Hi All.

I am more a spectator on this forum than a regular participant, but i thought i would share this with you.

I have been using this app for a while now, and used it this season for Salmon. I know lots of people are using drones to spot schools, but what i like about this is that you dont actually fly and land the drone. You create a mission, and then press the fly button (look for the school by moving the camera, but the drone carrys on doing the mission as requested). Off goes the drone on a patrol and once its finished it lands. I guess i like the idea of spotting a school of fish and being able to go and cast at it without worring about the drone (it will just land on its own, once it has finished). I have seen a few videos recently of guys using a trolling out rigger clips attached te the bottom of a drone, and all they do is pull it out when they are over the fish. I might have to see how they rig it up and give it a go.

Besides my personal use of the app, i would think it has various uses for guys on the forum. If you hunt, how much better would it be to send the drone up on an automated mission to spot the pig. Spot them and go, instead of leaving a mate with the drone, or having to land it and hope the animal has not moved.

The app has actually been produced to use as a shark patrol, which over this part of the world, will prove pretty usefull.

Best of all, its free...
