My buddy had me survey his hunting grounds the other day with my FPV setup, he said it was a big help. and maybe some ppl here would need some help, So I figured I'd offer. 8-)

It would be helpful if you introduced yourself, so we understand who you are and if you explained what it is that you are offering.

Questions:
- what is FPV
- how does it benefit anyone
- do you have a business doing this
- would there be a cost

The answers may get you a bit more response.

It's a puzzle you are supposed to figure out ;)

I'll play....Let's see.... :hmm:
c0pt3rc4m
copter RC 4m = radio controlled helicopter with 4 motors? A quad copter? A drone? :shock:
FPV = first person view - like the view from the pilot's seat ( OK - I had to Google this. :) )

So...my guess is, he flies a RC quad copter over your hunting land and takes lots of photos or video.
And, because he is just an all around generous guy, he does this survey for FREE! 8-)

No longer legal in MN due to privacy laws. Used to be a company that would do vids or pics for realtors but gov shut them down. Think they where in Mtka where big buck houses are. The deal was that you might see another person or property that you did not have permission to photograph. Guess only the gov can watch our every move.

I think it has more to do with the FAA and possibly the FCC not having issued regulations permitting their commercial use. I think they are working on it. I have a passing interest in this stuff but don't keep very up to date, so ymmv.

No, it's not a spambot post. Yes, I would be willing to fly my quadcopter, or Hexacopter outfitted with a First Person View(fpv) system on it. No it's not FREE. Simply put, it's one of the best ways to scout without disturbing the bed, trails, or anything else for that matter.

First off, that micro will NOT do HD, nor will it allow LIVE FEED, or have a mile range.
As for cost, I'm not as expensive as my fellow enthusiasts. Depends on where I have to travel to. Email me. c0pt3rc4m@gmail.com

But can you do this? Because this is something I might actually pay for if you could fly this around my neighborhood on Halloween...
