Returning to the hobby - South Essex

Hi all im Steve, live South Essex.
I am a returning drone pilot after having a business some time ago pre-covid with my friend.
Carried out at the time my PfCo training for Commercial flights and shot some weddings, but due to Covid the business folded.
Flown Mavic and Phantom Pro4 and have now come back to the fold and bought a Air3S. Want to utilise in conjunction with my photography so will mainly use for photography. Would like to think im a experinced flyer all be it not been flying for a few years.
Looking forward to joining you all in the skies above.
Love the resources on offer here and look forward to chatting to some fellow flyers.

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!
