Hi Guys, Just wanted to pop in and say hello and thanks for letting me join you all. Im a retired widower and just bought a DJI mini 2 a couple of weeks ago but havent flown it much yet as Im still ‘swatting up’ on all the do’s and dont’s before venturing out and have some fun both flying and learning to get some videos. Been messing around with it in my garden but only around 10ft heigh so cant wait to get out somewhere quiet to give it a try out properly and learn all about its features.
I have got got both Operator ID and Flyer ID and also joined BMFA/BDFA for insurance etc so hope I have all the stuff needed to appear to be responsible
Im off now to start reading through all the amazing content on here…

Welcome! I’m a complete Newbie in Scarborough. I have the Mini SE and love it! I was super cautious but in the 5 days I’ve had the drone I’ve loved every minute of it.
Here is a super short clip of Yorkshire Sea at sunrise from about 40m above ground and 80m above sea level.
I found UAV Forecast very helpful to overcome my worry the SE would blow away.
I’m new here too and moving to Staindrop soon.
I love tech and have only just found a reason to get a drone. Id not realised what they can do and do so well!
I’m possibly a couple of weeks ahead so happy to help if I can.
Thanks for the nice warm welcome guy’s, really appreciate it. Im trying to read through some of the info on your website there is just so much on this site its amazing.
What you guys have going and the services you are providing… lol so much to try and take in and so many topics, I have so much to learn with this new hobby and this club will be so much help so pleased I’ve found it.
