Re: DIY UAV help with hog hunting (With Thermal Video Feed)
My thought on this was to fluid float the cam that would help with image stabilaty. I have seen for full size cams done this way. I have a few big slow fliers they fly at a walking pace. There are a few good size park fliers that will get the job done. With Lipo batteries they can stay aloft a good ...

awesome Never thought of doing night flight with thermal cam have done some Heli cam flights to locate deer in my hunting area surprizingly the deer are alert to the heli but not spooked by it. Would be great for locating roosting turkeys also. Wonder if my Heli could lift the video cam lol.
