Drones have got to have a diy use as well, thinking of apiece of tile that appeared on the side of the house, got to be safer than going up a ladder.

My sister in law works for a roofing firm and they use one for roof inspections/quotes. She says her boss has got very good at using one now and takes professional movies/pictures of roofs that they would have had to use ladders and towers in the past to carry out an inspection. Says he started off with one just above toy level at first but has since moved on to a more professional setup.

My son just gave me one - I think these are about £150 and according to mostvreviews are an excellent starter drone. It’s a Holy Stone HS110G. I’m quite liking it and it has a lot of features for a cheaper drone. See the review:

Back on drones. Any other 'droners' out there? I sort of got fed up with the one my son gave me and only played with it for a few weeks, my main grief with it was that it lost WiFi video transmission over distances of a couple of hundred meters plus it has a fixed camera but with my birthday coming up in less than two weeks, Mrs Mottie is pestering me to tell her what I want. There’s nothing I really want but to keep her happy I'm thinking of asking for another drone. I’ve seen one that is supposed to give good video transmission up to 10kms and has a three way gamble on a 4K camera so might get that. It’s still a beginner drone though which fits well with my limit of competence. It’s the DJI mini 4K and I was going to get the full kit with three batteries. Anyone got one or can add anything to this?
