I’m Pete from Sunderland. Been a serious (but hobbyist) photographer and videographer for many years and finally decided get into drones.
Was going back and forth on an Avata 2 or Mini 5 Pro and eventually decided on the Mini - bought it on the day of release last September but let sit on a shelf untouched until May this year haha! Not really sure what my excuse is for that.
Anyway, done all my training, got insurance, joined the club and now had 3 successful flights.
Spent A LOT of time reading topics on here so I’m now looking forward to getting a bit more involved. Great resource, thanks to all who make it happen!

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.
