Love that drone work Scott and thanks for the report. A nice job on the hand too - ouch, it looked sore!

Great Report

Hope your hands not too bad, and I've gota say, I love watching your reports.

Thanks guys, that volcanic rock has some very rough edges to it, the only rock I can think of that is worse to fall on is the stuff in Niue because it is effectively old coral and razor sharp... I was looking up at the drone admiring my new toy when I stumbled backwards and tried to hold onto the remote control so nothing would get damaged. Its funny, when I told some of my mates I had an accident whilst flying the drone, the first thing they asked was - is the drone ok?

Another awesome report taken to the next level with the drone Scott!

That hand looked nasty...ouch!

Nice work as usual mate, hand looked nasty, those Rangi rocks have claimed a bit of my flesh in the past too not to mention a rod and a couple of pairs of shoes!

Great report Scott. First one I've read so will keep an eye out for your future ones.

Another top quality report. Eesh - nice word to describe that injury.

Drone with gimbal is about $1500 from NZ Helmet Cameras, add your own Gopro. I think you can get the Phantom with its own camera for about $2k. I had a few practices in the park and broke a couple of prop guards, the last trip was flawless, the key is really not having any wind to contend with so you can use small pushes on the controls and you dont have to panic if the wind starts pushing it into obstacles.

Nice drone LBger... Im getting into it.. but with not such an upmarket unit as yours for now..  Nice still video..  and adds another dimension to your vids..
FPV is great and mine uses my cellphone..  but will use an old tablet with shade to see if any better...   some nice fishing as well with some tasty morsels...
