Hi I’m Andy! I used to be an airborne surveyor until it all went wrong in Africa one evening! I worked on Google Earth in the UK I did most of the non standard flight applications for the companies who flew the UK imagery. I’m passionate about mapping and I love drone imagery and its versatility.
Since 2011 I have been a genreral practice photographer based in Lutterworth. I did some 3d mapping trials with a phantom 4 in 2017 but (for many reasons) since then time has not been on my side. Now I’m ready to pick it up again
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.
