A Drone Named Dragonfly

Our newest staff member is a flying video camera

A lovely drone has been added to Ancient Amador Gold's list of cool tools to work and play with. It's a DJI Mavic Mini and we've named her, the "Dragon Fly". Drones have been around for several years, now, and a lengthy memo here is surely not necessary. Suffice to say, that with the rural nature of this part of the world, as well as the vast planes full of beautiful scenery and photogenic features, there is plenty for our little Dragon Fly to explore. Drones have made what is tantamount to aerial photography/video accessible to everyone, and (at least for now) the regulations are not prohibitive in the country. Many of the places features already on Ancient Amador Gold will be explored from an aerial perspective , as opportunity avails. 

 There are many videos on this website, and they span a variety of areas of interest. This page has videos of two distinct kinds and are divided as such. The videos in the first section are meant to introduce the uninitiated to the populated areas and are not primarily intended to provide evidence. It's really a pleasure cruise though our mountains and towns for pleasure's sake. The second section features drone footage of some of the noteworthy sources and potential sources for strong evidence... and some amazing scenery to boot. All of the Amador By Dragonfly videos have audio carefully selected to enhance viewing pleasure. We hope you'll enjoy touring California's Gold Country by Dragonfly.

A grey area...

We attained permissions for specific sites while doing onsite and on foot explorations, and retained those permissions through to the present, but with aerial and drone photography/video, there is such a wide window. To pinpoint and isolate would be damn near impossible. Moreover, navigational software and apps like Google Earth have been showing raw topographical data and imagery for as long as they've existed. We don't want to have our "Dragon Fly" get  punished for anything. At this time, there's just no controlling authority for the kind of video we are featuring, but if one materializes,  there are many apps and popular  technologies by powerful interests that would surely be affected by the same, so she should be safe to fly freely for the foreseeable future.
