first flight with the dji drone

well i had my first flight with my drone this morning, its really cool to fly i went up and did a spin around of the farm and then went over nears some of the cattle maybe tonight or something i can get the video up.. the only thing that kinda spokes me is the landing but the rest seems fine cant wait to get some tractors working in the field videos and combines

    I have really been thinking about getting one lately. I would think that $1000 is way to much, and $200 way to cheap. Would love to be able to see what is going on on the other side of the creek without driving down and unlocking the gate.......or sit uphill and view the drone.

Not to mention the Feds are involved now..

I'm still waiting for the one with thermal imaging and armed with a mini 14. Now that would be useful.

my little 4 min video is loading on youtube now.. idk how long it will take to load. its on 8% right now and seems to be loading slow so hang in there

I seen on the news were a fella shot one down, it ended up being a government drone.  I guess the fella said his daughter were in there bathing suits and the drone just stayed there, thinking it was a nut job running it and they were looking at his daughters he shot it down.  The arrested him, not sure whats going on with it now.

well it was storming so bad last night and lighting so i shut the computer down just in case.idk what lighting could do.. and i just got home and turned the computer on. maybe not much longer

a year or so ago a man come to buy a picker and we got to talking about stuff and he said he hunted coyotes at night and i asked what kinda light he had andhe said he has  infrared or just a night vision scope that he used he showed me a picture and it was very clear. and i was all excited about it and i asked what it cost and he said around 4500 lol and i guess ill never get one

I live in a "NO DRONE ZONE".

I noticed on the news a few days ago that Trump signed an EO making Blaire, NE a NO DRONE ZONE. Now I understand why!!   LOL

Went in for a visit discussing tax status as advised I had to "wait five years" for ag status on land I purchased a few years back, and even homestead status, "official" asked if cows were on property that was grandfathered in. When he showed me their latest satellite shot and asked where the cows were, did not like it when I told him they were in the trees and I also pointed out the viewing was dated. Actually told him the approximate date of the shot because of season (lack of leaves), vehicle in driveway that I no longer drove and where I used to put out round bales.
Grew up where they simply drove the roads and looked for cattle and folks would get busted by bad fences that were a dead giveaway.
Eventually had status changed by trying again the next year and the prior fella had been removed from his position. New rep. dropped the bomb that they were buying drones to both verify cattle on property, plus look at burn piles where folks were adding feed sacks and/or house garbage on burn piles where only "organics" are allowed.
Nothing you can do about gov't drones as they will always have "just cause" to use them.
They have many good uses but when it comes to who owns the air above a property, "they" will ALWAYS win . . . .
