A long time landscape photographer, now a new drone photographer having obtained a Mini 5 Pro around Christmas time, and then spent the next month trying to remove all the ‘new laws for 2026’ suggestions from my YT stream after watching just one on NYE.
After that mind fog, i have very much enjoyed learning to fly my fully insured, ID’d, DJI care plan’d, fully bubble wrapped drone. Seriously i need to chill out and enjoy the thing!
Looking forward to picking up the positive vibes here at GA, and getting out there.
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.
