Anybody else use drones?

Just got a dji spark. Plan on using it for b-roll for short films both hunting and fishing. But also going to use it to scout. Anybody use one on their adventures?

I think it'd be cool as still get out.
Get one with live video set it to Hoover above your stand and watch what comes in....

The problem is they sound like a bee swarm. So it’s hard to capture kill footage. But I always thought that would be cool too.

The one I have can follow me with out controlling it. I can also wave my hand around to control it.

Hmm
Sounds like a ton of fun!

I’ve looked into it, but haven’t found one with what I think would be a reasonable range and battery life. I would like to hear what folks are using

Yes. Just be aware of how you use it for "hunting." B-roll is fine, but scouting and using it while hunting a game animal might get some scrutiny. I used my Spark to film this...

However, using a drone to locate or drive an animal could potentially be illegal, depending on GW interpretation.

It worked for the javis, but it would be extremely challenging to do the same with whitetail.

What if you were just using it to get some nice landscape shots....oh look there's a duck!

That’s pretty awesome. Yeah I would have to clarify scouting. Since it will be used mostly for waterfowl I won’t be getting close enough to ducks for it to matter. If I see some I don’t want to spook them, and they fly into my drone or something. More or less just looking at the terrain of the landscape to judge if it might be huntable or not. I think as long as I can show the video to the Gw I’m not chasing ducks or hunting them I think I should be ok.

Yeah, that can sometimes create a problem, as well!

You’re lucky that wasn’t over water! Did it break anything? Kind of nervous about flying my spark over the water.
