Brand new to drones

Brand new to everything, got my first drone today, a DJI Lito 1.

I have a few questions,

Any essential accessories to go out and buy?

Best Apps to download for drone maps etc?

Best free photo & video editing software?

Looking forward to hearing from you all!

Welcome to the money pit lol, I lasted about a week before caving on spare batteries. The editing side sorted itself out later once I actually had footage worth cutting. Same with a Corgibet Casino https://corgibet-enligne.fr/ sometimes, the games and slots are the easy part, it’s all the little extras around them that somehow end up costing more than expected.

Hello and welcome to drone Hubđź‘‹
I presume you have your Operator Id and Flyer Id from the CAA?

It’s helpful to have at least a spare battery for your drone as flight time will deplete your batteries.
Having a landing matt is essential.
ND filters.

Using TheDroneMap.com this is a fantastic free web based drone airspace and flight safety map designed for drone pilots and downloadable to your phone/ Tablet etc. This will tell you where you are permitted and also where you are not permitted to fly your drone.

Welcome to the fourm, a pretty friendly and helpful lot.

Cant really recommend photo software as I use the software that came with my Nikon camera

Also a take off and landing mat is useful in helping reduce any dust n grit getting blown up and into the drones precision motors

I got my ID’s sorted this morning while waiting for the batteries to charge and now its raining so haven’t been able to fly yet!!!

I just couldn’t decide on which “map app” is the best/most reliable

Thanks for replying!!

You are most welcome
I hope the weather improves for you so you may get some practicing on your Lito 1.
Do check out the TheDroneMap.com it’s a fantastic piece of kit.:wink::+1:

A big welcome to the site I’m slightly late to the party. Just posted a massive reply to a topic regarding who has the authority to ask for ID.
I kind of got carried away and I’ve mentioned quite a few things, so if you wouldn’t mind taking a visit there?
In short in addition to other suggestions of course I would recommend leaflets and a cheap body cam. Reasons in the post.
Don’t take that as reasons to be nervous flying - it’s your hobby and you’ve done the right thing in asking advice, but those are 2 handy things to have, as people may approach you and they definitely avoid confrontation. Nobody is saying that you will be confronted lol, but whether you are shy and retiring, or a bit bolshy (?) , imho they are good to have.
Have fun flying
