About Me:

I am keen video maker and photographer. I love flying UAVs and also love messing about and trying out new things. Electric bikes cameras that sort of stuff. Have to remind myself I'm a responsible adult not a kid...


Please tell us a bit about your UAV interest

Flown UAVs and making aerial videos for over 6 years now. Started with draganfly quad and a casio camera, had a couple of xaircraft and i got a little husan to practice with. I am a bit out of flying practice and have only flown manual mode. Some old videos are youtube under 'Dirk Schooner'. So I am interested again now that gps and sensors etc have made things a lot easier. UK weather is not the best for flying and I kind of gave up on it. Now I want to build a 6 or 8 and gimbals and stuff and have a crack at doing some 'pro' video. I think this is really exciting area and am looking forward to the future.
