Anyone here want to talk about First Person Drones?

Please feel free to take the piss in the other threads, just wanted to keep this to about Drones... or perhaps I'm alone in this passion?

I'd really like to learn to fly and I've a customer who'll get me to twin engine rating for 20 bags, but I think medical fitness may be an issue...
In the meantime I'm loving the drone experience and I'm considering upgrading to the (any thoughts)?

I've never had the need to spy on wimmin in the bathroom, let alone via a drone. For your business I could see the benefit in helping with site surveys

Where do you intend to use it?

I took it to where I grew up, Seale... between Farnham and Guildford. I live in flight restriction zone, so no where near here.
I've put it up at customers premises when working weekends.... quite good fun. My much younger work colleagues wanted to hunt topless sunbathers.
 
I have a biker mate who lives out that way, he works for the BBC:rolleyes: I had known him years before he confessed before that he just said IT knowing I wouldn't be interested.
My only dealing with drones was when my G'son was given one. It didn't last long before a motor burnt out and the whole thing had to be binned. I expect yours is considerably more expensive.

£450-500 buys you a 4k decent bit of kit with miles of range and +20 minute flight times... £3500 buys you something better than the Beeb use.
 
I've seen several end up in a watery grave on motobikers YT channels....look out for water.

I was talking to a guy I know at the local ponds recently.
He used a drone to find clear spots on the lake bed or for spotting groups of fish.
He was telling me it met a watery grave. 😂

There's a guy who's very local to me has a YT channel MotoUK - he's lost at least 2 in water, one in the Lakes (literally) and one in a river.

AC auld lad I thought you were just into voyeurism as a bit of a kink, given your hedonistic nature.
Now I've come to believe, that it has become an obsession, bordering on addiction. 🤔 :D

I enjoy the view a well turned ankle, as much as any of us.
