Don’t ask me why but I brought myself one if those drones with a camera so it can sent it back to your phone or iPad etc...only £50 I thought it might come in useful for looking and trees canopy for broken limbs or nest or just generally checking what the tree looks like high up without getting your climbing gear on or squinting though binoculars...could be wrong but for £50 I thought give it a go.

As a family we never really do presents but Brother in law lost his job due to covid and has spent the last few months working away in his shed making things for us all this Xmas. This was my gift. Completely handmade, very original. One of the best gifts I've had in years

That is a really great idea.

I'm really happy for you mate, you deserve it. 

 

Congrats on the engagement too I guess.

Make sure you scope out the wind gust speed and the speed of your drone. I know someone (hangs head) who watched one drift off into the sunset.

A friend sent a cheap ish one (£150 three or four years ago) straight up and it kept going. Based on the battery life and the speed, we reckoned it went up literally thousands of feet and down and sideways on the breeze fvck knows where. Conclusion we came to was the that expensive ones would probably come back to you automatically etc. We never considered whether they’d be clever enough to descend to stiller air if it’s too windy up high though.

The one that I'm talking about was a clone of a mavic. It had a top speed of 12mph and a return to home function. Turns out that gusts of wind are a problem. This one went off at 45 degrees towards Holland, had a range of 3Km on a 15 min battery and a max height of similar. I'm told.

Santa brought a Sliky Zubat for wifey, so she can stop borrowing mine. And he brought me an Armytek WizardPro Nichia, limited edition headlamp. No other torch I've ever had compares to the utility of this gadget. Goes from a mere glimmer to a blinding wall of light and everything in between, and it makes colors look like the do on sunlight, instead of the washed out ghostly blue like cheap LED lights.

I had some unexpected amazing presents this year, my daughter commissioned her friend to do me a painting of a deer, and my sister bought me plans to make my own canoe, and my wife bought me a record power 8inch bench grinder.
