Hey Guys,
I've been looking into the commercial UAV market for a while now but these little guys interest me a lot just based on their price mostly! It seems DJI has designed this system around the just having fun "arial photographer" which in return gives is a seemingly small range to fly with. I'm looking for a system that can use those 25 minutes to say fly 2-4 km's away on a pre destined flight path, take some pics/vids of an area and then fly back. I saw on the DJI YouTube channel of a guy flying it 8 miles down the river, unfortunately he was following it with a boat to keep it in range, would it have been possible for him to just load the coordinates into the phantom and have it land somewhere 8 miles down the road? From what I can read the system can only go on wifi for a short time and then the RF range dies out shortly after that....Is is possible to get a phantom 2 to do what I'm suggesting...perhaps with some 3rd part upgrades? A point in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks! :mrgreen:
