Did either of you notice the palm trees in the most recent video over LSJ?

If you did notice them, what information can you glean from that, and what does that information tell you?

>>25895

Was the wind blowing? How much?

>>25904

My bad...was the wind blowing? How much?

>>25911

See >>25912

>>25921

When you observed the trees in the video, were the winds blowing?

How much?

>>25934

>>25933

See >>25399 again. At 1:00 to approx 1:50 seconds. Observe the palm branches and ground vegetation.

Think "Fresh Breeze" to "Strong Breeze". Cap related.

And what do winds do to drones?

What is required for a drone to be an optically stable platform in a hover in those winds?

Who flies those types of drones?

Ever heard of "Shackleford" Banks? Where is it, and what sizeable gov't property is just a short swim due west of it?

>>25970

As well as New River MCAS, which adjoins Camp LeJeune USMCB.

>>25977

<If you have a 25 mph side-wind then the drone can compensate just fine... they are highly advanced...

In a hover? What is required to hover in a 25 mph wind sufficient to retain an optically stable platform?

>>25984

Most private drones are flight-limited to winds at 15 mph. Several are flight-limited to 25 mph winds. None exceed 35.

>>25986

Flight times sag significantly with private drones when the camera is in use. Between launch, ingress, video footage, egress and recovery a hobby drone is unlikely to be the one used in this case.

>>25990

Correct. Those require FAA Part 107 licenses...or military training.

The wind wasn't in excess of the limits for THAT drone, yes. It was in excess of the limits of capability for all but a handful of hobby drones. They will not fly, shoot video and remain stable long enough to launch/recover.

The drone in use here is more high-powered technology.
