Like our much beloved RS I just cannot stop myself spending money. I already have a drone which I bought off one of my kids years ago but it drives me up the wall, it requires a phone to use as a screen, the charging and assembly just puts me off using it. The camera is also only 1080p - remembering that I am now the proud owner of a 4K camcorder
Yesterday I was browsing Amazon when I came across the latest version of this drone in a combo package with a controller with built in screen, three batteries, case, spare props etc. All for $1498.
Ordered it yesterday about midday, this morning it arrived.
At the moment I am watching videos about using it while the batteries charge. It has far more features than my old one.
In Australia these small drones (under 250gm) for recreational use do not require a licence or registration though there are rules about its use (largely ignored), however it is not wise to fly them near real aircraft or over Poland.
Bruce, you need to start “auditing” get yer ass and yer drone down to some public installation, wind up an employee or two then, put the footage on youtube. Obviously, you will have to base yourself in a prominent position where you can be seen and challenged, otherwise there would be no point
Alas I don’t have a donkey but there are rules for flying drones but as I shall be using mine when I am in the middle of nowhere most of them are irrelevant.
Sounds great Bruce, my drone was a bit on the cheap side and you need your phone to record videos, which is a right pain in the but.
I did buy a smaller one with a console and screen (Hubsan) but found it so unmanageable and crap, even the camera was poor quality.
Folding Drone, easier to transport when folded.
Bruce not many have the monitor built into the control unit which mine didn’t. So I gave it to my son
in that photo of it hovering in the room, one false move and you may need a new TV as well
I saw an advert for a drone which was designed to carry mobile phones, which I guess may produce better pictures (unless you spend a pretty penny on a decent one). No idea how one is actually meant to start, pause or stop the recordings mid flight🤷🏻‍♂️. How long can a mobile actually record footage before being out of memory?
