At 2:02 is that Blackstone bay out of Whittier and when was that taken? I was out there and drove past that boat in a 27 foot sea sport right where that boat was sitting. The 3rd glacier back there I flew my mavic air up the side bye the waterfall and there is like a supper cool glacier pool up there

[@JakeSloan]

[@billmurphymurphy1511]

Great Stuff Jake Thanks.

[@JakeSloan]

My pleasure!

[@MrCalifornicationSD]

After watching almost all your videos I just realized YOU SOUND EXACTLY LIKE JORDAN PETERSON!!!

[@JakeSloan]

Wow thanks!

[@FotoArtBuschmannKonstanz]

Do you use ND filters?

[@JakeSloan]

I do!

[@bodywise007]

You really emphasize line of sight. But in reality, what is that distance? Depends on your visual acuity. Depends on the weather. Depends on whether you are shooting into the sun. So many of the great videos that you see cannot possibly be VLOS. Because that would limit your distance to approximately 500-1000 feet max. It is the same with height limitation. Once you fly from a cliff over a valley, your almost always above 400 feet AGL.

[@JakeSloan]

Exactly. VLOS depends on many factors almost all of which are changing by the minute. On a good day in good weather I can easily go out 2,500ft and still maintain vlos. The reason I emphasize it so much is the many examples here on RUclips of people blatantly disregarding safe practices in how far or where they fly their drones. Cheers

I have a zero-x pro ascend and the home button returns it to a 3mtr landing area, that mat would be pointless ?

[@JakeSloan]

likely yes it would be pointless unless you see where the drone is coming down and place it under just before it lands

[@CopperStateAerialPhotography]

Jake this is Hilarious!! You guys did a great Job putting this together. Great info done in an entertaining way. Loved It. Enjoyed talking with you on your stream the other day. Well done Sir.

[@billstoys8324]

Line of sight is important because you can see the birds that WILL attack your drone.

[@James-dtexTexas]

Bill’s Toys ... I’ve actually had that happen many times. Mockingbirds , scissortails and Swallows.

[@JakeSloan]

[@Macros1971]

There's a setting in the DJI GO4 app to have it tune to return to your controller, specifically for the type of flight you're talking about. Launching and landing from a moving location, boat, etc

[@JakeSloan]

yes!

[@dosomestuff1949]

And the fly app don’t got this? Brah
