ckf Posted September 26, 2016 Posted September 26, 2016 Today Rob and I both got our drones in the air to video the fall foliage here in northern Vermont. Peak color is still another week or so away, but the colors are starting to pop. Rob's Video My video 2 Quote
Mileage Psycho Posted September 27, 2016 Posted September 27, 2016 Nice fall videos, one of the maples in the backyard is just starting to change. I saw a cool fall scene today when about 50 migrating Broad winged hawks were flying in a kettle above the house and the woods. Hey John you should make this the official fall video and picture thread Quote

It all depends on interference and what you have for obstructions between the controller and the drone. With OK conditions it's about a mile. With perfect conditions I've been 2 miles and the reception was still perfect. The one I have sells for about $700 now. Quote

What happens if it loses signal does it just come back or how does that work. I like water so would be using it just like you in that sense. Quote

ckf Posted October 7, 2016 Author Posted October 7, 2016 Here's a video Rob made this morning showing the colors in his neck of the woods. It's going to be featured on tonight's newscast on WBZ in Boston Quote
USA Donating Member Zambroski Posted October 7, 2016 USA Donating Member Posted October 7, 2016 Nice. Hey, you guys get an altitude reading on those? Looks like ~300 feet. How high can you fly them? Quote

Yes, it tells you how high you are from your takeoff point. When you download the flight data after the flight it will tell you the actual altitude. The firmware allows you to fly up to 1600' above your takeoff point. The FAA recommends 400' so you don't interfere with regular airplanes. Quote
