Some footage of the mountainess terrain
You have to see the sunset at 3m30 ... Stunning!
Thanks for the compliments... Much appreciated.
Cape town has so many incredibly beautiful, scenic landscapes. We have sites in some really amazing places and I've only been to a third of them so far. Still have to go down the east coast, hermanus way... Looking forward to it. And of course the quad comes with on every trip.
Rob.. just do it, you won't be sorry, you can scout out the best fishing spots before you set out.

@Rob Fisher - I agree with @ShaneW here. Just go and get one, you won't be disappointed. The DJI Phantom basically flies itself. They are unbelievably stable and easy to fly. Get the Pro version, better camera. I have both the pro and advance and much prefer the pro.Thanks for the compliments... Much appreciated.

@ShaneW I LOVE visiting the Cape... it is indeed beautiful! And there are a few ponds (Clanwilliam, Theewaters and Kwaggas) that I so love fishing! And I do enjoy visiting the grape growers as well! I will be back in the Cape next year for a visit.. just packing for the US at the moment... 40 days and I'm on my way!
Rob you can then have the drone hover overhead as you chuck something into the gorge
Finally got around to editing another video

Wow! I wish you were in Durban.. we need just this kind of high quality video to cover important bass fishing compo's! It would be EPIC! I'm amazed at the distance you can cover... how far can the copter go away from you?

Thanks @Silver. Lol, those descriptions fit perfectly.
Line of sight range is around 2Km, the shot of Steenbras dam I flew it around 2.4km away. Big open areas like a dam have an amazing range.
It's actually ridiculously easy with this particular model, you could honestly produce footage like this with 15 mins practice. The most difficult part is figuring out what looks best on the camera and getting the picture smooth.
If at any point you let the controls go, it stays/hovers exactly where it is... It always maintains its exact altitude and position and only moves when you give the command. It's got a multitude of stabilising tools- GPS, compass, barometer, ultra sonic height sensor, small bottom facing camera.
Battery life is about 25mins per battery, I have a spare so can get around 40-50 mins on an outing.
It has a return to home feature, if at any point you want it back, just hit the button and it returns to where it took off and lands itself. It will also return to home if it loses signal or starts running out of power... It knows exactly how much battery power it needs to get back 'home'.
So much of want one!
That would make it a commercial venture and therefore requires me to get a license. Just a hobby
That's incredible man..

What I want to know is how he didn't hit anything with it
