[QUOTE="Tafische, post: 55150, member: 11370"] So I am taking a group of Boy Scouts to Seabase (Florida Keys USA) and we are going to learn to sail. I am really hoping to get some good footage with my Drone. I consider myself a pretty good pilot, but I see the challenges here. So far my plan is: - Do most of my footage while at anchor - If I do moving footage, do it while motoring so we can stop My concerns are: - Under sail being unable to slow down or navigate to “catch” the drone (so mainly film while stationary) - Being able to land the drone safely on a moving or drifting boat - Homepoint location moving I am assuming I will be manually landing the drone most of the time since the homepoint will likely drift even at anchor. Anyone out there had any experience with this? What worked well? What are your recommendations? [/QUOTE]
