Anyone else use their drones for inspecting their rain gutters? So far I found Nerf rocket in the back gutter, a rubber ball in the front gutter, and the garage gutter is full of leaves from the neighbors tree. Now we just need a grabber attachment and a leaf blower attachment for the drones!

Yep. I've used mine to inspect the quality of guttering replacement work done by a tradesman. As it turns out, it was shoddy and he buggered up some tile ridge capping too. Used photos extracted from the 4K video as evidence and withheld part-payment - I never heard back from him.

I've used my Phantom to blow the leaves out while they are freshly fallen.

Dear Mark
If you want to use your drone to inspect rain gutters, you should operate it very carefully.Since the drone is not waterproof, it should be operated away from water.
BTW, hope everything will be alright.

I used my Spark to check the condition of the shingles instead of climbing on the roof worked well and good picture quality.

Ha, that's a pretty creative use of drones! I bet it saves a lot of time and hassle compared to climbing up a ladder to inspect your gutters. And with those attachments you mentioned, it could practically become a full gutter services!
