DJI Mini 2 Drone



The DJI Mini 2 is a great drone for beginners looking to capture high-quality aerial footage. According to a review by TechRadar, the DJI Mini 2 is the perfect entry-level drone for beginners looking to get to grips with flying, capturing, and editing birds-eye views of beautiful landscapes and cityscapes (where permitted). The DJI Mini 2 offers 4K resolution, although it has a smaller sensor size than the Mini 3 Pro and lacks obstacle avoidance sensors. But whichever you opt for, you won’t be disappointed, as long as you're happy to shoot during the brighter daylight hours¹. 


The DJI Mini 2’s design is virtually identical to that of the Mavic Mini, but what’s seen a revamp is that controller, which is beautifully streamlined and delivers a boosted experience. Just like its larger Mavic siblings, the Mini 2 is collapsible with arms that unfurl to transform the palm-sized unit into a drone with just a few spring-loaded maneuvers. The Mini 2 weighs less than 249g. This means it doesn’t currently need to be registered with aviation agencies in the US, UK, and Australia, but do check your local laws – it's also worth bearing in mind that recent UK drone law changes mean it does need to be registered, regardless of that identical weight¹. 


The DJI Mini 2 is an ultra-compact drone that’s so small and easy to use that you can slip it out of a jacket pocket and launch it within seconds. It's since been succeeded by the DJI Mini 3 Pro, but remains on sale as a more affordable alternative to that model. This makes it one of the best beginner drones for those who want to capture 4K video without some of the high-tech wizardry of the pricier DJI drones that dominate our best drones list¹². 


Overall, the DJI Mini 2 is a great choice for anyone looking to capture high-quality aerial footage. It offers 4K resolution, a sleek design, and is easy to use. While it may not have all the features of the more expensive DJI drones, it's a great option for beginners or anyone looking to capture stunning aerial footage without breaking the bank. Happy flying! 🚁

Our first all Electric Car - Cupra Born v3

Image
When my wife’s current car (Volvo XC40) contract was coming to an end, we started to explore all electric cars as potential replacement. There were a few reasons behind this thought process….firstly my current X5 45e inspired me to think of getting an electric car, secondly the costs, thirdly no congestion charge in London and above all our Solar Panel installation at home - potentially making running costs to a bare minimum(specially during the summer months)! After some thorough research we short-listed the VW ID3, Cupra Born, Tesla model 3, Renault Megane e-tech, Kia EV6 and Hyundai Ioniq 5. Had to rule out Kia and Hyundai as both were slightly larger than the Volvo XC40 we were planning on replacing. Unfortunately for Renault as well as Tesla the prices were just not reasonable enough at the time of placing the order. So we were left between the ID3 and Born - that was relatively simple as the Cupra definitely stood out in the looks department with a more aggressive sporty look. We

Time for a change! BMW X5 XDrive 45e

Here we go again….!  Its been nearly 3 years since I have been driving my Jaguar. Absolutely love it!!! However the idea of selling it was instilled into my mind by Jaguar. Following my car maintenance service I was invited by Jaguar to consider selling my car as they could really give me a good value for it, keeping in mind the condition it was in and the current state of car market with very little new car stock in place.  Unfortunately Jaguar, didn't have any cars in stock which I felt was going to be an upgrade from my current Jaguar XF! The earliest I could get one from Jaguar on factory order would be at least 12 months away due to part shortages!  Then I started to look at the VW Touareg R - Petrol Plug in Hybrid - kind of best of both worlds - luxury SUV with hybrid engine at the same time. My last experience with the Touareg was just awesome! Loved the drive, comfort, spacious seating for the passengers, reliability, etc.... I can go on! I contacted VW dealerships and was

Cinema Room Upgrades

Image
The “upgraditis” bug has bitten me again!  I started looking at upgrades for my cinema setup over the past 12-18 months. Initially managed to get a really decent BenQ 4K short throw projector (during the Pandemic). Best thing about the BenQ was its ability to literally slot into the old BenQ projector location. No changes were required, just plug and play!  The picture quality showed a huge improvement specially with 4K capabilities and HDR10 as standard.  The overall experience with the BenQ was so good that I recommended the same projector to my brother in Canada in his new cinema setup.  BenQ W2700 is overall a great short throw projector with good 4K capabilities.  Obviously it couldn’t end just with the Projector upgrade!  I started looking at speaker upgrades for my front three speakers. I shortlisted two contenders for my specific price point - Focal or Bowers & Wilkins. After thorough research I decided on the B&W 603 S2 Anniversary Edition and B&W HTM6 S2 Anniversa
