I only recently got into drone flying, as I was looking for a hobby to help me get out of the house and explore a bit more. I figured this would be a great way to do that. I had considered getting a drone a while back for work purposes, but that plan was put on hold because I live in a no-fly zone—right in line with a runway.
However, I eventually decided to bite the bullet and picked up a Mini 4 Pro for personal enjoyment, and I have to say—it’s fantastic.
I’ve only had one minor mishap so far, which involved a very curious daughter, the controller, the drone, and, unfortunately… a wall. But hey, we all live and learn—and thank goodness for DJI Care!
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.
