Playing With Drone

[Meriachee]

The rangefinder is very inaccurate over water. The drone will have a hard time detecting altitude. Just sayin.

Picked up a phantom3 adv, off the BAY last year new in box for under $500
Not quite bleeding edge but plenty of drone for the average weekend video shoots. Started playing with Litchi this weekend, allows for some very easy shoot setups.
As for flying the things, these are easier to fly than cheaper quads in auto mode, just make sure you know how to switch to manual if you have to.

Very frustrating for New Orleans sailors.

Cough Cough...
And don't tell anyone about the safest sailing areas of the Central Gulf.
You left out Diamondhead Marina . The tallest mast is our boat. We live 3 miles from our Boat.

The outlet from the bayou is protected by the seawall

Now I see why you are not too worried about a Hurricane Hole.

Now, when you can maintain/clean our Wind transducer with a Drone, count me in!

Here's a dock picture for you, taken today about 20 miles from Kloudie, in Slidell. Not from a drone, though.
