Maybe when I have more time on my hands... I'm with you all the way on this, Bill. I DO have the time - so perhaps I will! ;-) Is there any specialist drone Usenet group of which you are aware? I woke this morning from some profound dreaming about drones, thanks to this thread (and the great video). Can't remember the details though . Thanks, I think ... geoff The time has come for you to buy a drone. I recommend the DJI Mavic Air 2 (799) with the Fly more bundle, $988. And... if you don't already have an acceptable "smart phone", you'll need to throw on the costs associated with that, also. There is that. I am using a replaced, and now repurposed, and long paid for iPhone 6S+ which I had kept as a spare, but I could have used my, both also long paid for, current iPhone 8 Plus, or my iPad Pro. Do you currently have a smart phone, or tablet, iOS, or Android? If so which one? -- Regards, Savageduck |

The smoke around here had eased up, and the temperature was a bit more tolerable this morning, so I got out to fly my Mavic Air 2, and to share a little different part of California. This is along the San Antonio River, just North of where I live. https://photos.smugmug.com/Air-2-Work/i-7543LGJ/0/4b40ee55/1920/San%20Antonio-2-1920.mp4 Very nice. |

I'm fairly sure that *parking right on a road junction* here in the UK would be a road traffic violation! Oddly, I don't see that listed here! https://www.lawdonut.co.uk/personal/...penalty-points (I very much enjoyed the trip! ;-) ) "MS10 Leaving a vehicle in a dangerous position"? Ha! :-) That would, no doubt, be 'just the ticket'! ;-) (Pun intended!) Well spotted, Ken. |

Does the drone automatically look down to see the landing site? I had moved the gimbal to look down to check on position, but there are some auto functions. I was wondering why the landing mat didn't have a "D" on it for Drone rather than a H for helicopter. There was a dyslexic proof reader in the print shop. -- Regards, Savageduck |
