No, I learned last winter after driving my truck into the ditch while
trying to fly the drone that it is
not a smart thing to do. After that I figured out how to use the
"follow" feature on the drone and it
will follow along shooting video just fine with no input from me. Not
in this planting one though.
My nephew has his own Phantom drone and he came out to shoot some video
while I concentrated
on seeding.
That tractor and air seeder are pretty small time compared to some of
the rigs running in this area.
Couple of 70 footers working near me some days made me feel
insignificant. I'm happy with what I've
got though. I remember running a 12 foot JD Van Brunt seed drill and
riding an open Cockshutt 50
tractor in all kinds of weather. So I really appreciate the comforts
of semi modern machinery.
