A drone will rarely be an effective way of setting a rope in a tree.

React to wind speed as in hold its ground? You need GPS for that, which mine has, but I'm not sure which models from other brands on the lower end have. I know the DJI Phantoms have GPS ability and they cost significantly less than mine. I've flown mine in gusts up to a recorded 34mph at...

I have the Inspire Pro.... $7k package haha.

That was the first one 3 years ago. I don't really know how much I spent fixing it, few hundred dollars maybe.

I'm laughing about the flying through a crotch you can't throw through. I'm guessing I've had enough crashes to not be interested in the idea.

Setting a throw line would suck, based on my drone experience. If the crotch is too tight to throw/launch a bag, it'll be tough to fly a drone through. Don't forget to register your drone, up to $250K in fines and 3 years in jail if you don't!

If I lose signal, essentially flies back and lands where it took off (home point). The main thing that would keep it from getting back to the home point would be running out of power. If the power gets low enough, it will land wherever it is rather than falling out of the sky. As it flies...

Set two new records today, farthest distance from where I took off (2.36 miles) and fastest speed (65.5mph). That's bookin it! I had a pretty decent tail wind on the way out, which made the trip back in harder/slower.

Thanks. When Heather saw that part she said, "Now you're just playing."

The focus on the drone's camera is a bit soft; guessing it needs to be calibrated regularly (interchangeable lens), but I'm looking into that. <iframe width="853" height="480" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/TftXSADaN20" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

I got mine up to a little over 51mph while climbing at 6.2mph/545fpm this afternoon chasing a train down for some footage. My drone Friday afternoon... Ive put almost 5 hours and over 42 miles on it.

That gave me an idea for a video.... attacking the drone with a backpack blower! :lol: It's rated for 10m/s= 22mph. I've had it up to ~45mph. Its max speed is listed at 22m/s= ~49mph. For giggles, I flew it from my house to my property and my parents house, a little over 2 miles away, and...

When I flew over the truck I recorded the location then told the drone to circle it anti clockwise at a given radius and speed. It's one of the autonomous flight modes. I can set waypoints for it fly on its own, follow the controller (like if I was in a vehicle or piece of equipment, and a...

This is what I wanted to do with my first drone 3 years ago, but the technology was pretty far outside my budget. The whole system is put together by one company (DJI), which really helps the gimbal take out so much motion from the drone flying around. Being able to see what you're recording...

My longest flight has been 13 minutes and I landed with an indicated 30% battery life remaining. Another flight was 7 seconds longer and I landed with 28% remaining. On those two flights combined I covered just under 3.25 miles of flight distance. So far the setup cost about $7K. That...

First video I've put on YouTube from the drone I got Friday. Very quick and dirt job on the coloring/post editing... all automated in FCPX. Flying the drone is cake (this is my third), getting the most out of the camera system will require some effort. The first part is looking towards the...

Yes ma'am, that's the plan. My insurance agent is talking to the underwriter tomorrow about getting it covered against loss and liability. I'm going to look into the commercial aspect of it (FAA) and possibly see if there's money to be made with it aside from my own use.

I bought my first three years ago. The idea was for aerial videoing but the technology wasn't where it needed to be for my liking. I bought my third today which should do what I wanted to do three years ago. The second was a toy (Parrot Drone 2.0).
