Hi FL, just a quick update.
Got all the software loaded and as the wind finally dropped off this afternoon I took the thing for it's maiden flight.
Very impressed!
I've never been one for reading manuals and I suppose I should, but conected to the Ipad it's very user friendly and self explainitory. I just have to coordinate my fingers a bit better.
The camera is just brilliant. I spotted then scared the crap out of 6 camels and 4 horses at a water point about 4 klms from the homestead. I must have got down to about 10 feet above them before they decided to do the bolt.
Then I had fun chasing a few emus for a couple of minutes
Had a bit of a look about and then just hit the "return to home" button and about 5 minutes later it landed exactly where it took off from!
Early days yet but impressed so far.
Good way to be a bit sneaky checking the bores now Steve. :Y: A nice little accessory for your other new toy.
Cheers
Doug
Spot on!! Just a shame you can fit a gun to the drone

yep...really really need a gun mounted on the thing.
Found a mob of 40 or so camels and had a hat full of fun learning to herd them with the drone.
Just created a yootoob chanel and uploading it now

I feel the drone is going to be a great help for you ...

No about 50klms away from the homestead.
Yep it will be. Apart from a great prospecting tool, the camels don't like the drone and run from it, I found I can turn them and get them running the way I want them to go.
The only thing that lets the drone down is me! But I'm getting better. One day I'll read the manual

Forgot to turn the video on for some of it and mucking about with settings washed it out a bit.

How far away were you during the chase?
Like the old joke,
As long as some one does not mistake the
drone for a crow and shoot it. :8
Out there the drone would be a fantastic bit of kit.
Nice and flat with hardly any obstructions you could
have a lot of fun and use for it.
Yes, I know the regs.

Gotta mobile call 3/4 the way thru and missed the end. Nice landing on that Nugget!

I don't like drones around my house...
But can see the advantage they would be for the country,
Being on a massive homesteads like you are,
It will come in handy for sure....
Looking forward to seeing more...

Cool video. I have learnt that I cannot adjust the washed out look of a video but if I take a screen shoot from it I can adjust the colours etc of that pic than apply those settings to the whole video. I use Cyberlink Powerdirector.
