New Member from Oldham/Rochdale

Hey, I’m Richard – and I love seeing the world from a different angle.
Based in Oldham, I spend my time between Studio 9 and the skies, capturing creative content that stands out – especially for social media.

Whether it’s a smooth aerial shot of your location, behind-the-scenes footage, or just something a little different to add to your feed, I’m all about helping people tell their stories in a fresh, eye-catching way.

If you’ve got an idea – or even just a vibe – I’m always up for a chat. Let’s make something cool.

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.

Our Associates are able to enjoy a lot of great services for free but our Members are eligible for a whole lot more! Read all the details about our Membership Benefits?

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!

I am definitely looking into the Gold Membership but will need to wait until I get my War Pension at the end of the Month, which will give me ample opportunity to learn more about the benefits of Membership.

Welcome Richard. I’m new to all this too, and not that far from you (north Manchester).
It’s amazing to just have the chance of looking at things from a different perspective. You also start spotting drone shots in films and programmes.
