High speed drone provides unique look at life on a country farm

This is a unique and unforgettable look at farm life through the lens of a high speed drone. Swooping in from high above, zipping under machinery, cruising through a herd of grazing cows, through vehicles, and weaving among hay bales, it's a look at farm life from a different perspective. A DJI Avata drone creates new possibilities for seeing the world.

This drone operator sat near the farmhouse, watching the drone with virtual reality goggles, seeing exactly what the drone saw as it flew. The sensation is as close to flying as you can get without leaving the ground. With stunning clarity, objects whipped past as the drone navigated through tight spaces with only inches to spare.

Crashes are inevitable with this sort of flying, but this drone is capable of flipping itself over and taking off again. Propeller guards and a tough plastic body make it a tough little unit. Conventional drones can't perform like these, and they can't maneuver through slots without the danger of their propellers being stopped by even the smallest twig or object.

This drone operator is actually helping out his farmer buddy who wants to keep a close eye on the cows during calving season. The drone provides a quick look at the herd without having to trudge around the pasture so many times in a day. Of course, the up close and personal look at the herd is still required each day, but the drone provides a good peek in between pasture. foot patrol.
