Do you have an FVP setup on it so you survey an area beyond visual range?
I can think of many a time, when sending a drone up a long canyon to have a look would have saved a lot of time and effort.
If I could figure out how to get one that could pull samples, I could do all my prospecting from camp.
Drones scare me to be honest.
Or should i say the potential threat Drones can have on us all scares me.
I've seen videos of guns mounted on Drones. There's the first step.
If the government decides to police the public with Drones, were screwed.
That said I totally see it's positives too...
It's redefined the movie industry along with the GoPro Camara,
Just saying.
Reed,
Wow, a lot of hostility ... guess your having a bad day. I'm not about to correct each point you made except you really need a sense of humor!!
What I said is above 300' or so, MOST people would not know it was there. This statement is correct for this larger size drone. I also said let's zoom in ... I never said the Gopro had zoom, as I was zooming in my lowering the drone! Yes, that is my buddy and we had the shot all set-up ahead of time. So, you should NOT assume this is just a stranger in the middle of no-place, or that I would fly it like that with the general public.
Yes, it comes w/built-in screen. But, part of Govt. rules are that you are only to use it in line of sight.
That may be changing, hopefully. There's supposed to be new drone regulations coming down the pipe early next year.
With companies like Amazon and Google pushing the FAA so hard to allow for drone delivery, the line of sight restriction would make that impractical.
I thought you could get a part333 exemption with a "sport" pilots licensed operator, may be wrong on that though.
If so, it's far easier to attain as there is no night flight requirements and reduced minimum flight hours.
Either way it's a little extreme, in my view. I have a pilots license and fly drones and feel the only real benefit is in the understanding of controlled airspace around airports.
The parts that concern drone pilots could be learned in a one day class.
From what I've read, the new regulations for commercial use of drones under 50 lbs won't require the operator to have a pilots license.
