RE: Sailing Sunday

Well I'm sold on DJI as a company for drone stuff, but there might be others. What I like about them is the software. It seems to work pretty well. The Mavic Air doesn't have as much range as the Mavic Pro, but the size is just so appealing for what I do, and really, 1.2 miles is more than enough range for me.

Sort:  

oh wow 1.2 miles is the range??? That is incredible. I saw on Facebook one time a new company was showing off their drone, and you attached something to like your arm or something like that, and the drone will follow you. And you can have it be parallel with you circle around you, etc. Pretty cool stuff. I can't remember the brand or anything.

Yeah they have some technology built into this one called "active track" that you can draw a little box around yourself and it will follow, or profile slide along side you, etc. It all works great until a tree or something comes between you and the drone and it loses sight of you. But out in the open, it works pretty well!

oh wow that is pretty awesome! :)
