Recommendation for a soldering iron

[3DPrinterGuy]

Greetings,
I am interested in building some of the projects offered on this site but I am a total newbie to electronics. Would any of you be willing to share your recommendations for an ideal soldering tool for soldering these tiny electronic connections. Thanks in advance !

When it comes to learning how to solder I would suggest watching the tutorials for drone FPV guys. e.g.

These are from the perspective of someone that needs to learn how solder to be able to do something else. So its about practical technique. As for a soldering iron, I would suggest something like a Pinecil v2 https://pine64.com/product/pinecil-smart-mini-portable-soldering-iron/ . Good flux something chipquick flux and good leaded 63/37 solder. Possibly a helping hands clamp and a holder with a copper mesh (copper mesh is used to clean solder from a hot tip). And you are good to go. You can buy it in a kit or piece it out. Then I would say get some practice boards and really practice. Soldering isn't hard but experience really does count. You can absolutely teach yourself from youtube but it is a practical skill to develop.
