Any N.I. flyers here or just me?

Not a N.I. drone flyer but going to be in the area later in June. Is there anything I should do to prepare for flying there? I know the area well...been through several times but any thoughts on good flying spots?

Yes (Bangor). I think there are a couple of other NI members on here too. I've only met one other drone user when out and about. My batteries were done and I was heading back to my car and I met another guy just launching his Mavic so I stopped for a quick chat. The only other drones I've seen have been a toy drone in our town centre park and a Spark following the line of the river in a local linear park mostly used by dog walkers and joggers.

Plenty of open space to be found depending on where you're staying , but The Mournes, North Coast, beaches and open countryside give you plenty of scope. Just keep your drone with you at all times in case an opportunity arises. Some ideas on Youtube, including examples from places you really shouldn't fly but apply a bit of common sense and you'll be OK. No NI-specific rules as such, other than follow the drone code.

Thanks for all the replies, looking forward to seeing NI from above.

Yes, Hive in Newry is your most likely bet. The lads there (James and Sergiu) are very helpful and if they don't have one they will probably be able to get one for you. They were able to repair my Mavic pro in about 4 days, great considering they had to source parts.

Although it doesnt look it, its a standard micro USB plug so any phone lead will do.
