That looks pretty good as in nice photography. I haven't surfed there forever, but that looked fun.

Great angle.

So, this is basically a drone with a camera? You NSA?

How far away from the camera were you? Do you need to stay close or can you fly this thing at a distance, say on a big point? Can you fly out of line of sight? Do you have a monitor on the remote?

Sounds like the possibilities are endless. I want to know more.

Yes, its a drone with a GoPro. NoNSA . its only for "peaceful missions" Its about 2 feet in diameter.I can fly to the outside of most breaks. Sometimes Im looking at the drone, sometimes Im watching the live video feed. I can fly out using only the monitor(FP) but if I loose my video signal I will have no eyes. But, if the pay is big enough I will put it all on the line if needed
Im building a bigger one to haul a biger camera ( cannon 5d ect)

Nice, is this a hobby or are you doing for your work?

Hobby at this point. Trying to get good enough to get paid

Nice, my daughter just start school at USD. She's a decent long boarder, where's a good place for her to get wet and used to local conditions.

^^^Dude, there is an entire thread here dedicated to SD surfers. Have here join TGR and start posting there. There are plenty of people on here who would be very happy to show a nice coed around.

Ummmm....isn't there a beach that's epic within walking distance? You know, the spot where all the people hang out on the beach an get nekkid before surfing big barrels. Or is it after they surf big barrels? I dunno.
Maybe she could go to other spots where they wear clothes but that would be less fun.


PS - Cool drone. Combine your drone, boat, and some dolphin tanks... this might be an epic winter.

Not sure if epic is what a decent long boarder is looking for.

Does she have a car? San O

lobbed that one right over the plate

Yeah he did.

I was either terribly kind in my response.

Or not feeding the trolls.
