Just picked up my first "hobby grade" drone the other day. It is impressive what tech gets packed into a small package. I've had several toy type ones in the past but this kicks it up a few notches. It has a 12km range (haven't tested that yet) but I've only taken it about a mile and a half away so far. I can fly it while viewing the camera view. I can't wait for this summer to get some awesome shots of the kids getting pulled behind the boat! The drone I got is a DJI Mini 2, also got the combo that comes with three batteries. Each batt pack is rated at 31 min of flight time but with the cold and wind I've only had it up for 25 min and still had plenty left. The coolest thing is it's a single button push, no matter where it's at, and you can set the remote down while it comes back and auto lands. I can't wait to get out and do some long range shooting and use this to go check the targets!!!
