Unless you're already an experienced drone pilot, it takes many hours of practice just to master the basics. That's evident near the end of the video when the device crashes.

I'd start with asking myself if I want to put in that commitment first.

Aren't you limited to about 10-15 minutes on a battery?

Bull pucky.


I bought a drone last month and had it mastered at the end of my first weekend. About six hours. I can make it do anything now, fly anywhere. Land it on a dime, thread it between branches without touching, you name it. Haven't crashed it since my first couple hours. I'm doing a race with it next week. I do have excellent handeye coordination.....Ping pong..Fooseball...Lacrosse.....Martial arts background, but am nowhere near being a professional drone pilot. These things are basically toys, man. No big whoop.

But don't condone using a drone here in order to critique of review your running stride of any other type of physical movement, as I did earlier. You'll be condemned and accused of being a former banned member and using an alt account, as the resident whiner accused yours truly. LOL.

You're obviously mistaken.

As far as a drone, I probably won't ever bother to buy one for a running partner. But I wouldn't mind having one video me so I could review my form.

Just out of curiosity, what made you think I was a past member?

And I invite a mod to check my IP if you doubt my newness. LOL
Because there are a few people around here who are weird and ask weird stuff, then they get banned and come back with a different name and more weird topics. Just like this drone question that makes some people think "WTF?"

I can't think of a more distracting thing to do than try to jog and pilot a drone at the same time.

I suppose I might be mildly interested in someone taping one of my runs once. Just out of curiosity, I guess.

I'm going to add "waste of money" to the 47 previous posts saying "narcissism".
