Hello from Worcestershire UK...

[QuadFly]

Hi to everyone on the forum...I thought should introduce myself, I'm QuadFly a new Phantom 3 4K pilot from Worcestershire in the UK

I've had my drone a couple of weeks & have made a few flights now. Really enjoying it & slowly getting to know the Phantom & the DJI Go app. Loving the 4K video footage & pictures which I've been taking, they are amazing quality even with the auto settings I've been using so far. I'm very happy to have finally got a drone. I had been looking at them for several years so finally took the plunge & very glad I chose the Phantom 3 for my first drone.

It's nice to be able to join the drone community & looking forward to posting more on this great forum soon

They're all worthy. There could be a killer shot in anyone's footage.

Got you, I'll start editing some footage then. BTW is there any desktop editing software available from DJI? I couldn't find anything so I was thinking of using my GoPro software instead for some quick edits

Welcome to the forum Quad,

If you have not already done so, check the CAA rules for flying UAV's.

Flying drones | UK Civil Aviation Authority

To protect yourself in the case of an accident, insurance is a good idea. e.g. (BMFA) British Model Flying Association (UK). Click on the link to view their web site :-

British Model Flying Association

It costs £33 at the time of writing.

The next thing to do is join a flying club to learn the ropes. Its more than likely there will be members only too glad to help out with advice.

You might like to try the following apps.

The first one shows UK airspace and includes NOTAMS.

UK AirspaceAVOID for Pilots – Android Apps on Google Play

And :-

No Fly Drones

Enjoy the forum

Thought not as I couldn't find any references to it anywhere. I've got GoPro Studio so might give it a try, not sure about how it handles 4K though as yet.

Thank you very much for the advice & links deltamike, really appreciate it. I have been looking at getting the BMFA insurance & will take a look at the other sites now

Unless you have a mightily powerful PC/Mac, with a very large hard drive, 4K editing will be very, very difficult.

Ah!...Laptop/PC are both quite decent spec but would it be best to use 1080p instead as it's only going to be for PC/laptop or maybe occasional TV viewing?

Cheers

Quite decent spec won't cut it I'm afraid.
Yes, that's what I'd do.

Thanks for the advice, I'll be giving it a try on some footage this week hopefully
