I'm wondering if anyone else experiences flight anxiety like I do. Let me first say that I am new to this hobby. So, maybe as I get more flights under my belt, this anxiety will diminish. Currently, I've pretty much flown in my backyard, where I hope it is safe.
I'm a photographer and bought the Mavic for the unique photographic perspective it can provide. But it seems there are so many things to worry about before, during and after flying. For example, right or wrong, foolish or smart, justified or unjustified, I worry about the following:
• Upsetting others around me when I fly. Seems there's always some anti-drone person around.
• The police showing up because of some complaint. Even if I'm doing everything by the book, I'm not a confrontational person, so I would quickly acquiesce if told by authorities to stop flying and move on.
• Rules, rules, rules. Am I flying over too many people? Is this gathering of people considered a public event? Am I five miles away from an airport? Am I five miles away from the nearest helipad?
• Am I on private or public property?
• Am I disturbing someone's privacy?
• Is the drone too loud?
• Is it legal to fly here? Is it legal to fly above whatever I'm above?
• Will I lose the drone? Will it flyaway?
• Do I have all the settings correct?
• Will I crash land and make a fool of myself?
Please share any experiences you may have had or still have when flying? How did you overcome them, or do you still experience them when flying?
Thanks!
