Adventure travel with a Racing Drone

in #camping7 years ago (edited)

Adventure travel is more about the journey than the destination. It is more about crossing the bridge than getting to the other side.

Whether you do it on two wheels

or four

Stopping along the route and capturing the adventure on video adds to the fun and excitement. Bringing a racing drone allows you to explore the hard to get places and to see the big picture from exciting new views.

So here are a couple of tips to help with the journey.

Travel light- The tent hammock can keep you off the ground and rolls up into a tight package.

Bring tools. If you have room, bring a second drone. Avoid getting to a great flying location only to find out your drone does not work. A drone tool kit contains a wrench to change props, zip ties, tape, a portable soldering iron, hex driver/s appropriate to the bolts on the drone, and some cutters.

Bring an extra SD card or two.

Download the B4UFLY Mobile App from the FAA. This will help you determine if it is legal to fly where ever you stop.

NOTE: Drones have been banned from all National Parks

Bring a backpack for your your drone equipment. Racing drones pack down much smaller than Aerial photography rigs. This bag contains tools, spare parts, batteries, the radio, my goggles, a head-mounted flashlight, sunscreen, bug spray, and Benadryl lotion (when the bug spray fails). If I am hiking away from my vehicle or camp, a it will hold my camel back as well.

Traveling to fly can be the difference in showing off a dirty parking lot

and flying epic locations.

Thanks Edward! I think I will begin to document and review West Coast camp sites for #ADV #travel and #drone friendliness. I hit 3 or 4 sites last weekend. With the California Distinguished Veterans Pass, I gave an open door to California Parks. California is super drone friendly.
