I've had a Mini V1 since 2020 and here are my uses:
* Fun Flights
* Aerial photography of yard projects
* Towing fishing lures way beyond furthest castable distance
* Fireworks videos
* Hiking Scouting
* Surveillance drone ( Caught some motorbikers trespassing on property and tracked them back to house )
* Firewatch
* Pester folks safely from patio
- eweise 3y agoHow do you drop the lure?
- GenerocUsername 3y agoI put a small metal 'basket' that I put the float into. It's a fine-tuning thing to allow the line to tow, but 'pop out' with a bit of extra tension. So we fly it out 200m and then lock the line and it pops out of basket. Risky, but very fun
- eweise 3y agoThanks. I'm going to try it
- GenerocUsername 3y agoPro-tip, fly up and out to keep the line safely below the propellors. There is a huge risk of the propellors grabbing the line and losing the drone far from shore, but in our outing we did a dozen casts with out issue
- prmoustache 3y agoI am pretty sure you broke some laws in the process.
- capableweb 3y agoHow fun would life be if you didn't break some laws sometimes? Only two rules: A) don't be mean to or hurt others (humans or animals) B) only commit one crime at a time Following these rules, even lawbreaking can be made into a fun past time without losing out morally :)
- GenerocUsername 3y agoI don't think I broke a single law in these examples. All flights were in legal airspace. No flights resulted in injury or property damage.
