Complete newbie here from Bournemouth. Decided in my infinite wisdom and the need for a new toy to pick up a DJI 5 mini pro with the intention of creating content for my site.
Initially thought great lets take it out over the park, but before that lets do a bit of research. Glad I did, its a whole new world of rules and regulations I had not even considered.
Flyer and Operator ID all sorted now and got my head round the maps and took it out for its maiden flight yesterday and it was great fun.
Looking forward to meeting some more technically proficient flyers in the future.
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.
Yeh, couldn’t wait so wrote it on a slip of paper and taped it to the body while I wait for the proper one to arrive. TBH, doesnt look like I will get much of a chance to use it based on the weather over the next week.
Hi Oliver, as a Gold member you have full use of Drone Scene and Good 2 Go. So you can plan for your future flights and check on the weather for the day you intend to fly.
There is a great deal packed into the programes so, if you need any help, feel free to contact me and I’ll do my best!
Sadly yes, this isn’t the best time of year to start a new hobby that requires good weather. It does though give you extra time to get on the DJI Simulator and to strengthen your skills.
