Hi all,
Fairly new to drones, I started with a DEERC D35 Pro which was just over £100, and got hooked. I soon upgraded to the mini 4 pro for the better camera quality. Still looking for places in Gloucestershire to take off and land, but I intend to take the drone with me when I travel for work.
Hi from sunny Blackpool
Quite sunny in Gloucester earlier - but bloody freezing!
Hi Nick @Germo62 and welcome to GADC 
Many thanks! I’m getting as much practice as I can, flying is fairly easy but catching the images and videos is a challenge 
Welcome to the group.

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 @Germo62 and welcome to the GADC group
Welcome to GADC @Germo62
Tyndale Monument at sunrise is a good starter. It’s at North Nibley in Gloucestershire, and on the Cotswold Way, so good for a walk as well.
Park in the layby near the cemetery if a hike is not your thing.
More details are in the Where to Fly category.
Hi and welcome Nick @Germo62
That’s a good idea, I ventured out on Painswick beacon earlier, but dodging golf balls isn’t fun.
Unfortunately Haresfield beacon is Nat trust and flying not allowed
Don’t let that stop you, they don’t own the sky and no air restrictions are in place
