thabk you so much.. if they comfront you, even without liscense just tell them you're just shooting for the vlog and scenery, if they dont want to be part of it.. just tell them you're jst gnna cut it and edit it out.. you wont take long.. 😊 works for me everytime, even the cops will understand it.. just avoid airport and any private land 😊
You could do I guess 😁 thanks 🙏
Good advise!
The main ones for me-
Flying over water, I've overcome this just by having faith in my drone.
Disorientation of my drone, just by learning the app and the different map views and again having faith in the drone and it's capabilities.
Understanding RTH fully and the app settings that might affect that, also remember you still have control of your drone even though you may have lost FPV, this catches out quite a few new pilots.
Having faith in the equipment is vital and reassuring. Thanks some good points🙏
made me laugh and click as soon as i saw the headline. im that guy!
Haha thanks 😊
Awesome video! Thanks for helping me out!
I will say for people getting into this fun hobby
DONT BUY CRAPPY GEAR!!!!
Look, I know brands like DJI can be super expensive to most of us normal people,
I understand if you cant afford a DJI drone and I hope you find a good budget one.
However, if you can stretch out and buy a reliable DJI drone, do it.
The reason why DJI is so popular is because you can really have faith in your gear, trust that you wont chop fingers off, and importantly, your drone wont get lost or get mad and fly away, it will return back to you safely.
Personally, I have bought some cheap drones, and yes, I have badly hurt my poor thumbs, but spending the cash on unreliable gear just makes it harder to fly safely, and with confidence.
I hope this advice can help even just 1 person,
be sure to remain on the lookout for a used Mavic mini at least.
Have a wonderful day, stay safe and healthy, and happy flying!
Thank you 🙏 glad you found it useful. I’ve always said buy cheap buy twice 👍
Tip! don't leave your controller and ipad on the roof of you car like I did 😢 great video Nobby.
Oh no! Hope it’s not damaged too much ? Thanks 🙏
Hi Nobby I like your video's give me best to my brother terry
Thanks for your great info and let’s keep on droning safely always 👌👍 A Canadian 🇨🇦 Cheers Mate 🍺🍺👍
Thanks for the kind words 🙏
Absolute gospel for drones mate spot on and have faith must admit i get it now and again £1000+ floating in mid air lol
Oh yes.. that fear there's £1k flying above you haha
Ive found some useful info about power lines . National Grid's UK pylons are a minimum height of 118ft (36m), while the tallest are 623ft tall (190m), crossing the River Thames between Essex and Kent.
Interesting 🤨
Great tips Sir,,,, ALL make sense and worth doing,,,,,I did buy the DJI refresh 2 years which helps a lot to relax,, Love your channel and accent,, USA subscriber here,,, Fly at times over families private lands, trees all over,, yes I keep an electric chain saw in the van, ha ha ha ha
Hi Mike. The care refresh in my opinion is a great package. I’ve had it on all my drones from DJI. Having a chainsaw is a great idea 😀 thanks for the kind words and welcome to the channel 🙏
Trust me. There’s no reason to fear crashing. I do it all the time. Hahahaha. Great tips Nobbygreen. :)
Hahaha.. Kevin, your the man! i bet you dont crash that often otherwise you could compile your own drone crash video lol. Keep safe man 👍
@@nobby-green hahaha. Oh I have a drawer full of that footage. Maybe one day I’ll make a compilation. Haha
Good tips!
Informing people about my droning was a big win at one occasion. The take off, and landing spot was terrible, surrounded by fast growing weed. One day I spotted a car on the property of a nearby house. It turned out the owner was the church, using it for youth activities now and then. The person then told I could use their huge balkony, on the other side of the house! Perfect! Close to the lake, giving the drone a range of some 2 miles, hunting trains.
Informing other people I met a drone flying guy! He told his closest neighbour was abroad and the other property was left empy. Now I can buzz around their properties without fear of annoying anyone.
Doing flights just to check up hills, the height of masts and chimneys have made the sharp flight much safer. Just go on practising combining camera tilt, angle, forward combined with sideway and height....
Great stuff. A great test area it seems 👍
@@nobby-green You found my channel I think.
When I first got my drone I wanted to fly over water too scared to do it but now I will give it a chance at my local thank you for the tips
You will be fine. Enjoy it and dont panic just keep well above it👍
Good tips, Nobby. Cheers from Wisconsin, U.S.A.
Thanks George 🙏
Faith in the drone was one of the biggest fears for me. Having belief in the tech is a big step forward to building confidence. IMHO.
Totally agree 👍 thanks 🙏
words of wisdom
Thanks 🙏
This is the video I needed the most. I have two drones and I barely ever flew.
Great stuff👍 glad you found it useful thanks 🙏
@@nobby-green i had to, my m30t is feeling sad on my sideboard in the case
@@OliverHinz you need to fly. The more you do the more confident you will be. 😁👍
@@nobby-green 💯I just have 40 days till the new regulations kick in, especially for the big drone. Luckily I already have a a A2 license and UK documents.
I have been flying for nearly a year now with my Mini 2, but i still fear flying over water because if it comes down, its gone but on land atleast its more retrievable, i trust my drone 100% but what i don't trust is pesky seagulls or other birds who sometimes take aggressive action against my poor little drone, i always make sure before i take off there are no birds about but on the odd occasion they just appear out of nowhere, this can be any location at any time of the day, so i guess really my biggest fear is a bird taking my drone down-especially over water!
Yes indeed. Bird attacks are pretty scary. Best solution if they get close is to fly straight up. Birds can’t do that 👍 flick into sports mode and straight up
Thanks for that Nobby!and thanks for sharing! 👍👍
You are welcome thanks 🙏
thanks for the tip. I'm afraid to loose my drone because its expensive hehe
Yes indeed. That’s why you should have DJI care refresh 👍
@@nobby-green i dont.. 😁
As ever Nobby, some great advice. Thank you.
Thanks Mike 🙏 btw if you get in touch by email I’ll send you the sun shade. It never got claimed in the giveaway so it’s yours if you still want it 😁
Thank you for your advice.
You’re welcome ☺️ thanks 🙏
Great tips!
Thanks Earl 🙏
Thanks Nobbie! Good tips!
Thank you 🙏 you’re welcome ☺️
Awesome vid...new pilot with a Mavic 3 Classic...new learning. for an old guy...did have a lot of anxiety!! I live out in the middle of nowhere, so have total freedom to fly wherever I want. Alberta Canada here by the way...luv your channel!!
Thanks for the kind words 🙏 its must be great to live in the middle of nowhere. Very envious 😀
@@nobby-green I am blessed...on a farm where I was born and raised!! Had a Dad that was a motorhead, Mom that was a horse nut, so fell off a lot of horses and pursued a life of motoX and snowmobile racing!! So much enjoy this new sport!! Not so many broken bones..lol...keep those vids coming!! Not to old to learn!!
@@jadope1 Sounds like a great childhood. I certainly got up to mischief haha... and yes, never too old to learn👍
Thsnk you for the encouragement. This is something that I'm struggling with!
Keep flying. The more you do the more confident you will get 👍 thanks 🙏
Great tips. Thank you from Texas. 🤙
Thanks Mark 🙏 and you’re welcome ☺️
Very informative, Thanks
Thanks Terry 🙏 you’re welcome 👍
Thanks again for a professionally made and informative video! I must get out and fly the M3P more, thats the main take home message for me to decrease drone anxiety...
Thanks and you're welcome 🙏 the more you fly the more confident you will get.
Thanks.
You’re welcome 👍 thanks 🙏
Fantastic presentation. You have my subscription and thanks.
Thanks for the kind words and welcome to the channel 🙏👍
Great tips. I’ve been flying for a year now and have experienced all of these experiences except I’ve had no confrontation with anyone. Hopefully this will continue. Great job!
lets hope it stays that way 😀👍thanks 🙏
My biggest issue is trying to fly my drone around our apartment complex. I worry people think I'm trying to look through their windows but the truth is I'm only trying to hone my skills flying in an area where there is no apartments.
Hey Frank there’s always going to be that issue. One of the reasons I don’t like to fly in urban areas. Thanks 🙏
My courage check was flying over water. My next courage check is to fly over a bridge of traffic. Having faith in the equipment is a great point. Originally, my MP2 kept giving me error messages in the air, sometimes it wouldn't fly, or just drop out of the air (happened twice luckily, I was flying in a field with very high grass). Once I got the Mavic 3, it was so easy and comfortable to fly that it made me relax a little more. Don't get me wrong, I'm still a scary flier, but that's a good thing because a drone is not a toy.
Totally agree. I think we all get anxious from time to time especially when you think you have a couple of thousand pounds/dollars in the air 👍
IF you fly near large steel structures or power lines, you may get an error because the magnetic field shifts there and is not stable. If you fly a drone with 2 GPS antennas (e.g. Matric 30), you don't have that problem because then the drone doesn't care about the magnetic field.
Very nice sharing 😎🤝
Thanks buddy 👍
I am looking for a good strobe light. Thanks again for all the info
Thanks 🙏 I did a video about strobes. I’m sure there a link in the description 👍
Cheers Nobby great video, need to fly a bit more during the summer time as I’ve been busy as can be👍🏻
Hey Kacper. not seen you around for a while. keep flying as you gain more confidence. Thanks 🙏
@@nobby-green yeah, sorry about that Nobby, I was playing a bit of games here and there but I’ll be around more don’t worry :)
@@kacpermajewski81 haha.. no worries so long as your enjoying yourself thats all that matters.👍
@@nobby-green well with some games it’s more of a love hate relationship lol but yeah it’s a good way to clear the boredom anyways I’m going bed, night Nobby👍🏻
The purpose of VLOS is often misunderstood. It's a safety measure so you don't collide with anything. So you shouldn't stare at the drone all the time unless you want to see what's going on around you. That's why you should have a spotter if you fly with FPV glasses, because you can't keep control of the horizon all around in that case. If there is a helicopter, you must go down immediately where you are and land because you have a right of way obligation to everything. So sitting in a car is perhaps not such a good idea when you have to have an overview of the whole environment.
Flying from a car is fine so long as you can see the drone ☺️
Ha! I bought one and now refuse to touch it. Looks nice in my counter, though.
Haha. You and many more I guess. It’s all about confidence 👍 the more you fly the more confident you will be ☺️ thanks 🙏
@nobby-green DJI (FPV) has terrible instructions and I'm not happy with having to download the app outside of the Google Play store. I got everything to connect today but couldn't get it to take off. Progress is progress, though.
For me, a flight plan is essential. Once I know what really needs to be achieved, I become anxiety free. 4:41 you meant showing the controller 😅, not an easy task to deal with drone anxiety. Luckily, it goes away after you get used to the gear, I needed about a year to become fully confident
Flight plan should always be the first thing. hence the first tip. and yes the more you fly the more confident you get. Thanks🙏
Thank you Sir.
Another brilliant video.
Please point me towards your link for your cheat sheet, can’t find it anywhere.
Happy Landings.
The link is in the description 3rd or 4th line down thanks 🙏

Great tips, I’ll try remember them. You said you was going leave a link for a download of information to give to the public but I can’t find it within the description.
Thanks Mick. Yes I had trouble with my Google drive. It should be available tomorrow 👍
Hi Mick. Try looking now, it should work now 👍
Many thanks I’ve got it now 👍
@@micksparrow8214 great 👍
👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks 🙏
Hi Nobby,i have a serious fear of heights,i have had several drones and tried to overcome this.I look on that screen or look up high at my drone and the fobia kicks in.
Anybody came accross this one.
I guess it’s all about confidence. I’m sure that will go after time. Like I said having confidence in your equipment is key. Hope this helps 👍
I used to suffer this when flying RC planes. It's like a reversed sense of vertigo. I'd look up at the plane and my legs would turn to jelly and I'd get dizzy, almost to the point where I'd collapse. I had to give up flying RC due to this phobia.
@@paulthurston2883 I think the difference here is that you have to constantly fly rc fixed wing whereas with a drone it will hover if you let go of the sticks. Giving time to recompose 👍
@@paulthurston2883 That is quite common with flying RC planes because you are constantly flying, whereas with drones you can let go of the sticks and it will hover giving time to recompose.
Have you got any tips for getting the Dji Fly app working correctly on the Samsung Galaxy a7 Lite tablet. Not letting me go any higher than 15 meters in the UK
Check what maximum altitude you have it set at. 👍
Hey man. I had a question. Im scared to fly my drone because im scared that if im doing something wrong, im gonna get the cops called me and then im gonna get fined. I live around 5 km away from an airport and wann fly my mini 2 se around my neighborhood but the anxiety is kinda stopping me. Any tips?
You need to check the laws in your country to what the distance is you need to keep away from your Airport. You can usually check this on the attitude angels app Drone assist. Hope this helps 👍
Is the controller signal blocked if you sit in your car?
I’ve not had any problems. 👍
Fly far from subjects so joe public wont see you ,wots vlos 😂
Haha good point 😁
@@nobby-green All thanks to the fcc D tweaks,otherwise I won't of bought the mini3pro
