Airborne

I was so pleased with the ease with which I could control the simple drone I've already invested in a slightly more sophisticated model. The LE-IDEA IDEA10 WiFi FPV Drone uses GPS to maintain its position in the air and has a built in wide angle view camera for photos and video.

As the arms and propellers fold up it fits very neatly in the carry case provided

Today I had my first test flight with it.

The controller has the facility to hold a mobile phone which can be used to see what the camera sees and to control the flight. Something to try another time when I have had more practice. The drone has three flight speeds. Its slow speed is somewhat faster that that of the simple drone I bought.

There is a pre flight routine which has to be gone through to check and align the gyro and gps which takes a minute or two.

    1. Adrian: I am a bit disappointed with the quality of the video and stills. I have seen better on user reviews. Maybe it was grainy as the sun was hiding behind thick cloud.

  2. That would have been handy when I was on the farm to check if the sheep and cows were behaving themselves.
