You guys cost me money
« Reply #-1 on: May 24, 2018, 08:23:41 PM »
I must admit, seeing you folks with your grills and gadgets over the years (here and other forums I have frequented) has hit me in the pockets hard :P

Thanks to Agustine, I have ordered a drone. I have been watching MANY videos on YouTube to review different models and finally decided on a Mavic Air. I'll have it next week and might get to go play with it over the weekend. I want to have it follow me on the my scooter and catch me and the better half in the frame. I am super excited to give it a whirl! I wanted the Autel Evo but only God above knows when that will be released so the Mavic will have to do. Time will tell if it lives up to the hype!

I'll post a video once I make one with it.

Drones on autopilot? My initial reaction is somewhere between "Hold my beer and watch this" and "What could possibly go wrong?" (but it still sounds pretty cool)

Just sayin'...

I'm with you there. Discussions here are in part what led me to purchase my MAK 2 Star and then this character Augustine has me pining for a drone. Well he at least reignited that idea. Couple that with visiting this site in the morning before eating anything has also been a source of some dang would I love some of that right now moments.

AND make sure you understand the FAA requirements. I understand there are some but have yet to look them up.

You should also check your local\city rules. They  do not control the national air space but can stop you from taking off and landing on city property. There are many rules from state to state and it can get confusing  ??? ???

Yeah, I will check all the rules beforehand. There are apps that can tell you if you're in a safe fly area so I'll download one to my phone.

Just don't use B4UFLY Mobile App. It was made by the FAA and is the worst one out there.
 Airmap app...has a lot of nice detail and will be part of the LAANC system when it rolls out this summer.

Hover is also a good one.
