Sorry in advance if this has been a subject before.

I'll be out of action for a few months with rehab shortly. So I'm thinking about getting a new toy to play with wile I'm a cripple.

Iv been looking at the phantoms they look cool and not over the top expensive.
My main concern is that i only want to film when it's windy. What wind speed could this drone handle?

Here in qld, we mostly get wind from 12 - 20 knots. Would I get away with this breed in these conditions, or would you suggest getting the much more expensive "inspire"?
I don't really want to spend $4k+ on drone that will be used over water.

Cheers.

21m/s is 40Knots. Should be able to keep up and have enough in the tank to manoeuvre around someone kite surfing or other similar water sports.

not affiliated with jostech in any way, but bought mine from them and the before and after sales service was fantastic.

and when can we watch your $2600 masterpiece movie you made.... granted the gopro was aprox 500$...


seriously kemp get a slackline or something, drones are for checking if workers on minesites are sitting down rolling smokes and for ensureing everyone in the councils area has met theyre new swimming pool fence requirements (yes all your taxes and rates are going towards ****ing ****s flying drones over your houses then fineing you if your swimming pool fence isnt upto code...not to mention any gazebos or dope plants you have in the back yard!)

want to pay off your phantom? papparazzi photos of whoever you want will do that in a few short hours

Eagles can be scary! One eagle took fancy to my glider once was a bit concerned and gave him the lift for him to enjoy all by himself!
