Everytime I tell someone I fly drones first question "how far can it go?". I always say "I don't know, never been dumb enough to fly it out of range..." lol

[eliotblackman]

A friend of mine flew his behind ridge in the badlands… signal doesn’t travel very well through solid rock. He lost his drone

[iteerrex]

Or in other words, watch where you’re going lol

[PaleGhost]

You'd think with self parking vehicle technology, we could get drones with minimal proximity detectors.

[saveitforparts]

Cool mine site! I recently lost a drone near Lake Pepin when (I think) an eagle decided it looked tasty :-(

[greenswordgaming]

You should try making cane fly rods. Fly fishing has been around since around 200AD, not using reels but in a similar style to japanese tenkara fishing.

a long desert run on uneven terrain to recover the drone

[seancallaghan]

Fly out looking forward, turn around and look at you when flying back, reverse the footage and that is how you safely get this shot without having to fly it first

[TheLonelyBrit]

This is why you sometimes see drones painted bright pink or neon yellow. If it goes down in a hard to reach area, or gets stuck in a tree, it's much easier to find.

Bonus points if you put reflective tape on it so you can find it by shing a light on it.

What’s with the audio?
Is it combined audio from both the drone and a lav mic?

[francogonz]

My man when to the final boss of Dark Souls 3 just to test his drone

[GlorifiedGremlin]

I can tell by the breathing that he sprinted all the way there lmao

[SodaDone]

On mine it would be fine. It's got GPS return home which auto engages whenever it loses signal or is low on battery.

[scojo]

Plot twist, it landed on lost treasure

[nakamotolikesyou]

Camera drone operators are a different breed

[KainYusanagi]

Ooof. Yeah, having the camera looking away when you weren't sure of height clearance definitely wouldn't be a good idea.

[lemmonsinmyeyes]

drones are just the expensive, high tech way of playing 'fetch'

[ppypoon]

Just walk closer to your drone and make it fly back up to you. That would save the effort

[broom]

Hey dude, random subscriber but big fan speaking here! I really want your channel to succeed and I would love to give you constructive criticism. No need to answer. This is subjective, I might be the only one.

I currently often don't find the channel very entertaining but love you as a person. I see great potential in the general idea of the channel though. I would love to DM with you to fully express myself. Here is what would have to change so that I would enjoy it a lot more: I would let one step be based on the other. Kinda like minecraft and let every video be a follow up of the other. That creates a story. Kinda like Primitive Survival Technology (I think he's called?)

[TKsDPrints]

surprised it recorded the sound or did you use a go pro on it also my drone wont record sounds. also not even tested my drone i got it just before the lockdown lol.
