I Bought a Drone

[Smokin Joe]

It arrived from Amazon yesterday.

I looked at the box, thought "What the hell do I want this for", and sent it back unopened.

I think I'm going senile.

Yeah but I've ordered these and they won't be going back and if I'm also going senile so be it!! 🧐

Why hasn't anyone apart from me, replied to @Smokin Joe's thread? 🤔

I was thinking about it for a while myself.

I wondered if you could get it to follow you whilst out in the bike, as I reckon I could get some nice footage on some of the rides I do over the year.

I have been thinking of getting a drone for quite a while. Choosing the right one and would I really use it? Yes..No...Yes...No?

Then I watch Miriam Kennedy on YouTube. Touring Ireland on her Brompton and realise I really need a drone and a Gopro to go and find these places and film them.

She does a great job of filming, making it interesting and finding new places. She has a lovely voice.

Its worth watching.

Perhaps he's left and gone away?
Oh! My mistake, that was " Joltin Joe "

I didn't want to drone on about it.

Yeah, just like that one.

Isn't the secret to these vlogs, the quality of the video editing? Have tried to edit videos before and it is a reel (ho-ho) skill.

Yes I think you are right.

My interest doesn't really lie in producing snappy videos for likes on YouTube (thankfully) more just recording my rides in interesting places. YouTube is just a very handy place to store them all.

My friend bought an £800 drone.
It’s a fantastic bit of kit but he hardly uses it as the novelty soon wears off and everyone hates you when you’re flying it near people.

Yes, my son-in-law (a gadget freak) did the same. I am waiting patiently for him to have a "clear out" and, give me the Drone.
