as long as it's being used by a professional it should be fine, however I want a drone with a flame thrower now.

There's a reason why I don't get cars with a lot of horsepower. It's easier to restrict oneself when you don't have the ability.

1984 VW Rabbit, you can drive that thing at 100% all day everyday and cops won't even notice.

As the resident FAA licensed Drone Pilot

I want one.

o_o

I'm getting a drone tomorrow. Maybe I can weaponize it. 🤔

Just tape a butter knife to it. THat's weaponized enough for London

I wonder if after knives are banned, people start using stones in crimes, andthen they'll try to ban stones.

Then tell people to start throwing pants

What kind are you getting?

https://www.parrot.com/us/drones/parrot-bebop-2#parrot-bebop-2

can I offer you some advice?

Sure

Don't.

It was bought already. Parent's decided to get it for their trip to Alaska. Will be giving it to me when they get back.

Ah. huh.

Bebop 2 is a potato painted white, with propellers.

Yeah it looks bad but I won't complain as I'm not paying for it.

I was going to recommend the Tello. $100 drone with basically the same quality image.

Either that or a DJI Matrice 600 with a Red Digital camera.

I had asked about drones here before my parents bought anything but didn't get any answers about what was good so they just ended up getting that.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Oh, shit, you should've pinged me.

Then again, I was innawoods about a week or two ago.

I didn't know you were the guy to go to about drones lol.

I came into this discord literally bitching about GoPro exiting the drone market.

Also, disregard my advice about the Matrice, that was me joking around.

What? When did they leave? I don't keep up with those things

DJI Matrice 600 is a $5,000 drone, the camera is $50,000

Yeah, they announced an end to the Karma drone line back in January.

Which is a shame, because the Karma is actually a really fine drone.

I would have gone with that if they weren't stopping production.

It's still generally worth it

Gopro kit costs $850, comes with a GoPro camera, and a Karma Grip

Just saw a lot of people saying not to get it as there wouldn't be tech support and they would stop making improvements.

Yeah, GoPro footage was some of the best footage on Youtube when I got "homesick" of my old haunts

Incidentally, the Karma Grip is what Tim uses in the field.

I'd love to have that.

Right now I have a shitty selfie stick/tripod combo thing.
