I bet I coudl do the whole area on 3 batteries ;) Phantom 3 Advanced.
Now I am missing such nice weather, so a look back a few months....
I did have to use air compressor to blow the dust out of her...

What about preventing gritty dust in the motors, and having it entering inside the shell, through the vents? ;-)

The "flight of the bumble bee" music was a good choice though. Hahaha

Thx, yes, that is why i had to blow the dust out.. Certainly not something to do routinely.... lot's of dust particles!

Hate to pester my friends, but I bet you a glazed donut, there is some dust in the shell.
If you had the ability to open it and gently blow out any remaining dust.

Suggest, using a can of compressed air, like for cleaning out computer towers, opposed to the strong force of an industrial strength compressor... Ha

Fun video though. You could also clear the light snow from the walkways too. ;-$

I used a compressor my neighbor has, at low setting and some distance, but yes, i bet there's some still inside. my main concern was the motors and gimbal.
Yes, i could, but when we had nice fluffy snow, i would not use the phantom, to many moisture sensitive stuff.. but:

You can program waypoints, then run the program to clear the yard!

Even on low, a compressor has a lot of force. Be careful, when using in it around your delicate electronics.

RedHotPoker

ok, will keep that in mind.. canned air never felt like it had enough, but perhaps it does....

Less is more. ;-)

You're blowing flour fine dust, not sand blasting. Haha


RedHotPoker

Ahah great music choice !

Nice video, it's funny

This is my first time to hear that kind of leaf blower. Can you elaborate further or make your reviews stand firmer so that I can really manage to maybe try this instead of using my own now. Thanks!
