Another hello from the Wirral

Hi everyone,

Recently joined up to benefit from the cover. I fly Dji, currently own a Mini 4 Pro, Avata 2 and Neo. I mainly fly for photography, but do a little video too.

I got into photography as part of my recovery from PTSD due to military service. Started out with a phone camera and now have several cameras as well as the drones. I was awarded a Veteran Scholarship to get my A2 CofC certification which really got me interested in Drones and never really looked back.

Looking forward to seeing all your work and learning from you all. If you’re bored you can find out more about me and see some of my stuff at my website. simongarlandlo.com

Flying a drone is great fun but sometimes you feel the need to have a purpose for doing so and the Challenges category provides some great reasons for you to fly.

There are regular challenges which are open to all, that attract members of all abilities. Support, advice and constructive criticism is freely available; still photography, video and the techniques for editing both are involved in the challenges. Suggestions, for subjects or for complete challenges, are always welcome - take a look in the Challenges category for more information.


We’re a well established club with many knowledgeable members so it’s very likely that any issues you come across will have been discussed here before. Our discussion forum has very powerful search features which should help you find what you need but if you get stuck you can post a new question in the Questions & Answers category.

And finally, if you are new to drones and wondering what it’s all about, have a look at Resources for a beginner.

Welcome once again!
