Hi. I’ve just started flying my first drone (dji mini 3) and live in the Camberley area. I’m wondering if there are ever any club meet ups and also is there anywhere nearby I can fly? I just need stick time to master controls at the moment so I’m not after cinematic views, I just need to practice. Sadly my garden isn’t suitable.

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.
Welcome once again!

Hi
Is there anywhere locally you can recommend to fly? I’ve looked at the apps but nowhere seems usable around these parts. I’m learning so it’s about practice more than grand views.
Thanks
There are three on Drone Scene just down the road from you.
Literally anywhere, there’s no restrictions in Camberley. Im flying there tomorrow for estaete agency work. Its Farnborough and Blackwater that have the FRZ. Whereabouts are you? Heatherside might suit you…
