I can see the theoretical possibilities, but finding it hard to see this ever being a possibility in real life. For example I live near a railway line and we often get steam trains coming through. Whilst I would be happy to put the Mavic up and get some shots of the train I definitely wouldn't be happy to leave it in my garden, walk a mile down the line (as someone else said - battery?) and then take off to follow the train. Most other scenarios I can think of would require leaving a 'live' Mavic in a public place (probably deserted, but who knows) whilst you walk/drive away from it! Each to his own I suppose, but this isn't for me!
This is so simple, it is silly. I did similar when I was up in a cherry picker and my wife was on the ground on the other side of the house. She knew how to power it up and down and I told her when to do it. She started it, I flew it to where I was working, and then landed it again, where she shut it off. Same thing. Have a friend start it for you (phone or radio) and then fly it to you. |
