+I'm not one with a lot of experience in camera platform drones, since most of my time in the hobby has been spent in thinkering with FPV quadcopters.
+But I recently had the chance to take a look at the [FIMI A3][1] drone and decided to check it out.

+Let's take a look at what you get in the box.

+### <span id="setup" class="offset-top-nav">⚙️ Setting up the FIMI A3</span>
+
+I'm no expert when it comes down to camera platform drones but from my time with the FIMI A3, it seems the setup is pretty straight forward.
+
+You should charge up the battery and the controller and then install the propellers.
+
+You can also install a couple of SD cards in the drone and the controller in order to record both the
+HD footage and the FPV feed if you so desire.

+
+Next we need to install the battery and we're pretty much ready to hit the field.
