Have you done any "expedition" trips on the AI?

Impressive pics and video Keith.
The stabilised video looks great.
Drone technology has really come of age. Watching the Americas Cup you would often see the drones that were responsible for some of the great onboard sailing clips.
Looking forward to more pics/vids, especially following shots of AI/TI sailing!
Are you game to use it over water or even onboard while sailing?

Hi Stringy,

No qualms about flying over water. Many of those pictures were taken over water. I've thought about flying it off from an Island, but that will have to wait until this Fall.

Keith

That drone looks like fun, Keith. I've been considering the Phantom 3 and 4

Bob, I went with the Mavic Pro because it packs up so small and is easy to tote along. It can be unpacked and set up in a couple minutes.

Your pics have disappeared already Keith.
Switching to Dropbox solved my pic posting problems. It's free and has no ads.

We were at the petroglyphs national monument just a few weeks ago, definitely a must see for us (we are trying to visit all the National parks we can find). We are at Glacier National park this week, (been on the road since late April).
I really like your drone pics.

FE, sounds like you are having a great summer! I hope you have visited or will visit Yellowstone. Yellowstone is my favorite national park. Personally, I will be visiting Badlands National Park in South Dakota and Roosevelt NP in western North Dakota this summer. After that, I plan to catch the total solar eclipse from some place in Wyoming.

Good luck on your trip!!!

Keith

Keith:
Yea we were there a week and a half, could have stayed longer, (the place is huge and I swear I don't think we experienced half of it). While there we also visited the Tetons and a couple other areas close by. We will be leaving Glacier in a few days and plan to spend a week at Estes park (we have been there before and like the area). We talked about stopping in the badlands and seeing mt rushmore, but decided estes park and the southern route back (we want to stop by Branson (never been there), then go thru the Florida panhandle ( Pensacola area) on the way back. We have to stop by Atlanta to pick up my TI which we put in storage a couple months ago. We stored the TI mostly because we only have a 1/2 ton Sierra Denali pickup and we are hauling At near max gwvr, (truck, trailer, and passengers) thru all kinds of mountain grades, and the extra 300+ lbs of the boat and rigging on the roof would have likely caused trouble, probably wouldn't have helped our fuel economy either. I did all kinds of mods to the engine and cooling systems on the truck, we made it ok but I'm counting my lucky stars that we left the boat out of the mountains. Also because of the crazy zebra snail problem out west.

Hey Bob! Keith!

yOU gents are definitely spiking the fun-o-meter this summer...hope that you both have your senior park passes (said the insanely cheap curmudgeon..)

I've been looking at that drone of yours, Keith. WOW. Photos are fantastic and the very small footprint looks like it's easy as pie (why is pie easy?) to carry and launch. I may have to get one before heading down east in a few weeks. Did you find any discounts available?

"Summer's here and the time is right for dancing in the streets...."

No discounts. About $990. I got the package for about $1300...very worth it. If you are doing the Maine Island Trail, there will often be no place to recharge batteries. The package includes 2 extra batteries.
