It's beautiful. Are you local to the west? Yes drones are great fun. I've had the same one for around 4yrs now. Need an upgrade but she does the job.

Nah, Adelaide. Close enough to VIC that I've been all over it like corona virus. Lol.
I like gadgets so a drone is something I really want. I've got a few hobbies though and shooting takes up all my cash right now...It's costly. So the drone is on the back-burner. I'll need to drop a hobby to get one I guess but then again it wold come in so handy with the hobbies I do...Off-roading, hiking, camping, shooting etc. I probably need to stop fucking around and just get one. I think even the cheaper versions are pretty good these days, old tech sure, but for a scrubber like me, probably still fine.
Dji Phantom 3 which is what I have you can get for $100 - $200 doesn't have anti crash detection but they have GPS so will hover.
Great for hunting as you can see a head. I've had mine travel 1km away but that was clear line of sight. I typically get 300 meters.
Also you can get fishing attachments to drop lures.
Seems way cheaper than what I expected...Hmm, now you have me thinking. Do these ones track an object? Ah never mind, I'll not be lazy and go and check for myself. :) Thanks for the tip though.
You can make it follow the controller and also follow a perimiter. However new tech you can click on the screen and it will track.
But keep in mind it's not the best unless its a big object and there is line of sight. I don't believe it will predict and if you're using for hunting you might lose what you're looking for.
I was thinking more my 4x4 if I was on a trail somewhere and wanted to capture some action...I'd probably use it more for capturing some scenic shots though. I'm going to take a look and see what I can find.
Oh yeah. With a dji 3 strap the controller to the roof so signal isn't interrupted and then click follow me. I've hit 75kms and the drone follows suite.
Sounds cool. You're doing a good sales pitch! Lol.
