Title: Drones
Post by: lazylivin on October 25, 2016, 21:36:14
 Anybody out there into drones?  I just bought one I'm excited about. It is the DJI phantom standard. they were on clearance for $369 been  at Newegg.com.  Been wanting one for a while, couldn't pass  up on that price. Looks like they're dumping stock for a new model.  I think it'll be a couple weeks before it arrives.  looking forward to it. If you're into them and have taken some videos let's see them

I will dig some up or make new video for ya.

For us, the photo aspect takes a back burner. We spend most of our time practicing maneuverability and control. And repair lol

The one you are picking up is a great camera platform. And you are correct, they are preparing for the new model.

I think Brian needs an underwater drone to zip around the frag tanks and make videos for our viewing pleasure!

That would be cool. Especially when on vacation interacting with the fish

I have a nice remote GoPro you could use under the racks that can be controlled remotely via WiFi by cell... I have thought about setting it up in my tank to watch the fish from my phone upstairs when they can't see me.

I've got a FPV drone on the way, a fully autonomous drone mid build, and a pile of others.

I would be terrified to fly my drone around a pool lol... it's a cheap one and unstable I've almost lost it every time I have attempted to fly it

This DJI is pretty safe and easy to fly.

I saw your Phantom on my way out the door last Saturday. I just bought a Phantom 4 a couple months ago, only had it out a couple times because of the winter weather. I'm thinking about getting my Part 107 certification so that I don't have to deal with a lot of the laws requiring you to notify airports and such.
