RE: Gaining Height

in Photography Lovers2 years ago

Those are some dizzying heights XD

Though the gaining height thing did remind me of an incident when my youngest was quite young, we were at our gym and he asked if he could go to the field next door to fly his (very cheap from Target or KMart or somewhere like that) drone. I said sure but make sure to keep away from the road and buildings and to keep it low so it doesn't get blown away (it was a very small and very light plastic affair).

Some time later I go out to check on him and remind him to finish up and come back in as it will be getting dark soon and find him hysterically screaming in the middle of the field because he had flown the drone too high, the wind had got it and blown it out of the laughably short range of the controller into the bush and he couldn't get it to come back.

Cue me tromping through the bushland with the controller trying to communicate with the drone and also not accidentally bother snakes for nearly an hour before giving up because the sun went down.

Least yours won't blow away that easily XD
