it.
I also bought the guards separately for 20 bucks.
Nice
I think you will be happy with your choice. I was out practicing today with my 5 year old daughter and she too had so much fun flying it and did it pretty easily.
That’s awesome she gets to fly it. Big confidence booster for her and fun as well. Good stuff!
She is now insisting that for Christmas she needs a remote control car and after Christmas she would like a drone 
@sbridges2, warns us when bad weather is approaching! 
Our kids all have drones and rc cars, etc. Gets them outside.
Even though most of what you’d learn you would never need to know, I actually really enjoyed learning the material. A big chunk of it is learning how to read aeronautical maps and these coded weather reports. It’s kinda fun. I just watched a couple of these Part 107 test prep YouTube videos… about 5 times each, and I passed the test the first time.
This guy does a pretty good job : https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=6_ucCKFJUCU
Nice, thanks!!!
I have the same set up as Roy, (and the license). 
I have the same set up as Joe, (and the license).
How the world changes. We got balls! “Don’t play ball in the house.” Got us outdoors.
Yes, they still have all that fun stuff as well, but times have changed for sure.
We’ve been using a Mavic Mini, Mavic Pro 2, Mavic Pro Zoom and an EXO Blackhawk.
The only problem I have with the DJI drones, any of them, is the geofencing. I don’t think I should have to get permission from DJI to fly my drone in airspace that I’ve already received clearance in from the real governing bodies.We are looking into software to break the geofencing but in the future we will probably invest in an Autel or Skydio.
I have not used these but I heard that they are VERY stabile in 30 mph wind…excellent video and pics.
They do very well, when DJI allows you to fly. 
The mini actually does pretty good up to about 20 mph.
I didn’t know that even existed. So I may have problems around airports in Atlanta?
You’ll have that problem around airports anywhere…
I have not even cracked the book on getting my FAA licensing. Atlanta has a couple big airports in the downtown area where I do a good bit of work. This will be interesting.
