DJI Mavic Air Drone Beginner's Guide - Ep. 11

I bought a DJI Mavic Air drone which I'll be using to get some incredible footage for our future canal and narrowboat vlogs.
Here's some of my beginner's footage from it, and (hopefully) some useful information for anyone thinking about buying a drone.

Catch-up on every vlog, from the beginning, in order, as we explore Britain by Narrowboat:
