Mavic helps emergency services update

[Howdeedoodee]

I've been helping the emergency services search for a missing boy in Nottingham with my DJI Mavic 4k GPS Drone.
So Sad for the parents, the TV station has just interviewed me on camera asking what happened, there will be a full report on Nottingham TV tonight, many people have been to sign a petition to get fences put up because this area of the river is lethal in the winter when the water is at its highest and strongest.
This is just part of 2 hours of search video.

Awesome! Drones are a great asset for things like this. I'm a member of the local rescue squad and we assist in searches plus we've done post tornado damage assessment. One thing I do that works out pretty good is to cast my iPad to a flat screen TV with Apple TV. That way I can concentrate on flying and someone else watches the video feed.
