Hi all, a mad Welshman is in town lol. Here for fun, and your expertise when I’m stuck.
Love a bit of mountain biking (cycling) and a home mechanic/fettler/fussy tweaker. Been riding bikes all my life (55) but lost my mojo when losing some family members, so picking up the pieces so to speak… I can play drums/percussion also, well travelled, and run a local FB community page when co vid hit in 2019, and now grown with over 1300 members so far.
For the past 10yrs been doing a bit of amateur photography, and only taken it more serious the past few years. I love gigs, and attend many… photography, I cover everything, but my main enjoyment is with bands/artists/ live gigs and festivals. I been fortunate to work with some international artists as well as the UK.
For a giggle, I do a bit of TV extra work also, and have a look at Jeremy Clarksons Diddly Squat farm, series 2 episode 8 and David Beckham appears lol, well, it could be me? And the latest Tom Hardy film coming up called ‘Havoc’. You may spot me kicking off in a Detroit police station, and all for a bit of fun.
Drone wise, I’ve owned a Mavic 1, went on to owing a Mavic 2, and now just gone up to a Mavic 3 Pro. Suits my needs as a photographer, with overhead pics in mode C is all need. Just sussing out the filter lenses and seeing what works for me. Nice to meet you all, have a great weekend from sunny Wales.

Hello guys! Happy to join this group, I am an amateur photographer for a long time (since 35mm) and some drone videos captured my attention and i told myself, i want to do this, so I bought a drone and here I am! I already tried the drone in France during my camping holiday and I am impressed. New camping trip in Wales in two weeks and I look forward to fly my drone. Thank you.

A new oldie from Telford here, I have been messing with small drones for a few years (DJI Mavic Mini and DJI Neo) but only just joined this forum. Always looking for new ideas and good locations. Just got my EASA A1/A3 ticket so that I can take the drone on holiday.

Welcome @DekJN!
Don’t forget to submit a picture to our competition this month!
Welcome @DekJN!
It’s great to have you onboard.
I have a Mavic Mini too - mine is the Japanese version.
Which system did you use to get your EASA A1/A3?
The site I used was https://learningzone.eurocontrol.int/ off the Luxemburg CAA site. All in English and FREE ! Also becase my Neo is a UK one I (dosen’t have the required EU mark) I also needed a oporators ticket which was also free off Croatia. Much better than paying lots of Euro which somewant for registration.

Hi, newbie from Torquay. Just dipping my toes into this new hobby and have splashed out on a Potensic atom 2 for my first aircraft. I see most everyone going for DJI’s. Anyone have any knowledge of the Potensic?

Welcome @Dragonfly to Drone Hub!
Hello all, I’m new to drone flying having come from flying model RC aeroplanes with glow motors, many years ago now just as lithium batteries appeared in the model market.
Really liking the idea of a drone as you don’t have to be tied to certified club and thus can fly at various interesting places rather than just the same section of club sky line.
Hoping to learn some new skills for FPV flying too.

Happy New Year everyone. Having received a wonderful Christmas gift of a dji 5 pro mini drone from my three boys, I am keen to ensure that I keep everyone, including myself, safe and legal. I’m brand new to drones (but not photography). I’ve taken the CAA exam so have my Flyer and Operator ID. I’ve watched loads of Youtube videos since recieving the gift. The drone appears to be able to look after itself but I really want to make sure that I don’t put anyone at risk, that I follow the rules as well as any good practice. So anything you think may assist, I’m willing to learn. Other than the inaugural flight in the house on Christmas Day and a short flight in the back garden on the same day (I now realise I broke the rules on day one), I haven’t flown it at all due to weather conditions. I think the DroneHub map is amazing and easy to understand. I will be using the free version of DaVinci Resolve for my video editing.
