The future has come to Richland Parish, where my wife and I are moving to. I shot the first video a couple months back. The second, I shot just this morning, in my back yard.
Drones! The Future has come to Richland Parish. Before and after:
- Thread starter Srgt. Hulka
- Start date
These things are VERY useful for a wide variety of everyday applications. I can see a market in very small, palm sized buggers that can be launched from a holder/charging dock worn on a regular tactical backpack or duffel, smartphone controlled, that one can instantly deploy to check out conditions at certain locations before going to them. Like meeting up with somebody for a car or motorcycle sale and you feel sketchy about it. Send out the snooper to have a quick look just to make sure you ain't getting set up for a robbery. Delivery address for a package seems out of the way? Snoopers out for a quick glance.

I see both around me every year. Our sprayer plane pilot fancies himself a fighter pilot though, that guy yanks and banks like he's avoiding anti-air....pretty entertaining to watch really.
The drones work a field closer to town, the farmer likes the drones because the field is complicated to spray traditionally, and the drones negate all those problems. They're very big, and very expensive....but not as expensive as the planes....or the traditional sprayers.

The USPRA guys used a drone that size to haul target packages up the mountains at Cameo this year. Worked awesome.
