beast 1,884 Posted March 25, 2015 Report Share Posted March 25, 2015 Fella brought one up here to do some survey work on the estate, something to do with finding ancient field boundaries and that type of thing, it was quite an education to watch him not only controlling the machine but also the camera, focussing and directing it etc. brilliant footage, glad I got a chance to watch him.tight fecker wouldn't let me have a go though !

jonah. 775 Posted March 26, 2015 Report Share Posted March 26, 2015 Amazon are currently testing and at the forefront of technology that will be delivering orders to customers using drones. Seems like a great way to legitimize thousands of these things flying around above us every day. Bet your bollox they won't just be used for delivery purposes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bosun11 537 Posted March 26, 2015 Report Share Posted March 26, 2015 Was on New Brighton beach a few weeks back, couple of blokes were flying a drone with them goggles on, around the lighthouse. I asked em about it and they let me put the goggles on... OMG how good was that view, perfect! They were skilled enough to fly it through the small windows at the top and i got to see inside. It was all very impressive BUT all i kept thinking about after was/still is that with gear like that no one or nothing is safe... Mark my words hunters will eventually be under more scrutiny than ever before..! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Peter Wyatt 2 Posted March 26, 2015 Report Share Posted March 26, 2015 shoot it , do they have perdition to fly over the land or do they have permit ion from you to be filmed ? invasion of privacy ,civil rights act must cover it , also if a bird is flying over it you might hit it as you take the shot , they can't say anything as it films downwards , o did you not see that bird fly over lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
