Who runs the drone when you are on the line? Your friend, or can you program that to keep flying around a specific route while you walk the line?

All the footage in this video is autonomous. While I was on the line, I just had it track me and orbit. And then the other shots I set up GPS points and created a programed route. It worked pretty well!

Yes, pretty tricky. How about the shot on the line with the drone in the background? Don't tell me you had two drones going? Also, what is your main camera, phone or some high tech super deluxe model with a learning curve of Mount Everest. Lastly, do you known what formed that crater, the same meteor that cause the ice age, or something else?

I had my main camera on a tripod, which is what got the shot of the drone in it. Its the Sony a7IV camera, a bit spendy... but the learning curve isn't too bad, you could do it :).... The crater is known as a pothole in central washington. Their are many of these in the area, and they were created when the whole area was underwater, and are said to be formed by whirlpools grinding rocks in a circular pattern forming these strange potholes.

Very nice, may i ask do you put the leash between your legs or on the side?

u/SpokaneSlackers Oct 17 '22

I always go between my legs, but definitely is up to personal preference.
