Some drone video of me walking out to check on the cattle. It follows along and keeps me right on target all by itself. Got some accordion music sound track courtesy of "old binder guy" from red power forum.

You call it walking...

I would call it "trudging"! LOL

Somebody commented that at some points in the video my pacing is right on time with the music. Funny how that worked out. I did not plan it.

Thanks for the video, Rusty- I don't remember when I've enjoyed one more on here. Keep 'em coming.

All that white stuff makes it look like this area.

I like how that drone can follow you around. Have read about a few that would do that, but doubt I'll be getting one anytime soon.

Very nice👍

Yes, that follow feature is real handy and I'm hoping to get better at it with practice. This one was a bit high and far back I thought but
ok. I did this one of the Merc back in February when conditions were right.

Isn't there supposed to be a DOG walking with you? Every farm had a dog or two.

Not sure I'm ready to make the commitment necessary to becoming a dog owner.

Thanks for the Winter tour!
Was that Larry the Corner Guy with you? 😁

Combining this thread with another recent thread here, just went to Amazon to look up your drone. Found several sellera selling new units for $400 *LOL* Take a look:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-lis...0&sr=8-5&keywords=autel+xstar+premium

Please people, do NOT try to buy these - these listings are scams and need to be removed by Amazon.

Impressive technology. What model drone do you have and how long will it stay airborne? Would be nice to take picture of my haying operations to post on my c/l postings. Would also be fun to use on a couple of the golf course holes on our senior day scrambles. The snow pictures made me feel cold...playing golf with the boys in the morning here in East Texas. Will be cool when we tee off but will be in the 60s before we finish and 80s by end of week. I loved going hunting when there was snow on the ground when I was growing up on a farm in the Midwest.

If you visit the Amazon page above, you'll see the model that he mentioned in the above video. ...Only, go to the main page for the drones. I think you could probably find a better deal somewhere else, but looks like a nice little flyer.

Seemed like everybody was buying DJI Phantom drones. So of course I had to be different and by an Autel Xstar premium. It is very similar in design and operation to the Phantom. Supposed to run 25 minutes on a battery but so far I have not flown it long enough to run the battery down. Battery won't last as long at some of the cold temps I've flown but then my fingers don't last long either before I have to give up. Looking forward to warmer weather and longer flights in the near future.
