Harbor Freight Tools that don't suck

The visual perspective aloft is entirely different than on the ground. I bought mine for crop monitoring and I'll need the FAA commercial drone pilot's license as well because I'll use it for commercial purposes. I've already been approached by a commercial grower than wants me to film their planting and harvesting for their website.

I didn't get a DJI because of the built in Geofencing. Geofencing is a program in the computer memory that excludes drone flight around any airport, from the little farm strip to the big commercial one. So long as it's an FAA registered air strip, the done won't operate within a set distance. The Autel drones don't have that and leave safe and legal operation to the user. I have enough regulations to follow without more, so I passed on it.

Yes, I really liked the airborn perspective on my place, he flew it all over with different views.

Yeah, his is not a DJI either, don't remember what it was though

As a pilot who often flies out of a wide variety of airports, including small grass strips, I sure hope you actually follow this regulation (as well as the 400' altitude restriction). I like coming home to my wife and kids after a flight.

They're only $40, but I don't know if they have a phone home function.

I will. In fact I'm taking the FAA commercial drone pilot test. I'll be using it commercially. Not a kid and no disrespectful of others.Now we can return to 'normal' programming.

I didn't know that. Wonder how the customers rate them? Hopefully better than the 'electronic fly swatters' that don't work....:laughing:

I've had good luck with the electronic fly swatters actually. Always keep a couple in the camper.

I find a sticky strip (molasses impregnated wax paper) works the best for me.

You guys need to invest in a Bug-a-Salt gun! I have 2 with the laser sights, they work great!
