Besides using it to shoot aerial footage of my desert trips, I plan to use my Parrot "Quadricopter" drone as a sort of scout. Sometimes, it's hard to tell if the trail ahead is passable (or at least passable in relation to the capabilities of my vehicle) without walking ahead. I don't like surprises. Instead of walking, I'd like to send my drone.
Generating its own WiFi signal, the little aircraft can be controlled from my cellular "smart" phone to a maximum distance of one hundred, fifty feet. Whether this is far enough to be useful in this endeavor remains to be seen.
I will keep you all posted.
