Rattydude77 · Feb 13, 2020

I travel light so the wife can pack more but with the drones we carry our own

Wouldn't say your over doing it with a $2000+ investment but that's gotta be a lot to travel with.

I admire your commitment! I generally ignore any hassles for something I love to do too! I have everything in a case that I can grab and go so I carry it just about everywhere, always ready to fly.

My wife loves me flying the drone and taking videos of the family, but is to afraid to fly it even with all the features. I love using it to take videos of my daughter. Wish they had home videos like that when I was growing up!

That’s not to much @Rattydude77 . I keep the
whole back seat full.

And fly from inside.

No matter where I stop.
Always have my 5 year old VO with me and it might just hit us to stop and wet a line. ?

that is quite the set-up! I still would be concerned about sitting inside of a metal box while flying.

Getting lazy bro ?
I do a lot when doing something that I got to be around stuff
to beable to watch the drone. I just did that for a thread where they were saying you couldn’t. Did one where they said you could take off from a vehice. Was all I did in my 90 GMC from the bed. Would do precision landings in it.
And it was all steel. This Ford I cant though. Is Aluminum .
Go figure.

HA! "me, getting back on topic" All my gear is with my bird in the same storage case, I don't think traveling would be an issue. the OP, has a lot of gear "more than I do" but when its all for pleasure then it does not ever seem like a problem to tote around.
