I bought my first drone, a Phantom 2, in 2015 and got quite into it. It was state of the art at the time, and the capabilities with the zenmuse H3-3D and GoPro Hero 3+ blew me away. It was used every now and then until around 2019, when a GoPro update stopped it working and it all became a bit of a pain to fly. I took it away to the lake district in early September and realised perhaps there are better options out there now, and waited a couple of weeks to get a Mini 5 Pro to replace it. What a difference!
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.
