Have been lurking for a while now, just getting a feel for, what I can see, is a very supportive community. I joined a few drone groups on Facebook when I first purchased my first drone (Potensic Atom 2) back in July this year, but have been very disillusioned with so much sarcasm, belittling and general unpleasantness on them. This community is a breath of fresh air.
I have had very little time with my drone. A trip to Scotland was the first use in July, but sadly the weather wasn’t brilliant, so that meant only a few test flights. Since then, I haven’t used it due to time constraints, but also some anxiety with where to fly, living in London. Hopefully that will change. I have a family visit later this month to Somerset, so hoping to get some use then.
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.
