Hi team,
Can you point me in the right direction for 2 preferably ready to fly Drones that meets my requirements ?
Drone #1:
a good quality, tried, tested and robust model which meets some basic spec's:
Use: Used for learning to fly by Teenagers and Adults.
Video: HD video. Day (pre-dawn ---> post dusk)
Wind: Calm to slight breeze
Power: 30 mins + per battery. Ideally purchasing 4+ batteries.
Features: Auto-return setting.
Some sort of tracking ideally integrated into controller but if not via mobile phone e.g. if Drone goes down.
Live video feed.
Ability to Hover essential.
GPS program not so important.
Simple but tried, tested and robust controller a must.
Cost:
Drone #2:
Use: Capturing Wildlife: Foxes, Hares, Rabbits, Deer, Pheasants, Badgers, etc
Landscapes: Distance (ability to fly to other side of a small lake) and Altitude (1000+ feet) essential
Video: HD video. Day (pre-dawn ---> post dusk), Night vision & Infra red essential.
Wind: Calm to slight breeze
Power: 30 mins + per battery. Ideally purchasing 4+ batteries.
Weight: 1 - 15kg
Features: Auto-return setting.
Ability to Hover essential.
Live video feed
GPS programmable (auto program routes, etc) not so important
Simple but tried, tested and robust controller a must.
Model/Manufacture: Will only buy equipment that has been tried in the 'field'! and which has consistently received positive feedback.
Cost: Will determine based on what is available.
Other thoughts:
Rain: Light mist or rain a possibility. Are drones rain proof ? Do they float ? Can the be customized to float ?
Power: Standard AC were I am is 230 volt.
Batteries: Can some batteries be used across models / manufactures ?
Controller: Can controllers be used across Drone models / manufactures ?
