Why would you go with Autel? They will leave you hanging whithout support as soon as they design something with newer batteries. Fool me once.
Love this content. Keep it coming!
Your countering someone else's question with a cliched question is not helpful. Having skills does not automatically help you find real battle buddies. It's not like people are going to flock to you because of that. Maybe if you were actually special forces that would attract people if they knew that is what you were. Tell people how to make connections, don't patronize them with obvious questions that should come AFTER you have met someone, or not at all.
Finally someone does a video on the drone I've been looking at!! Not really any prepper based vids of the Autel drones with thermal. Thanks! You guys covered a lot of great info, many things I didn't even know about these drones. One thing Im very curious about you didn't mention is tethering ability. I'm a Ham, and running a antenna and power cable tethered up 50' or so would be great. I guess you just need to be under its "payload max" with the connections and wire and have power in receptacle on the drone… Oh and just thought too if this is possible, you would be able to remove the battery from the thing increasing its max payload too.
What triple mag pouch is dat..?
It has probably been mentioned, but it is illegal to be flying this drone (and many others) without it having a remote ID system integrated into the drone, so anyone can download an app and see where you (or your takeoff point, depending on the drone), as-well as where the drone is. Any drone that was released within the last couple years has this baked into its hardware. Of course that specific drone was made prior to the FAA and requires a RID attachment installed on the drone to be legal (among all the other red tape like registration, trust, any 107BS, etc).
And for those looking at this specific drone, be aware that autel intentionally does not improve the software of the cameras, so even though the V3 has the same hardware specs, you will be getting a worse image quality. This drone is also lacking in a few areas that more modern (read expensive) drones have.
Sucks that both DJI and Autel sucks in the CS and warranty department.
In Canada there was an app that came out that allowed anyone to track any drone operating in the area. The App had the drone location, pilot location, pilots personal info like name/address/phone, flight details like altitude, speed, the flight path, etc. I've tested it but never seen the app work properly. Something to watch out for.
Just an FYI if you want to do this with the DJI drones, you gotta pay about $4000 for the software that does it.
Curious, how is atac and what not encrypted, cause aybody with no how to break into and open signal can see then wherevery body is.
What is the range from the controller?
Can this drone return to home if home is in a moving vehicle?
Well, they shot my drone down… GO HOME!
Looks like the algo doesn’t favor “prepared citizens” ☹️
Thermal is very handy in the day time, too. When I flew Apaches, we switched back and forth between day TV and FLIR to scan for targets. As a hunter, I've also used a hand held thermal to find small game after I shot it and it ran into thick brush. Good video.
I fell off the couch when you said $4,000
Correctional officer, electrician, and in school for emt. Am I thier one yet?
Where did you find it for $4300? Cheapest i'm seeing it for is $4800. Also people should be aware at least that in many states its illegal to hunt with drones. Before the cheeto fingers start typing, I dont lick any boots, just giving "fyi".
Why would cell phone based anything be a good idea in a tactical environment. The people who will be up against you will be able to find you much easier.
I got invited by a few groups to train with them or be part of them, since I have a few tools under my belt, e.g
welding (tig, mig, arc), electrical (industrial, home, automotive), Mechanical (industrial, automotive), hydraulics and pneumatics, programming, and understanding of communication protocols etc..
And I have enough guns to arm a small neighborhood lol, I build a couple sub MOA sniper rifles, I'm not a gunsmith but I understand how guns work and work on them, I reload most of my cartridges, also own thermal equipment and night vision, but they alway lose ther shit when I told them I'm mostly a Democrat, support Russia and Palestine 🤷🏻… Anyways I don't need bor want to be part of a group, I'm better by myself in case shtf
If i've learned one thing for certain it's that I need a tiger stripe woobie hoodie
$4300.00 dollars. Sure. People can't pay their "normal" bills.
BS.. everyone needs a belt fed
Very informative video. Thank you!
So we will be playing 40K in our spare time of shtf?
I like the idea of having a "Tech" in the squad that is a radio and drone operator.
I work in GIS (Geographic Information Systems) which is the fancy term for Map IT. Satellite imagery is GIS, Google maps and earth are GIS. I also joined my state defense force to help with search and rescue. I feel like drones would be something I could use in my career, as a volunteer, and as an armed prepared citizen. Being a civilian RPK gunner is only helpful in a specific SHTF scenario whereas a drone is useful in SHTF and in normal circumstances.
My second specialty would probably be as a medic since I used to be a lifeguard and part of me has wanted to be a paramedic.
Build your own. Off the shelf drones are not an asset, they are a liability…
Sooooo ATAK video when?
MFs taking out loans to buy holosun thermals and drones to preserve their “freedom” (they work 50 hours a week at a supermarket)
I asked on a recent video for you to cover this exact topic! Not sure if it was seen but I’m glad you’ve made a video on drones!
That jacket is awesome! Where can I get one??
Really nice jacket. Does anyone know where I can get it?
What hoodie?
$4200 😆😆😆😆
I don't know how you make your money but I get paid over $50 an hour and $4200 is nowhere near my "Must spend" priorities.
I have a mortgage, car bill, phone bill, etc. K9 care (yes I am a K9 contractor so all care for the dog falls on me), insurance, food, equipment and so on. Plus my wife (an active duty US Marine Corps Major) would skin me alive if I tried to buy a fucking drone when we have a $2400 a month mortgage.
I like you guys, and your videos, but come on. You know damn well that shit like this us not realistic for the average dude.
Bros, that YouTube money is getting to yer heads… that drone cost more than my effing car 😂😆😂
I came for the drones, but I left with Warhammer 40k.
Seems like to me that these guys really know what they are doing and are pretty prepared. It also seems like to me that if you're going to be any kind of modern day battlefield soldier that you are going to need extensive classes and training on things like radios and atak and drones and all this stuff that was not around when I was in the infantry. We had a whole S2 division and on a squad level the only thing we had was nods. We didn't have lasers on the ends of our weapons or any kind of crazy stuff like that and we didn't have suppressors and we didn't have body armor and we didn't have all this high-speed gear but it looks to me that if you're going to run all of this stuff you need to be rich. You need to be friends with somebody who is rich. Because you're looking at getting into 30 or $40000 very quickly by getting night vision and good encrypted radios and a thermal drone and body armor and weapons with lasers on the ends and having radios that can broadcast far and getting a repeater in your general area and doing all of this other crazy stuff and having a base to operate out of now you're looking at a couple $100000 and having your little caches of weapons and ammo all over the place and Iyour looking at another $20000 and then having a bunker maybe to hide in when thermal drones come over you're looking at another $150000 You could spend a million dollars on prepping for a team of 6 guys and you could do that in a month. The average Joe cannot afford all of this stuff.
This drone is not weatherproof!
