(Viewed 933 times) TheJournalist  Location: Germany Gender: Male the world has moved on  |  using a drone... < on 7/1/2011 2:05 PM >   Hey guys, just stumbled over the AR.Drone (http://www.parrot.com) and was basically wondering if anyone of you has ever (1) thought about using a drone to pre-explore areas or (2) in fact had experience with this one looks like an intelligent way to get a first glimpse on stuff, make cool vids and look for POEs (depending on the range and battery capacity of the drone). Love what you did with the place!!!

The advantage, however, lies in not being seen yourself as you could in fact stay in your car or someplace else and just navigate via your iphone or ipad which doesn't really raise that much suspicion (depending - of course - on the distance you have to stay in). As long as it looks like one is actually playing with that thing I don't think it to raise that much suspicion (while starting or landing the drone). And since it is equipped with a camera which you can stream on your device you could actually just turn away as soon as you see somebody on the premises (and I'm of course only talking about seemingly unsecured areas). I'm not yet convinced what raises more suspicion. Some person checking out possible POEs or locations from the outside in general or a flying thing that looks like a toy...

"Practicing flying" would be a great excuse in an open area or out of the way location - I need to get out of the city more... www.detroit-madness.com Saniok  Location: Vaughan, ON Gender: Male  |  Re: using a drone... <Reply # 4 on 7/1/2011 10:02 PM >   Seems to be too expensive for something you might have to ditch in case of an emergency. Not to mention that it's partially made of styrofoam and is probably very brittle. I'd hate to have something like that lose range even by a bit and go down, then you will not be exploring for fun but to find the drone and pray to god that it's still in one piece. Nice idea, but in my opinion it doesn't seem too practical due to cost and "what if" situations. "meth cooking zombies." -Bahahaha!

Buy a broken one and carry it in your backpack on explores. If you get rousted, just pull it out and say you only went in to retrieve it.

Nice idea, but in my opinion it doesn't seem too practical due to cost and "what if" situations. it's cheaper than losing a $400 helicam platform.
