For those who you who can't afford a drone, or lack the skill to fly one, here's my drone replacement, the "Ground drone" (Patent not pending). It comes in a two part kit, the big yellow part which you place on the ground, and the small blur part that moves around rather freely. A bit too freely sometimes.
In spite of Collision Avoidance Sensors (CAS) not being the latest generation, I haven't bumped into anything yet. The Semi-Automatic Positioning System (SAPS), consisting of four hi-tech green ropes attached to the blue part, each with its own operator (human) on ground level, also works well, at least as long as it doesn't start raining or one (or more) of the operators doesn't fall asleep or gets thirsty.
Just keep one of these (both parts) handy in your camera bag, and you can say farewell to DJI etc.

Thanks Ian. Be careful not to inhale those fumes. :banghead:I took the lens I'd been waiting for (PL 50-200) to the Goodwood Revival to try out the 200 end:That's about $250,000,000 USD of motor cars charging towards my relatively VERY inexpensive new lens

Don't you mean 'Be careful not to be run over by those cars' ?

Not really, taking into account you are using a tele lens. :facesmack:

Great photo and a very, very impressive collection of cars. Do they do this every year? If they do, I'll consider going the next time.I took the lens I'd been waiting for (PL 50-200) to the Goodwood Revival to try out the 200 end: That's about $250,000,000 USD of motor cars charging towards my relatively VERY inexpensive new lens

Thank you Jorgen (my/Microsoft settings have reverted to disallowing an o with a /).Yes, it's a three day meeting every year - I'll PM you, but here's a quick iPhone snap of my two 'Fun with' things.

That's a nice looking Junior. There are several of them racing at classic events here in Thailand as well. Unfortunately, it's expensive to get spare parts to this part of the world, and many classic cars her look nice on the outside, but not so much under the bonnet.and a totally OT somebody else's picture of me at Goodwood, but not at the Revival ….…. plebeians like myself are not invited.
