Hi all! I have never bought a drone before, and I may buy one for some specific tasks. I have a decent amount of acreage and I am hoping a drone might help me keep an eye on it (monitoring fence lines, erosion, etc).
Here is the kind of setup I would like, maybe some of you can advise on this..I have no idea how much of this is possible:
Drone that I can automate a route. Fly the route once, save it, and then run that route again at a later time on autopilot (not absolutely necessary but preferable).
Have a video feed that has both front view and ground view, so I see to fly the route and also see what is below (if route can be automated after first flight, this may not be necessary, but still preferable).
Have a range of 1 mile (it wont be going quite that far, but I'd like to have a buffer before sure loss of signal)
Have a battery life of at least 20 minutes
Have auto-return functionality if signal is lost.
Anyone have any ideas? I'm sure I'm forgetting a few things. I'd like to stay under 500 but I really dont know if that is possible.
Thanks in advance for any advice you can give me!
