Watch many U Tube videos with drones doing the video work

But I sure don't wanna spend $800 or more & the thing goes over a 1200' ledge & crashes

Curious if anyone one here flies one ?

Maybe I should start with a budget entry one at $400 or so ??

I don't. But drones sure as hell killed that RC helicopter fad that was so hot a while back, didn't they? I think you can get "starter" drones for under $200 now, with cameras. Not good drones, and not good cameras, but the equivalent of the single-shot bolt .22, maybe.

I have a DJI Phantom 4

If it loses signal or battery gets weak it flies back and lands on its own. 4k camera

Pretty cool but the new wore off fast for me,

If I was going into the Air Force. I’d want my MOS to be a Drone Pilot.

Sitting in a comfortable, high backed chair, with an array of screens showing me the battlefield full of bad guys. All them beards and sandal wearing camel fûckers waiting for me to vaporize them with a quick toggle, then button press.

Whew ! Long day at work...Beers anyone?

Middle daughter did it in MI via satellite uplink outta bragg and then outta the UAE deployed for 6 months.
4 yrs for a 3 letter agency basically.
The 3 letter types can't take the shot per posse comatatus.
Supposedly... but we know how that really works when push comes to shove in back water channels and matters
Active duty can take the shot....

She did her 4 yrs.
Got out as a O3 in July 2020.
Now flies for a 3 letter agency.
And someone else hits the prompt button when their screen goes black, while she has the bird on her screen for the 4 or 5 min run to tgt and bda.

She is making bank.
GS 11 pay to start with local area pay supplement.
Desert southwest area...
Says now that Afghanistan is done her job is boring.
Well I can be bored all day long long for what she is making as a 27yr old..
