A newbie to drones, i’ve been interested in them for a while, and in March I decided to invest in a Mavic Mini 5 Pro.
My background is in professional photography and videography, so introducing a drone to my kit was inevitable. I am enjoying the learning process of getting to know my drone and what it can do, and i’m looking forward to learning more and meeting new people within the community.
I’m based in Northamptonshire, always happy to meet new people in the community and travel to fly at interesting sites.
Here’s a shot from my first outing with my drone at Rutland Water.
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.
