Originally from Penzance in Cornwall, but now living near the town of Maidstone in Kent, Jimmy has been an integral part of the show since March 2024. He enjoys working with four other presenters, which adds to his enthusiasm and dedication. With a passion for drone flying that took off in August 2016, Jimmy has amassed a great talent in FPV quadcopters, and his collection includes a custom-built Armattan Beaver FPV freestyle quadcopter, DJI Air, Armattan Tadpole 2.5-inch freestyle quadcopter, and a Shendrone Squirt cinewhoop.

He describes it as a way to break free from the everyday grind, to live in the moment, and to push his own limits. The thrill of exploring breathtaking locations, capturing stunning aerial views, and sharing these experiences with the incredible FPV community is what fuels his passion.

Being from Cornwall, it's no surprise that Jimmy's favorite flying spots are the stunning Cornish coastline, including the iconic Bedruthan Steps, Logan Rock, and Tintagel.

If given the chance to fly anywhere in the world, Jimmy would revisit the West Indies, a place he holds dear from his childhood. The idea of capturing the pristine beaches and lush tropical landscapes from above fills him with excitement and nostalgia.

Jimmy is also passionate about pushing fpv forward and helping to get it noticed more than a niche hobby, which is slowly happening with commercial advertising, films and with more off the shelf products from companies like Dji.

As a presenter on 'The Drone Show Live,' Jimmy loves being part of a selfless community that helps people grow and share their aerial photography passion.

Welcome to Patrick's world, a passionate drone enthusiast hailing from the historic and beer-celebrated town of Leuven, Belgium. Born in 1974, Patrick's journey into the skies began in 2016, when his wife gifted him a toy RC helicopter for his birthday. This sparked his fascination with flying, which soon expanded to include drones. By 2018, Patrick had his first camera drone, the first-generation DJI Mavic Pro, affectionately nicknamed "Grote Vogel" or "Big Bird." His drone adventures quickly turned into a delightful mix of humor and awe as he captured stunning bird's-eye views of his travels.

From his early days of camping in tents to his adventures in a camper since 2005, Patrick has always been on the move. His love for motorcycles, which began at age 16, complements his passion for exploration. With a camera seemingly glued to his hands, Patrick has been documenting his journeys long before drones became part of his story.

In 2018, Patrick expanded his creative toolkit with the DJI Osmo Pocket, allowing him to blend ground and aerial footage seamlessly. Despite Belgium's restrictive drone laws at the time, Patrick's determination led him to obtain a French pilot license, enabling him to legally fly in several European countries.

The introduction of European drone laws in 2021 marked a new chapter for Patrick. He swapped his "Big Bird" for a DJI Mini 2, "Kleine Vogel" or "Little Bird," relishing the newfound freedom to capture night shots and more creative perspectives. His fleet continued to grow with the DJI Mini 3 Pro, "Breed Smoel" or "Wide-Mouthed," and later, the DJI Action 4 and DJI Osmo Pocket 3. In February 2025, Patrick added the DJI Air 3s, humorously named "Big Mac," to his collection, thanks to his wife's amusing nickname choice.

Patrick's favorite filming locations are those with breathtaking mountains, hills, and historical landmarks, which regularly feature in his videos. His debut on the Drone Seekers International livestream introduced him to a global community of drone enthusiasts, forming friendships that have enriched his journey. Now, a cherished guest on "Drone Show Live," Patrick shares his passion and lively spirit with fellow aficionados.

While Patrick's busiest seasons are spring and summer, when he's often on the road with his camper or motorcycle, he balances his adventures with work in safety training. Teaching others how to operate forklifts, cranes, and aerial platforms, Patrick seizes every opportunity to fly his drones in captivating locations.

Welcome to the world of Budd, a relaxed and knowledgeable drone enthusiast whose journey into the skies began long before drones became mainstream. A retired professional from the computer industry, Budd spent years immersed in technology before discovering a new passion that would quite literally elevate his perspective.

​

Budd’s adventure into drone flying started back in 2014, when he purchased his very first drone. What began as simple curiosity quickly turned into a lasting obsession. One flight was all it took. The thrill of seeing familiar landscapes from above, the blend of technology and creativity, and the constant evolution of drone capabilities had him hooked. Fast forward to today, and Budd now has more than a few drones in the family—each one a testament to years of learning, flying, and enjoying the art of aerial exploration.

​

Based in Oswego, Illinois, Budd enjoys retirement alongside his wife and their two cats, who no doubt keep a watchful eye on his ever-growing collection of flying companions. With no kids and plenty of time to indulge his interests, Budd embraces the freedom that retirement brings—balancing quiet moments at home with time spent in the air capturing the world from above.

What truly defines Budd is his long-standing love for technology and how naturally it transitioned into drone flying. His background gives him a deep appreciation for how far the industry has come, and every flight is both a celebration of innovation and a reminder of why he fell in love with drones in the first place. For Budd, it’s not about chasing trends—it’s about enjoying the journey, one flight at a time.

Whether he’s flying for the joy of it, admiring the view, or simply enjoying the hum of a drone lifting off, Budd represents what drone flying is all about: curiosity, passion, and the simple pleasure of seeing the world from a new angle.
