This has occurred to me and I will probably try it the next time I come across monofilament netting. Shouldn't be too hard to rig and could save the drone from a swim.

Toddster, it is a great deal. Direct from DJI, $329, full and complete, drone, camera, battery, controller, warranty, etc. The reason for my post was to let other fence sitters know the deal was out there.

Thanks for your words of caution, there are many scams out there, but this is not one of them.
