You can also have a “ground crew” that can help keep eyes on while flying. There’s also tricks to being able to make all that happen.

I think the drone would not only work well for your needs, but also be a lot of fun. I’ve enjoyed the few times I have taken mine out to fly. Sadly, I bought it for a business, and I’m going a different direction, so I’m considering selling/taking trades for. If you want, we could talk about it all before I list it on here sometime in the future.

The post says "Keep your drone within the visual line of sight"; doesn't say you have to be able to see it.
Do binoculars count? Line of sight can be quite a ways off if it's 350' off the ground.

If I remember correctly they do count. Also, drones are built with navigational lights, which helps with visibility.

EDIT: binos don’t count. But on a clear day (typically when you’ll fly) you can pick out a drone with good lights a lot further out than you would think.

Just out of curiosity, and provided that Rickm doesn't want your drone, what brand and model do you have? Also, does it come with a camera?

It’s the DJI mavic pro 2, has a 4k hasselblad camera built it, 3 batteries, extra parts, etc. lots of cool camera features, terrain avoidance and autopilot. If you like, I can send pictures. It has maybe 5 hours of flight time on it.
