While at the Grayslake Authors Fest, I grabbed some footage of the freight train. I missed the engine, but I wanted to see what the drone could do and experiment with clip speed and royalty free music tracks.

I liked this commercial piece for my brother's listing in Ft. Pierce. I got the drone to 200 ft and showed off the traffic for Midway road.

These pieces for commercial brokers are great, so they can show the whole property and save a prospective buyer a road trip.

My first blooper. Even the advanced drones have a weakness on their sensors against tree branches, power lines and telephone cables.

This is why the FAA still requires VLOS (visual line of sight) for commercial operations, and explains why our packages aren't delivered this way autonomously.

I was looking too closely at the screen trying to keep us on center. Mayhem ensues. The drone balances faster than a cat, and I got lucky. I just need to replace one rotor.
