37. Football Drone

I'll admit I have only flown the drone twice for couple minutes but its an experience.  This particular drone has a 4k camera on it and is extremely fast.  This drone is a few thousand dollars when we bought it last year and we rarely use this one.  We have another two drones we use majority of the time.  We have to film drills with the drone.  We have it hover behind the QB and film the plays.  The editing of the drone files takes forever because it is all one continuous file and I have to split it into how many plays which is typically around 30 or 40 with a lot of dead time. 

The batteries only last about 10 to 15mins and we have to continually switch them out.  You have to make sure your flying and getting the footage you need without wasting the battery.  We have a screen on our iphones that allows you to see the drones view when flying.  I hope to continue to learn how to fly the drone so I can be the guy who gets to fly it full time.
