WayneMahler Posted February 19, 2018 Report Posted February 19, 2018 I'm wondering how your going to fly that in your shop to make videos with ? Iguanadon and meflick 2 Quote
bandaideman Posted February 20, 2018 Report Posted February 20, 2018 With a new drone now you have a new delivery service for you puzzles to work on. Iguanadon 1 Quote
kmmcrafts Posted February 20, 2018 Report Posted February 20, 2018 I got one of those for my son to play around with.. he did a commercial for somebody using it to video.. really fun to play around with.. Something is really strange about your pictures.. unless this wasn't done recently.. Where is the snow? Having winter without snow is like eating cereal without milk GrampaJim and Lucky2 2 Quote

Iggy will probably have the drone hover over the saw to keep blowing the dust off of the line. Iguanadon, meflick and WayneMahler 3 Quote

Having winter without snow is like eating cereal without milk Winter without snow is the way it should be... beach living is meant to be enjoyed year round. ;-) It is a fun toy. It's pretty much a beginner model as far as being able to fly it easily. I've been impressed with the quality of the camera. I still have some tinkering to do. Those were literally my first flight photos. kmmcrafts, Lucky2 and WayneMahler 3 Quote
wombatie Posted February 20, 2018 Report Posted February 20, 2018 Happy birthday Scott, I am sure you and your drone will have many hours of fun. Marg Quote
Scrolling Steve Posted February 20, 2018 Report Posted February 20, 2018 Happy birthday, Scott !....Enjoy the drone ! Quote
meflick Posted February 20, 2018 Report Posted February 20, 2018 Happy belated birthday Scott. Enjoy the new toy BUT don't let it keep you out of the shop - especially with these unseasonably warm weather this week. I keep thinking about getting one of these for my hubby - haven't pulled the trigger yet. One reason is that we are not that far from the Knoxville airport and planes do fly near here sometimes. that adds in the other issue of registering with the FAA as I am pretty sure we are within the mileage zone that would be required. What one did you get? Keep us updated on how you like it. Quote

What one did you get? Keep us updated on how you like it. It is fun! I am starting with a "beginner" version, see link below. It's below the weight requirement for having to register with the FAA, but I don't know the airport rules since I'm not near one. Although this one says it isn't great in windy conditions, I think I'm going to take it down to the beach and give it a try today as it's not windy. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01D9XC2LY/ref=ox_sc_sfl_title_10?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=AQY8OJROX79GF Quote
meflick Posted February 20, 2018 Report Posted February 20, 2018 Thanks for sharing that info. Iggy. Will check it out. It's definitely windy here today - both yesterday and today but I'll take 70+ weather in middle/late February so no complaints! Enjoy your day. Quote
Sycamore67 Posted February 20, 2018 Report Posted February 20, 2018 I think the drones look fun. However, I have privacy concerns about them flying over my house. It is a technological marvel with the ability to be invasive. Quote

Just be sure to bury the bodies in your backyard at night so the drones can't see you. :-) Quote
