Hi, I’m a new drone pilot from Watford. I got a DJI Mini 2 SE a few days ago (won an Amazon voucher and what better to spend it on) and have been nervously flying it around some playing fields and parks near my house, though rain has stopped play for now. I’m loving it so far and have taken the on line test, paid for an Operator ID etc. This is my first ‘proper’ drone though I’ve been flying toy drones and helicopters for a few years. This is much more fun…

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.

Welcome to the group, hope you find it here.
Isn’t it great watching your drone behave and stay where you ask it to even with a bit of wind. Like you we had toy ones. A simple fart put the drone on next doors roof.
