Ideas for drone formation flying?

Wingman for DJI Drones all the way!

‎Wingman For DJI

‎Wingman is flight app that makes DJI drone follow with another automatically. After auto follow been activated, regardless of leader's movement direction is the follower would always maintain a relative position with leader. Wingman could let user enjoy formation flight with your drone mates...

Have I told you recently... YOU ARE THE MAN!

I was just reading something today and this reminded me of it 526 glittering drones form beautiful 3-D images in futuristic show

I think those are Arduino, but still very cool.

Imagine 526 collective drones doing SAR at the same time and reporting back to a single screen. Talk about panorama. You could get the whole state of Rhode Island in one image.

Thanks Rob! I kinda knew that though! LOL

Just wish I was nearby so I could put my Mavic up in the swarm as well.

It’s gonna be one for the ages. Either that or the Titanic. Lol

This app is only available on the App Store for iOS devices.

 

[BD0G]

Thats the only downside. It would be alot of work for the developer to port it over to Android. I was on the beta for the iOS version.

 

[BD0G]

Perhaps reach out to the developer and ask pretty please with sugar on top?

Here is the thread Build and released a iOS app for DJI drone flight formation

Minimum vertical spacing of 20 ft and horizontal spacing of 20 feet?

Safe, but probably a bit too spaced for Apocalypse Now footage.
It’s got to be as dangerous as flying a Huey cobra over ’nam in the ‘60s or nothing [emoji51][emoji14]

 

[RCdancer]

This is going to be so awesome that I think it will become the signature climax for all DSAR training. ?

Man, that lead drone better fly well, or else... swarm leader fail starts at 2:08

Edit: Rob would be the ladybug

 

[RCdancer]

Rob will be the lead drone so if it goes south we can all blame him for the carnage.

Wait, doesn’t he do repairs? Sounds like conflict of interest to me!

Look at UgCS They are supporting multiple drones in a mission.
Plan the mission on a PC/Mac - upload to the aircraft(s), fly the mission / show

(Also perfect for mapping, facade scans or even SAR missions)

Have a look.

Yes - If it works well we will need to investigate it for SAR missions.

If it works well

Never had had any problems with all of our aircrafts.
