Just scored my first drone at Costco … am I officially in the club now?

So glad to finally join this hobby. I wanted the RC2 controller but at least I have a 90 day return option if those awesome bundles come back.

Can’t wait to get started!

My first drone ended up in the ocean off North Carolina. At least with trees, you have a shot!

Good luck and welcome to a fun hobby!

You should check out photogrammetry using Reality Capture for some cool stuff to do with your drone.

I’m also a ‘first drone in the ocean’ case! So glad I got DJI Care, so I’m not alone.

When you’re new and overconfident, anything can happen!

@Drew
How on earth did you crash it in the ocean?

@Drew
What actually happened?

@Drew
Another victim of the ocean here. Mine is lost off the coast of Komodo Island, taken out by a sea eagle. I managed to get it back, but it was toast.

That was with the mini 3 pro. Just last week I got the mini 4 pro on sale, and I’m definitely going to be more careful this time.

Not a drone, but back in the 2000s I got a nice RC helicopter for Christmas. Opened it up, fixed it together, and it was stuck on top of the highest tree in about 20 seconds, never to be retrieved. I can relate to the tree comment lol

Eh it’s got a bunch of sensors on it, you’ll be fine lol

I mean, they almost fly themselves!

Just grab the RC2 from Amazon! I did the same thing.

That’s true, I need to check the price difference.

Is the RC2 really that much better?

Not sure about better, but it’s definitely more convenient.

Absolutely!

@Koa
No phone, and it’s up to you if you like having the controller below the sticks. I remember the RC2 has slightly less range.

Costco for the drone and Amazon for the controller is what I did.

Registered mine this week with the battery plus and the triple charger.

I’ll trade my RC2 for someone’s RCN2.
