Drone Away 😴
Who wants to listen to someone drone away? It can be most soporific. Like some college professors who go on and on in a monotone; and sound like they aren’t even interested in the subject!
But maybe you want to drone away while cycling, so you can record your adventures to enjoy later; or to share them with friends. An X1 Drone with Camera is one possibility.
This device weighs under 4.5 ounces, making it easy to pack along. Simple, user-friendly operation means most everybody can use it. You can pre-program flight paths for the X1 Drone with Camera — hover; zoom out; and more. This drone can fly as fast as 15 mph; so I might not be able to ride fast enough to keep up with it!
I’ve never tried using a drone before; but this video can help you get started. I’m certainly not ready to ride one-handed while trying to control an airborne camera, as shown; so I’ll skip it for now.
Make More YouTubes? 🎬
A drone of any sort might help me make more YouTubes. I created about eight of them, years ago, using my Canon PowerShot ELPH 180; and I haven’t made any since then.
The sound quality of my videos is poor; and except for my very first film, I didn’t know where I’d find a “cameraman”. I had to use a chest strap to hold the camera.
On top of that, I didn’t — and still don’t — know how I’d come up with fresh material for several YouTubes per week; week after week. It’s not as though I were a seasoned coach who has a lot to offer viewers. Neither am I off doing cycling adventures, where I can show new and interesting places.
If I can do RAGBRAI next year, maybe I can make some YouTubes from the air — but I must remember that many other riders are sure to have the same idea. That means great potential for numerous mid-air collisions!

ABOUT ME
I began this website primarily as a way to present the story of how I accomplished a century ride on an adult tricycle. Other riders of adult trikes might want to know whether it’s possible. It sure is! You can read all about it in My Story.
I live in New Orleans; and retired in January 2023. More time for cycling!
