Stumbled across this guys videos on YT, Watched a few now, RTH tests etc, thoroughly entertaining especially watching the subtitles trying to figure out what’s going on.
Anyway, this video is ace and exactly why public need to be educated, not sure if this chap is a member here but he should be
I’ve been subscribed to him for a couple of months. What I like about his uploads is it’s just a bloke who likes to fly his drone, share his experience, and give some interesting info about the area he’s filming.
Now if he was flying in a significantly built up area, next to an airport, while saying things like “Super Stoked” and “Ya know what I mean, Brah” then I’d insist on chemical castration. But this guy is flying a Mini2, literally in the middle of nowhere, so what is the risk if he does go 501m?
I thought I was the epitome of the anally retentive drone owner but it would appear I’ve lost that crown if some Norbert The Narc reported him to the CAA.
I watched it just for the accent and humour!! Brilliant! And wow, to think we can fly for miles without breaking the rules. Only a Scot could have found that out!! Scotland 1 - 0 England.
Playing devil’s advocate though, if he loses connection and it returns to home then he’s going to lose VLOS pretty quickly. Of course he could be manually updating his home point but he doesn’t say so.
Yes, I’ve been watching Robert’s YouTube videos for a while now. He’s very entertaining, but also provides some valuable tips.
Before my DJI Mini 2 went AWOL (my fault according to DJI Flight Analysis at customer care - I crashed into a tree when my attention was momentarily diverted) on an earlier occasion my controller lost contact with the drone, but as Robert has demonstrated, it returned to home with no problem.
Hopefully, I’m off to Scotland soon so hope to capture some shots as good as Robert’s, providing DJI Refresh has provided a substitute by then.
