I bought a new one, but it hasn't shipped yet (long story).
So all I have is drone pictures, no drone.
Well other than the drone of me whining about no drone.
I guess I should stop droning on.
Image, from my drone.
have you ever played with a drone or radio-controlled plane?

My husband would like one. That's a nice shot. They seem to crash quite a bit! Enjoy your day.

@DocAndersen lol That seems to be the case in quite a few mishaps! I think that's what would happen if my husband got one. CRASH!

My next-door neighbor has one (or had one). I love watching the videos others take (going over Niagara Falls is particularly stunning). They’re banned in national parks, though, so guess I’ll have to hike to those falls in Yellowstone myself.....

@DocAndersen — that’s understandable. One of Venus’ or Serena’s grunts could knock ‘em out of the sky!

Trust me--I am so non technical or mechanical that I would probably break it just getting it out of the box!!
Just curious--why would you want one?

I kind of want one, but I haven't indulged because I don't think I'd use it very often. I like watching drone footage on youtube though. That is, the camera footage and not of people droning on.

no sir, can't say i've done such. 've been tryin' to convince a ranchin' but 'd mine he needs one. he's rough country where he lives (not flat lands like here) 'n such'd come'n handy fer doin' a critter count 's well 's findin' those missin'. those cattle 't times like to hide'n the mesquite, calves 'r prone to fallin' 'nto ravines, etc.

@crazyhorseladycx at this point the only government involvement in drones is registration. They don't monitor RFID tags today.
including retail and other RFID tags, there are north of 100 million in the US alone.

I did get one but I am useless with it. I can't get it to take off but crash it immediately. Not one of my fortes so it seems!

@DianneN a buddy of mine started a small drone company. He sent me their new selfie drone. It follows your phone and takes pictures!

@DocAndersen We'd need to be a bit careful having a drone above the horses but it's a good thought.

@JudyEv i think you could, you would need to be really high so they wouldn't hear the noise of the propellers!

@Hannihar amazon is the easy answer - although each country has very specific laws about where you can fly them!
