Here’s the drop
And the resting place
I actually want to thank you @Njoro. Firstly for letting me launch my whoop from your inspire on the next meet. And secondly for volunteering to use it to pull a sleigh and reindeers at christmas.

Hi Colin,
From one old boy to another in exactly the same position, the DJI Mavic Air fills my needs, i don’t want it to fly 1000’s of meters away from me, i just want it to take decent quality aerial photos.
Might i suggest rather that buy goggles you consider the Epson Moverio BT-300 glasses?
That’s the route i am thinking of going down, the main reason being that you are able to fly the drone without having to have an observer along.
Regards

WOW! Do they do what I think they do? Augmented reality?
Went out with Njoro this morning for a try out unfortunately too much wind for me to fly his mavic but was given an impressive display of its capabilities and ease of control. It would meet my needs, the best deals I can see online are all around £1,000 new, are used worth considering and what are the pitfalls.

Hello Alan,thanks for the response your glasses idea sounds interesting would like tohear how you get on.
@oldboy I’ll just highlight something here after our morning meet up, you said you’d love to FPV and although the BT-300 might mean you don’t need a spotter you’ll struggle to use them with your PC flight simulator whereas the DJI RE will take a feed off your PC HDMI for that cockpit enclosed feeling you were talking about which also means you can also watch movies.

Thanks very much for for this morning very useful, I think you are right about the glasses, I had a look at them online and think you would end up with a not one thing or the other view

The Epson Moverio BT-300 are getting great reviews on Youtube, with the Google’s you are blind too what is going on around you. From what I read, if the glasses are fitted correctly you have VLOS with the drone and can see what’s going on around you
It’s a good job I knew what was being talked about.
