Hi folks,
I have just purchased my first drone after dreaming of one for many years.
I have been out a few times to get used to the controls in a local field so I can become more confident in the handling and what the drone can do (first flyer anxiety!).
My end goal is to be confident enough to take this out hiking with me as the views are so stunning that I feel my phone doesn’t capture it all.
If there is anyone in the area who fancies meeting up feel free to reach out however I may be bugging you for many tips and tricks haha!
Based in Gateshead, Tyne and Wear.
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.
