Greetings from a new Inspire 2 pilot in Warwickshire, UK

[DJZ]

Hello all!

Greetings from Shakespeare's countryside, Warwickshire - UK I've been reading this forum for a while now and having recently purchased an Inspire 2 (currently with X4S camera) I thought it high time to introduce myself.

My name is Dan and I'm a Dutchman living in the UK since 2001 (I blame my British wife for this ... ;-) ) I'm a company director and this Inspire is my first ever drone. I absolutely LOVE it!

Up until the middle of last year I used to run a UAV business which specialised in developing Safety Management Systems for large commercial drones (the 10kg + systems typically used for SAR missions). This business was bought by a much larger company who then burried our development work - a real shame but apparently "that's business".

I am thoroughly enjoying flying my Inspire 2 around the countryside and my aim is to get to grips with some basic cinematography. I'm currently not interested in training to be a pro (which would take me years) but just enjoying flying it and learning how to make some half decent movies along the way. I hope to learn from the vast amount of expertise on this forum so thank you in advance for all your advice.

Cheerio!

Dan

Gentlemen,

Many thanks for the warm welcome

@halliday john : I can blame my wife for many things but I suspect you're right about the X5S ;-)

@huppe : Thanks for the welcome. I hope you haven't been blown away during today's storm ... My parents' sailboat sustained some damage in IJmuiden. I promised my dad to send the I2 up the mast to inspect some of the equipment he's got at the top but I suspect a drone won't be required after what I've been told today ... :-(

All the best folks and fly safe!

Regards,

Dan
