Introduction by Fergie

Hi there! I’m Fergie a bit late in life to take up drones but I’m trying to tie it into my job role as media officer.

Question: most of my work involves imaging MWDs, when not working they are mostly calm, however when working I have to be within a safety zone as they can change direction away from the decoy (suitably trained).

Has anyone here undertaken this type of work.

Hi David - welcome to GADC :+1: :+1: :+1:

Interesting job you have there - think I’d be looking for a safety zone too - seen what a Belgian Malinois can do in training but they’re way too intelligent for me :flushed: :joy:

This is why I take caution, the drone does not bother them at all, they fixate on their target, bit like a fire-forget-furball :sweat_smile:
