Sometimes, you have to take a break from work to go and enjoy some life. Instead of work for me, it's mainly being a primary caregiver for my Dad, and then also keeping my ADHA mother in check, not to mention trading for income... It's a full time job, let me tell you. So after a string of doctor's appointments for both on different sides of town, I took some time for myself and got my new Ruko F11PRO camera drone up in the air. I went out to the main pastures to avoid obstacles like trees and power lines while I get used to it.
Unlike my freestyle drones, this one has some major limitations as far as what I can do with is, so I am testing those limitation as far as height and distance so I know my barriers.
While doing so, I was able to get some great shots of the mountain before I met my first limitation... Distance... The WIFI disconnected from the drone and I lost video. At least I was high enough for it to sit and hover while I walked closer and got reconnected. My freestyle drones would have just fell out of the sky, lol.
As I was bringing the drone back, I noticed my uncle and a buddy of his getting some work done on one side of the barn, then they went to the back of one of the fields, and out of curiosity, I followed to see what they were up to... They had no idea I was watching, lol. I know creepy, but hey, I consider it property security/management, lol. After my uncle saw the drone, he flipped me the southern wave, lol. 🖕🏻 I didn't get a picture of that, but he and I had a laugh a little later after he came back up to the barn.
But all in all, this thing is fun even with the limitations. It's teaching me to fly using a screen instead of goggles, which I have been wanting to try anyway. I am not a fan of wearing the FPV goggles, because I don't like losing my peripheral vision, it's a paranoia thing, what can I say...
I was out there also in time to catch a beautiful sunset over the homestead.
One thing I can say for certain, and it took me growing up, leaving the farm and the state for years, and then coming home to realize that I am truly blessed to have access to all this private land. So I am going to do my best to be the best land curator I possibly can. As a family we have nearly 400 acres of land including parts of the mountain. About 63 acres will be eventually passed down to me, so I want to be a good steward of the land, and preserve it! I have no plans to ever sell or develop anything other my own farm, and future camp ground!
Anyway, just wanted to share some great pics and a good time with you all!
Until next time...
Be cool, be real, and always abide!

Looks like fun! One day I gotta get me one.
Yeah, the camera drones are nice, but after you have been flying freestyle like I have, it's kinda boring, lol. But at least it's not near as easy to crash and destroy, lol.
I agree on your comments on DJI goggles. While it does provide an immersive experience, you almost need to be sitting down or at least leaning on something solid to not lose balance.
What I found really nice is the Epson Moverio glasses. I did a short review on them here

Wow, I can't believe this was over 4 years ago! I'm sure the technology is even better now. While they plugged right into the HMDI port of the controller, I did find myself wishing they were wireless. Maybe something to look into if you would like to have the glasses view, but not lose the peripheral vision. While they had different levels of tint for the glasses (or clear for flying at night), I found that I most often flew in the bright daylight and preferred to just put black tape over the lenses.
I haven't had these out in a long time. Thanks for the reminder!
I will have to check those out. I found my old iPhone 6S Plus which is a good sized screen. I 3D printed a sun hood for it this morning that is going to help a ton. Just need to go to the store to get some double sided velcro to keep from sliding off.
Being creepy is always so much fun! 😀
Only problem is it's hard to be sneaky when the drone sounds like a swarm of bees, lol.
Very true. 🤣
