I am an ex Coastie. SK2 District 17 Juneau ECV and Tracen Petalume. 78 to 82 !

Yes, I think the choices are: another boat for the drone launch, power boat, or they sail close enough to shore that you can fly from land!

You got me thinking. the sailboat has a big dinghy davit actually begging for a solar panel mount that would make a great takeoff and landing pad. Or I could mount a seat up there for me to hand launch and catch. with a belt. LOL. I wonder if a flypaper/contact paper sticky pad would...

Flying from shore. My company dive boat. I've flown from the boat too, while tied to a buoy. Lots of good space. I recently started work on a 34 foot sailboat, trying to figure out how to fly from in and around the rigging, while moving. I'm pretty good at hand launch and catch but...

Love the "Risky Mission" comment. Begs the question....... anti aircraft? Birds? Meteors, Surface to air?

I would buy another 2 pair in a heartbeat. I see no reason to return to the standard props. I can't imagine it would make a difference for v1.

I am really happy with the lo noise props. p4 ADV

Great video, someday I would like to film Barnegat Light in New Jersey. Enjoyed your three's company piece.

I fly over water 80% of the time. Some great comments above. me a P4 advanced flyer. 1) yes, fly into the wind first. It's great to fly home in a tailwind. I am amazed at the drone's ability to fly in wind. 2) I fly from a bluff, so my 0 altitude is referenced from the bluff. So as I...

Thank you ! Several situations where I rely on the strap. 1. hand launching and catching. 2. Hovering, teaching, not actively "driving" for a moment. My hands tend to be pretty light on the controls. I'm often flying from a low beach chair in which case it would have dropped about 6...

still happy with your alientech? I am about to buy.

I have been using this product for a month, probably 12 flights with my phantom 4 adv drone. very happy with function and comfort until....... the clip in the photo let go. It is poor quality, my controller fell to the ground and snapped off one of the two dji antennas, breaking the...

What is your threshold for windy? I've been very happy with the high wind performance of my P4ADV. I fly upwind for the first half of my flight, and get the assistance of the wind on return. 15 kts is usually my upper limit but I have flown in 20.

P4 ADV with my newly arrived dji low noise props. 12 - 15 mph wind. Very pleased and impressed. Well worth the 20 bucks. Get a set!
