Hello everyone! My name is Adam, I’m from Gateshead up in the north east and I’ve only recently started flying my very first drone: DJI Mini 2.
I have been flying for a couple of weeks now after a friend introduced me to flying drones. I instantly fell in love! Between the bad spouts of weather, I’m mainly doing recreational flying but want to get more into photography, learning as much as I can.
Just thought I’d introduce myself to this fine community and can’t wait to get involved!
