Drones look like so much fun! Your pictures really make me want to jump in and try it out for myself. I imagine that the drones are pretty expensive, though. Is it easy to control?
@manouche, there are drone flying simulators on PC and you can plug your remote control through USB. So you can train to fly properly before taking the risk to break your several-thousand-euros toy.
This one is a self-built racing drone with fully manual control so you need to know what you are doing before you fly it. Drones like the DJI Mavic Airare easy to operate and great to take aerial photos and videos.
Oh whoa. How incredibly cool that it is self-built. At first instance, I was thinking I should try my hand at it but then I know I'll possibly just fail miserably! Thanks for the recommendation. I'm going to look into it and see if it's something I can indulge in.
Haha, I actually started looking into the tutorials. Thinking of maybe trying it out as a summer project with an engineer friend ( just to be on the safe side)!
Start with a simulator like Liftoff. It's not the same like a real miniquad but this particular one feels quite realistic, so you'll see whether this is for your or not. Of course it only makes sense if you use it with a regular rc-transmitter and not with a mouse!
This looks amazing, @gric. Seems like the perfect place to start. Also looks like a super fun game regardless. I have a friend who said he has an rc transmitter so we're planning on checking it out in the coming weeks. Thanks for all the suggestions and if you have any more for absolute novices, they're more than welcome!
Co-pilot was bored? Watching the flight through the camera looks like it would have been awesome fun XD Probably not as fun as through the goggles but still. Hiking is pretty nice too :) Looks like a nice day, and some really nice shots :D
No, just tired. It was my second hike for the year. I'm a bit out of shape after Winter and need to get my body moving more. Watching through the phone was good. Sometimes you "feel" the motion.

These photos are beautiful. It looks like extraordinary experience. Thanks to your photos I am able to understand this passion .
It's more an obsession than a passion! :-)
:)
The co-pilot was just tired and was happy to sit and enjoy the scenery. =)
Glad to hear that! So I'm not flying so bad after all! :-)
You're doing just fine.
So much fresh air, sunshine and exercise was getting to me. =)
Well, then let's do it again!
So beautiful!! Feel like you are flying right?!
Yes, if you fly through the goggles then it's like an out-of-body experience.
That's spectacular !!!
what a wonderful view .Cheers
Thanks!

That definitely sounds like the best place to start. I'm going to look into it. Thanks for the reccommendation, @haedre! Do you speak from experience?
I do not have any drone myself but I tried the simulator at a friend's place.

You'll find tons of video tutorials on how to build, tune and fly these drones! All you need is a certain amount of obsession! :-)
