Greetings from Saltcoats

Started into the crazy world of drone ownership in 2012 with a Phantom 2, with a Zenmuse gimbal clutching a cheap SJCAM, with no FPV. Getting it into position to take images was just down to luck. Happy days. Forward to 2023 and the bug bit again and a second hand Mini 2 was purchased. What a joy! What sophistication! How small!! It’s always part of my photographic clobber when I go on holiday. And gets put to good use checking the house roof after storms!!

Hi @Maz and welcome to Grey Arrows :wave:t2:

Looking for recommendations of places to fly? Check out our interactive map on Drone Scene and please feel free to add locations of your own too :smiley:

Have you seen our Members Map? You may find some members living near you.

Feel free to add yourself to the members map too!

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!

Hi @Maz and welcome to the GADC. You are quite right about the difference of getting a DJI from a cheaper drone. So stable and easy to use.

Once again, Welcome.
