New Member - Hello from South Wales!

Hey everyone! I’m a 30 year old video editor working for a production company. I’m relatively new to drone flying - I live in South Wales, around the Abercynon area. Since I’m surrounded by mountains I decided to pick up a DJI Mini 3 back in January.

The experience has been incredible so far and I’m always excited to get back out into a new flight! I’ve learnt so much more about cinematography, weather, terrain, aviation laws and all sorts over the last few months and it’s been fascinating. Been browsing through the forums for the past few days and it seems like a great community you’ve got here.

Looking forward to chatting to you guys here!

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!

Welcome from the mean streets of inner-city Cardiff. You’ve made a good choice joining Grey Arrows, even if it does sound a bit like a secret fascist paramilitary organisation (you know, for when the balloon goes up and all that…). The club is friendly, welcoming, and helpful, and there is plenty of banter!
