Hello my name is Jon and I’m completely new to the Drone flying scene. I’m a full time content creator on twitch and have recently started a new channel called LifeDoesJon on YouTube where I will be featuring drone footage for cinematic cut scenes etc whilst doing a life vlog of sorts.
As of typing this I’m getting to grips with everything pretty well, I’m fortunate to have some woodland local to me where I have been practicing. I have a decent understanding of exposure settings due to previously enjoying wildlife photography, but I’m super excited to try something new! I have pruchased my insurance through Grey Arrows and will be making the most of the Drone Scene map to make sure I’m flying in places Im allowed to fly.
I look forward to getting to know you all, I hope to attend some meetups someday and maybe vlog those visits too,
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.
If you join the @group-westmidlands you will see if there are any meet ups. @Foley and I host meetups on Sundays, so keep an eye out for that. Our last one got a bit cold, so we may leave it a couple more weeks to warm up.
Hey thank you so much, how do I join the group? Might be easier on my pc when I get home. I have already been getting some epic footage in Warley Woods where I’m friends with a lot of the staff, I have been monitoring wildlife there for years now an to get a birds eye view of what the buzzards see is incredible!
