I’ve been testing a trick that lets a simple tarp and a line of sight blind a drone’s camera – no gadgets needed. Think that could outsmart a high‑tech sensor, or are you all about the calibrated circuits?

Sure, a tarp can throw off a camera for a second, but drones are built to spot contrast and motion, not just a simple line of sight. If you time it right, it might work, but the sensor will likely pivot or switch angles. It’s a low‑risk improv, but don’t count on it as a long‑term strategy.

You’re right, the drone’s sensors are picky. Still, if you’ve got a quick, dirty tarp and you know the launch point, it can give you a few seconds to pull a fire out or set up a trap. In the long run, you’ll need something that moves on its own—maybe a decoy that flies out on a stick. But a tarp’s got its place on a quick‑hit field day.

Tarp’s a quick win—just a brief flicker of darkness before the sensor recalibrates. Decoys on a stick can buy a second or two, but they’re still static until you give them a command. For real advantage you need something that reacts on its own; otherwise you’re stuck playing cat and mouse with a machine that never takes a break. Keep the tarp handy for the moment, then plan a step that moves with the battlefield.

Sounds like you’ve got the short‑term gear, now we’re hunting for the long‑term. Maybe use a line of fallen leaves and a bit of bark to hide a motion‑sensing stick—nature’s own decoy. It’ll wiggle with the wind and look less like a trick. Keep the tarp in the back pocket; when the wind shifts, it’s a quick shield and a reminder that the best tools are the ones you can carry without a circuit board.
