I've been wanting to get some footage underway while on the boat, however, its very difficult to drive a boat and fly the drone at the same time. The drone will do 30mph. If there is any wind, it gets a little tricky trying to land with any antennas/rods on the boat, especially on a moving boat. Water landing is not an option... Drones are really fun to fly - that was some cool footage.

This is my first attempt at flying from a moving platform - soplease excuse the any jerking of the camera. All footage is at about 100 feet altitude. My 11 year old is at the helm. Its a little tough retrieving the drone on a boat and there is no place to land nearby - but it all worked out. Please see the following link on youtube: http://youtu.be/G7R3wXpawzU

It does not matter if there was no other boats in the area and the water was calm. Please bring someone to drive the boat and someone else to operate the drone.
