I live in Warrington, but work in Manchester.
Don’t seem to get much flying in lately either due to crap weather or just to busy having bought a house in June that’s taking a lot of my time up.
Hi @Andy_B and welcome to the Grey Arrows, great to have you on board
Yet another North West member, poor @Londroner is going to think this is some kind of conspiracy
I’m over in Wigan so not far from you at all! But ditto, I know exactly what you mean about the weather. I think this is where the southerners have the advantage over us northerners
If you’ve not seen it already, check out the “recommended places to fly” map:
Thinks? Knows! A warm welcome nonetheless, @Andy_B, very good to have you with us. You’re not alone in being ‘grounded’ by the weather. One of the penalties for being a drone fanatic in this country, I suppose.
As for Tapatalk we don’t support it as yet but I’m sure, if enough members want it, the matter could be put before the club committee at its next meeting/pub crawl.
Been flying for about 3 years now…started with a parrot ar drone, quickly moved to a bebop. That was followed about 8 months later by a bebop 2, which turned out to be a massive disappointment…the video quality was terrible and I returned it under warranty to parrot…who promptly sent me 2 replacements…silly people…
So, I sold the pair of them as unopened along with my sky controller.
The proceeds kitted me out with a p3a and plenty of accessories. Million times better than the parrot…
Had that for almost a year, but decided to sell up February this year, while it still had decent value, the proceeds going towards a new house deposit.
6 months on, and the house in the bag,I splashed out on the mavic.
So how are you finding the Mavic? And what would you say the main differences are?
I longed for a Phantom for years, literally, but when the Mavic was release date that was it, I NEEDED it!! I practically sold a kidney in order to get one
Love it. Its an amazing peice of kit.
Never expected should great video quality from such a small camera. I film everything in 4k, edit and upload to youtube in 4k too. Until recently, I didnt have a 4k screen to view the results on…when I did, I was blown away
I record in D-log now too, experimenting with colour grading and LUT’s…you can get ome cracking results with a lot of effort!
I’ve never been a fan of post edting, until I got my Mavic…
Since then I’ve learnt an absolute mountain of stuff!
Prime example…
Before the Mavic, I thought LUTS stood for Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms and I couldn’t work out why people were discussing intimate health issues on drone forums
Another Warringtonian here. I have got several drones and a couple of them have never been flown! I don’t seem to be able to find a place to fly where I can stay well withing the law. Hoping to find someone/people whom I can to fly with? Oh, I do enjoy flying my Inductrix FPV around the house.
Ive lived in Warrington for about 6 months now after moving from Lymm…not found anywhere local yet to fly, although I have marked a couple of locations out to try when monsoon season finally ends.
Myself and a few others meet up in Lymm sometimes, youre welcome to join up with us.
