    Air 3 A sunniy day at Pendle Hill, Lancashire

    Good morning to all- I do so love seeing the British videos posted here. I especially enjoy seeing the little white dots scattered about the pastures and fields. I imagine this was quite a wild place in the far-gone times. thank you for the post- most enjoyable. you all be safe and keep well- Ed

    benefits of flying mini drone for photo work

    Good afternoon to all- It seems that here lately a number of my sold and published articles have used photos taken by my Mini 2 drones, The photo equipment on the Mini 2 is quite adequate for most magazine photo use, and the little drone allows me to approach and shoot people/animals without...

    NEW FEMALE VOICE

    Good morning to all- I noticed that new voice also. Interesting. Personally, I would prefer a Yoda voice for the drone- you know, something like, "Battery low- return to home, you must..." you all be safe and keep well- Ed

    Alabama Gulf Coast

    Tizlor- it seems I just got back from eating lunch out at the Causeway- good food for sure. I've gotten shots of gators, commercial fishermen pulling crab traps on the bay, lots of different birds, and in winter when the water in the bay is low, you can spot several old dead sailing ships...

    Alabama Gulf Coast

    Good morning- This is a good place for flying drones- lots of very interesting wildlife and water to see, and except for military bases and other obvious "no fly zones" pretty wide open for drone flying. The Causeway is a great place to fly and see, and Dauphin Island is also a cool place for...

    Nice, calm flight- with a slight crash at the end...

    Good morning to all- I think I simply used the wrong control stick- I meant to ease a bit to the side and instead, I eased a bit to the rear. I take off and land the drone from a fairly restricted area, so the landing and take off tolerances are pretty limited. No harm done- no foul, I do love...

    Nice, calm flight- with a slight crash at the end...

    Good evening to all- Lately, I've been flying my little rc planes and neglecting my drones, so today to took one of my Mini 2s and flew it to the train tracks- about 2000 yards in one direction and then flew back over and went to see the biggest local fishing pond- about 2000 yards in the other...

    Air 2 Northern AZ sunset

    Good morning to all- to the OP- Is that anywqhere near Falgstaff? I think northern Arizona is one of the best places I've ever vsitied- beaten only by the White Mountains of eastern Arizona- which may very well be the BEST place I've ever visited. Good photo work- thank you- you all be safe...

    Yet another benefit of flying my drone...

    Good morning to all- I can't help it-- I'm a retired English teacher so... In fact, the proper form would be " to her and me" because those are the correct objective case forms of the pronoun. You need the objective case to serve as the object of the preposition "to". And to be honest, I do...

    Yet another benefit of flying my drone...

    Good afternoon to all- I am most pleased to find others on this drone forum who also value fly fishing. but it's hardly surprising- minds of a certain high level tend to function alike... During the covid lockdown I spent much of my time building fly rods I reckon I made at least one fly rod of...

    Yet another benefit of flying my drone...

    Good evening to all- MS Coast- Brother, I got my three weight ready to go- got a white foam body popper that is dynamite on big bream- of all species. And umanbean- a "titty bream" is a big old bream too big to hold in one hand- you have to hold it up against your chest- or titty if you're so...

    Yet another benefit of flying my drone...

    Good morning to all- so I sent the little Mini2 up this morning for a quick neighborhood fly around and look-see. I have been flying my little rc planes lately, and I must say, flying rc planes really makes one appreciate the ease and control of a good drone. Anyway, I flew the drone over one of...

    GPS lock.... from high-rise... after take off?

    Good afternoon to all- Without getting into the whys and why nots of launching and retrieving a drone from a balcony- I have done this very thing- halfway successfully. First, I hand held the drone- a Mini 2- out over the rail and it launched perfectly. Flew well and I brought it back to the...

    Favorite flying X 2

    Good afternoon to all- GFields, I respectfully disagree. Many of the "rules" that are formulated for drone use as well as many other specific activities are placed to control and limit people. I have stated my feelings on BVLOS and other topics here previously- I won't stir up a dust storm by...
