After "rain proofing" my Phantom 3 Standard I decided to build an elevated drone port outside my bedroom window. I bought a trash grabber to be able to drag in close enough to pull it inside. Ideally I would like to make 3 walls and add a retractable roof to protect the drones from thieves and heavy rain. I would love to have the drone on 24/7 ready to go fly at a moments notice. I have line of sight to the major intersection. If anyone knows of an easy way to add a visible laser pointing down that I can turn on remotely for landing I would love to hear about it. If I added walls I would really need a laser to know exactly where I'm landing.

When a helicopter couldn't find trapped hikers a DJI Phantom flew above them alerting the helicopter crew to their location. It's nice to finally see a good drone near helicopter story especially for the infamous Phantom.

CBS This Morning reports that NYPD is planning ways to disable drones. While this reports focuses on weaponized drones I think NYPDs actions effect anyone flying in NYC.
