Stumbled on this today. Honestly, for Scotland, you just want reliability so you dont lose your footage or run out of juice. This simple combo works well:

• SanDisk Extreme Pro 128GB microSDXC V30
• DJI Mini 4 Pro Intelligent Flight Battery 2590mAh Im happy with the extra flight time and data speed. Hand launch the drone and you wont need that bulky pad anyway...

I remember my first time trekking through the Highlands with a drone... I packed way too much junk and my back paid for it. Scotland is stunning but the weather changes every five minutes, so you gotta be lean. Since youre on a budget, dont sweat the expensive accessories. Regarding the ND filters, people get really heated about the 60fps thing. In my experience, even if youre shooting high frame rates, a filter helps keep your shutter speed at a reasonable level so the footage doesnt look unnaturally sharp or digital. It basically makes the motion feel more like what your eyes see. Here is what I would actually spend that 150 bucks on:

• Freewell DJI Mini 4 Pro All Day 6-Pack ND Filters. These are solid and cover every lighting situation youll hit.
• Samsung PRO Plus 256GB microSDXC because high-res footage eats space fast and you dont want the card failing mid-hike.
• Lykus RC 2 Travel Case. Instead of a landing pad, get a hard case or a stick protector for your controller so you can just shove it in your backpack safely. Honestly, skip the landing pad for hiking. I tried carrying a big 20-inch hoop through a bog once and it was basically a kite. Just practice hand-launching and hand-landing. Its way easier when the ground is nothing but mud and heather. Focus your cash on the filters and good storage... those are the things that actually affect your footage quality at the end of the day.

@Reply #1 - good point! Scotland weather is mental. Honestly, if youre shooting at 60fps, those nd filters might be a waste of your cash. In my experience, you only really need them to get motion blur by doubling your shutter speed. If its cloudy, youll likely be at 1/120 anyway without extra glass. I think the camera has a fixed aperture too, so youre kinda limited. Not sure if I'd bother with them right now. As for the landing pad... dont. I tried carrying one of those circles once and it was basically a sail in the wind. Total nightmare. I usually just hand launch or use my pack as a flat surface. Over the years ive learned that keeping gear light is way more important. Just make sure the gimbal is locked down tight. IIRC that sensor is super fragile if it bounces around and the highland grit gets everywhere.
