Great, I'd really be interested in seeing that! Thanks again!

That makes sense! It seemed like it was cropping more sometimes than others. I couldn't figure out what I was doing wrong, but I guess the wind is the controlling factor. I know I had to apply a little smoothing in davinci, but the crop factor was way less than what the camera was doing. Thanks...

I've started playing around with hyper lapse and I've had a hard time figuring out why my shots are zoomed when playing them back, so I put the drone up in the front yard to do a test shot and was pleasantly surprised when I found this coming at me! Still not sure why I'm getting a bit of...

Yes, the link in Vic's original post goes to a webpage where you can add your comments on the proposal. you can also read all the comments that have already been submitted. Reading them will give you a good idea of what to paraphrase.

I agree and have submitted my own human generated comments!

I've edited this post as my comments derailed Vic's efforts. Everyone, please follow Vic's advise and submit comments to the NYPD on this subject!

I ran this through ChatGPT with your talking points and here's what I got, Change it up to make it your own. Subject: Request to Reconsider Proposed Drone Regulation Dear [Recipient's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to express my concerns regarding the recently proposed...

Yeah, that was just a canned response one of his underlings sent you! Sounds like he'd be a supporter of the bill anyway. No ground to be made there!

Yep, I remember the days when I could play poker for money on the internet. A bill came out wanting to shut online gambling down. Everyone said, "it'll never pass there not enough support for it"! A few shifty senators attached it to a sure to pass port security bill, voted on it at 2AM in the...

I agree, this is a useful bit of info! Here's the regulations: § 135.203 VFR: Minimum altitudes. Except when necessary for takeoff and landing, no person may operate under VFR— (a) An airplane— (1) During the day, below 500 feet above the surface or less than 500 feet horizontally from any...

Really? You might want to watch some of the videos on youtube of pilots using CSC. It's not instantaneous and before that you're going to enter into the menu system and set the emergency stop option? First off, I'm going to be paying attention, like @Rip said, situational awareness is key! I'm...

Ok then, I'll concede that free fall is faster, but I'll still be keeping control of my drone in an avoidance situation!

I've seen you mention this in several threads and I have to tell you CSC is a terrible way to avoid a manned aircraft. You want to get out of the way as fast as you can and still maintain control of your drone. Maximum downward thrust is going to have your drone descend much safer than just...
