limeyangler Posted May 16, 2017 Report Posted May 16, 2017 Hi all, Went out and set the minnow traps yesterday evening, took my drone.
oldphart Posted May 16, 2017 Report Posted May 16, 2017 ~~~Great shots from the Drone, but didn't see any minnows
Jds63 Posted May 16, 2017 Report Posted May 16, 2017 Drone footage looks great Simon !!! Did ya check out Uncut Angling's latest video from Palouse Falls for some inspiration ....
PUMP KNOWS Posted May 16, 2017 Report Posted May 16, 2017 Can you make a vid of setting and collecting your minnows.
DanD Posted May 16, 2017 Report Posted May 16, 2017 Is the play back slowed down or is that in real time? Regardless great vid! Dan.
limeyangler Posted May 17, 2017 Author Report Posted May 17, 2017 ~~~Great shots from the Drone, but didn't see any minnows ...LOL...takes a little bit longer than 1/2 hour to catch 'em! Drone footage looks great Simon !!! Did ya check out Uncut Angling's latest video from Palouse Falls for some inspiration .... Hmmmmmm....I like the show but he kinda bugs me, how dare he catch all those wicked fish and get paid to do it! Can you make a vid of setting and collecting your minnows. Ya never know Awesome shots!!! What a view! Thanks T.J. Is the play back slowed down or is that in real time? Regardless great vid! Dan. No, its real time, with the 3 axis gimbal on the drones camera it gives it that liquid smooth feel. pretty big minnow pond you got there! Well, its not mine exactly....lol. what a beautiful evening, Sure was, what a difference a day makes, today was bloody miserable, and the black flies have hatched!
Raf Posted May 18, 2017 Report Posted May 18, 2017 man that's cool. how much flight time out of a charge?
mikeh Posted May 18, 2017 Report Posted May 18, 2017 that last location looks like a good crappie spot when they are spawning?
limeyangler Posted May 18, 2017 Author Report Posted May 18, 2017 man that's cool. how much flight time out of a charge? DJI says 27 minutes at 15mph or something like that. I find I get maybe 15 minutes as I don't like flying it once it gets to 30% battery power just because the Return to Home feature on the drone gets triggered when the battery is low. Because I'm mostly in the bush or over water the idea of the drone trying to land itself (especially when Im in the boat and have moved) freaks me out a bit. You can pause return to home and take over manual control, and set the height for return to home plus the drone has front and down Obstacle avoidance, but for now I'm playing it safe and learning the basics before I get carried away...lol. that last location looks like a good crappie spot when they are spawning? I don't think there are any predators in that pond, the reason why it produces good minnows.
danteiv Posted May 22, 2017 Report Posted May 22, 2017 the view is awesome , would be better if there some game fish there lol
