Mood: More kiting !!!

Dronkiteoholik ......


Yep .... I got a drone ... and it got me to whole new level !!!!...... After so many years watching flags and trees I start to look for more when driving ...... New places that will look awesome from above ..... All that scouting for new places to kite will pay off , because I know now where to go with my drone to get some nice video .....
My best friend got me a small Star Wars drone for a birthday in October and I was training since mostly inside my apartment , crushing it multiple times . Now I got some serious 4K capable drone with very important follow mode that we all know what I will use for !!!!! .... lol ....
After receiving drone and reading forums and asking friends ( thanks Ron ) I got some extra batteries, extra props and whole bunch of staff that surely I will need ... lol .... and now 5 flights later I am dronkiteoholik......
My 2 first flight below in full HD ( to watch it in HD you need to go to YouTube )

Very cool Kober! I get those views of downtown Indianapolis all the time first hand since I'm in commercial roofing. I like to think of myself as a fat batman that only save people from leaks not bad guys

I probably mentioned it before but I love your house. You can't beat footage from a drone. I wish I knew how to fly one. I got a model areoplane for my 13th birthday but on takeoff it flew straight up like a rocket and came down just as quick and that was that.

Very nice video from Barbour Pond.
I hope you registered your drone.
You got your moneys worth with that setup. Very stable and nice telephoto lens. I tried flying drones manually but gave up after destroying 3 of them.

As for the follow mode. We had a discussion about that at our flying field. Its a great feature as long as there is no one else in the area.

ssayre ..... lol .... I must be a super Hero too .... Doing this cold weekend many frozen pipes crack ..... and I was saving my clients from flooding theirs houses ....

RedSky ....... not my house ..... lol ... It was some building in a park .... Would love to move from my Apt to something like that ..... Drons with GPS are so easy to fly ..... way easier the helis or planes ...

danger dan ..... registered .... first thing after buying ..... I crash my drone on first day when playing with follow mode ... I did not realize it will need few more seconds to stop after I did ..... 2 props broken ..... not bad .....

HREERIDER ...... As per FAA requirements ..... I need to fly it in line of sight ..... but I definitely I want to get racing drone for more speed and fun flying ....

skimtwashington ....... editing .... will be up in a week or so ....


Here is some Tug Hill photos for FB users .... :
