Hi I,m Robert I live in S Wales and also spend a lot of time in Barnstaple Devon since I retired, I have been a keen photographer for some years now and recently purchased the DJI Mini 4pro to add a different dimension to my photography. I have yet to get airborne but came across this club and have just became a member, hoping to gain some tips and tricks going forward and get to meet some like minded people and enjoy what I think will be become another great passion alongside photography.

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!

Ahh Porth…
TBH I haven’t flown much recently - personal reasons** sees me at the Royal Glam on a daily basis. But yes, you are quite close to me and my eldest is up the road from you in Treherbert.
I’m sure if you post with enough notice someone would be willing to join you.
** I haven’t posted about it here but let’s just say it has been a challenging time for me and my family.

Sounds like we’re gearing up for a South Wales meet. I’m in, but it’ll have to be somewhere I can get to by public transport, preferably bus so I can use my pass!
