I started flying with my mini 4 pro in June 2024 and started picking up on drone flying as a hobby. I love going out for flights at any point during the day and have picked up around 300 flights and 40 flight hours. I also got the AIR 3S yesterday (May 8th) and have loved it, I’m flying with Article 16 currently and looking at A2 CofC now.
I have autism and anxiety and mainly started flying to get me outside but I’m now looking at it as a career option. I love this and even though the UK drone system is currently a minefield I’m hoping to always see the fun in all the challenges and try to make others laugh and smile.
I hope everyone is having a lovely time and if anyone would like to give me any tips, I’d love to take them!
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.
