Yup when you see a drone overhead they are looking in your windows. LOL!

Pics from mine and its maiden voyage. I think I was about 300 feet up here. There is no zoom function on the camera so I cannot look in your windows. If I fly lower than 100 feet I may be able to see you in your yard.



This is what 100 feet up looks like.


This one was over a customers 40 acre property the cleared square is where he is building his home.



I purchased this drone for Surveying, I am shopping now for mapping software so I can use it for aerial land surveying. Software ranges from $1500-$7000 I am trying to find something I feel will work best for me. In this instance I could lay down targets, put XYZ values on them then photograph the property from various angles and heights, then overlay the pictures into the mapping program.

It will grind the numbers and create a to scale 3d map of the land saving me 30 hours of field time, it will pay for itself on my first job using it.

I have my hobby license and am working on my commercial one.
