I have a really nice boat as well as a RV however there is no way I would ever consider flying my DJI drone from the boat mainly in fear of losing it to the salt water.
It is kinda tricky taking off from a moving boat. I was in my daughter’s 19’ sailboat (which was under way at a measly 1 kt.), I lifted off from the seating area in the stern, and hovered for just a second, but the boat moved forward and a rear guy wire struck the stationary mini 3 pro and knocked it into the drink! Lesson learned (the hard way) Fortunately, I have the DJI Care express coverage!
Oh wow!
Lol 😂 do I need part 107 to fly my boat, or can I do it recreationally? Thank you for sharing the video. Very informative.
Haha glad you enjoyed it!
What about flying from a moving bicycle or a moving skateboard? Do they qualify as "moving vehicles"? Very likely, yes. Would I need to ride the crossbar while somebody else operates the bike?
Yep, those would qualify as "moving vehicles" so you would have to have someone else operate the drone if you were steering the bicycle.
😎🤝
😁😁
To add, you cant be the one driving the car or boat. You would need someone else to drive while you operate the drone. You cannot do both at the same time.
Lies! Lol jk.... kind of
Driving and flying by the pilot alone would be considered careless and therefore not legal.
@@DonBrowne not only that but the drone operator has to be in control of the drone at all times. You cant do that while youre driving.
Yeah, this should be common sense. However, I suppose for some sarcasm and common sense don't apply to all.
@@scottschnatzmeyer85pretty sure know one was responding to your comment, respectfully. We knew you were kidding.
Can you fly a drone during the upcoming Solar Eclipse? 🌞🌚😎
yes, you can as it is daylight. But, why would you? A video or photo of the eclipse will not work without a special filter and a telephoto lens and 400 feet high is not going to make any difference on the shot.
We're posting a video about this in a few days!
I am also considering having my DJI drone focused on the solar eclipse and I have different lenses that came as extras with my drone I recently purchased, I am just not sure exactly which lence to utilize.
