Hi from Woodley, Reading

Hi, I’m Steve from just outside Reading in Berkshire. As a newly retired IT consultant, I purchased my first drone (DJI M4P) last year and have been starting to get the hang of it despite the awful weather here in the UK of late!

I have been a keen photographer since I was about 7 and wanted to get a drone to allow me to take arial photos. However, since retiring I have started to get into video making as well, so the drone now has two uses!

I joined the club last year and have been following in the background, but now I have more time, I intend to take a more active part. So I have just uploaded my first video to the Videos by Drone section.

Hi Steve

Welcome. I’m in Winnersh and have an M4P, an Air 3 and an Avata that I may even get to fly for the first time before the Avata 2 comes out!

Hi Steve, welcome to Grey Arrows, hope you enjoy it here. The MP4 does look nice. We have the MP3 and money tells me… No not another one yet but someone who came to one of our meets brought one and what I got to see of it… they look pretty good too.
