Sar Lou Adventures

I headed to Wales to do my first proper flight with our new DJI Air3S drone! Lake Vyrnwy is one of those stunning hidden gems in Wales that is always worth a visit, though the reservoir dam area has restrictions on drone flights to protect the resident birds and it’s managed by the RSPB.

Having some test flights to get the hang of the controls at home, I was excited to see what the Air3S could do. I’ve only scratched the surface so far but it’s clear that it’s capable of getting truly amazing footage.

With a love for hills and mountains, I needed a drone that could deal with unpredictable winds. The Air3S and Mavic drones were the only ones capable of handling big gusts and sustained winds of up to 35mph, but with the heftier price tag and weight of the Mavic the Air3S was the right choice for me and I’m loving every minute of learning what it can do.
