Drones on Boats
Drones on Boats
.
Hoping to do some drone flying off of our 263 this summer.
We plan on filming the kids behind the boat during their water sport activities.
I really like the Autel-Robotics X-star drone over the Phantom models.
The X-Stat is on my Amazon wish list ( May birthday ))
.
Anyone here have experience flying this (or any drone) off of their boat?
Some things to consider...

Re: Drones on Boats
Oooh nice guys! Looking forward to seeing some drone video this summer

Re: Drones on Boats
Yea I figured a practice drone..its fun to fly and you want 2 important things.
GPS and altitude hold. Plus the " return home " is good when things go weird.
Those where video screen shots. I'll do better this year on pictures.

Re: Drones on Boats
We bought Max one but he didn't fly it much. The gps return home could return where it started from and that could be a problem on a boat.lol

Not sure if you read that article, but it did mention to disable that feature on a boat.Big Block Power wrote: ↑Thu Mar 01, 2018 6:06 amWe bought Max one but he didn't fly it much. The gps return home could return where it started from and that could be a problem on a boat.lol

Funny. I was reading the requirements and it says you have to take a mini test by the FAA. It said there are questions from the private pilot written test on there.
I think I got this one covered.

I really like the thought of a waterproof drone while boating. Something like the SwellPro Splash drone is another option.
Not sure about their customer support network though & it is pricey (I can have 7 of Matt's Husban drones for one of these!)
Plus, only 16 minutes of flying time
Here it is in action...

.
Interesting how fisherman are using it to drop bait as well as to peer underwater...

(Not sure if it's BBp proof though)
