Thanks guys. X#X

Yes, I have live view of what the camera see's, leachy. I often fly far out and I can't even see the drone, then I fly only according to the screen.

Unfortunately, no zoom.


Sometimes it’s not until you don’t see what you want to see, that you truly open your eyes.

:-) :-) :-) :-)

seems as though you have quite a fancy machine..

does it return to you automatically if it reaches the edge of its range

or reach the end of its power storage ????

Brilliant, Sprocks! ^Q^

But I can just imagine it won't work in Kruger...imagine 50 drones at a lion sighting... =O:

Do the animals notice the drone much?

Thanks, Flutters. Yes, it was a bit pricey, but worth every cent! :yes:

They do notice it, specialy if you come in close. But, they get used to it very quickly and then they are chilled.
