Drones

Anyone flown/own them?

 

I want a DJI Mavic Pro, but can't justify the cost. Might get a DJI Spark.

 

I don't need one, but I flew the Phantom 3 at my uncles house and it was really fun, and if I had my own, I'd take it on a few hikes and cycles and get some landscape shots. I don't know what I'd do with them, mind, but I'd enjoy it.

 

Someone buy me a drone.

If I win Euromillions tonight I'll buy you one.

Unfortunately for you, I’ve just bought the winning ticket.

 

I’ll buy a drone and fly it over ROTOQ’s house. One of those big ones that drops bombs on terrorists and pikeys.

I'm one of the Irish that isn't a terrorist, drunk or a pikey. We're struggling to put together a 5 a side team.

I have a Mavic Pro, it's an exceptional bit of technology. For the money the Mavic Air or Spark are better value. The Air is a better drone (18 months newer development) and the Spark is a fraction of the cost of a Mavic Pro but you'll get 80% of the features.

Nobhead over the road has one, he's 45 and has all sorts of remote shite. He was outside a few years ago after 12 at night running a fucking jeep thingy up the road, bevy in his hand. None too pleased I offered to run him over with my van. He decided to head for bed.

Blimey. That’s a lot of money for something that’s gonna come crashing down into a field somewhere.

It is. It's not a logical purchase. Im a techie and I've just wanted one for ages. I flew one for about 5 minutes the other week and within seconds my brain went "yep, I'm gettin me one of these".

 

It's just so much fun and looking at the world around you with a live birds eye view is very interesting.

They are fantastic when used as cameras for film and telly stuff as well as their military uses,but surely its only a matter of time before a major incident with a passenger aircraft occurs.

I'm nowhere near airports and will keep it low enough to be out of the way. But yea, idiots and malfunctions could lead to a disaster.
