Drones
« on: November 12, 2022, 05:35:57 am »
Does anyone know anything about drones?  There are so many different manufacturers and so much BS out there.  I need to buy one for my new gig that I can fly up and down the right of way for this pipeline and check for erosion and other environmental issues.  I need one that can get mail or two away and still return to me and takes good pictures and videos.

I have been looking at the DJI Mavic Air 2 drone and I am leaning toward this one in particular simply because a couple of people I know have this drone and it seems to do everything I need but.....  I don’t know if there are better ones out there....


Anyone have any experience with these things?

My pal does concrete inspections. He uses a farily cheap parrot drone. I have flown it, easy to fly and will return if the controller looses signal. Other than that I have no idea. Let us know when you get one.  I think they are cool.

Just looked it up, no shit. Can it be used as a tax write off? Too rich for my blood. I could buy and outfit a descent little track moto for that, or have a helluva a night on hookers and blow. (If my wife would let me, which she would not)

GF, I know a little about that from the gig I did for those guys in that place that time.  I folded their laundry ........





Jipped, I can totally write it off so that does help a bit.

I have the Mavic Pro and like it.  After the hurricane I got it out to check my roof. I had to punch in a code due to airport being with the miles range. I f'd up and punched in the incorrect code. Drone was about 30' up and started coming down. Like a dumba$$ instead of landing it I tried re-entering the code and hit a friggen palm tree busting an arm off. I've fixed it now though.

I am Stil researching but I am honestly leaning toward the Mavic Air 2 model.  DJI has a refurbished store on their website that, if I understand it correctly, they take items returned within 7 days and go through them and then sell them at a significant discount with a full 2 year warranty.  I think I may go with this version.
