    Flying in Paris

    When I was in Bordeaux I took a tour of a Chateau and asked and was given permission to fly over the vineyards. The only stipulation is that they did not want me to fly near the actual Chateau. So I didn't. However Paris is a very different animal. I have been many times. Do not try to fly your...

    I had an interesting visit from the police the other day.

    My avatar is my filming of one of the most beautiful sunsets I have ever seen. I took it in Thailand. Of all my travels Thailand was by far the most fascinating I have experienced. I flew my drone only when I was a guest at an island resort. Nobody seemed to mind. Just the usual curious...

    Is this Legal? Looking for opinions

    I so agree with you and notice the very same behaviors on this forum. Someone always plays the drone police no matter what you post. Also dare you comment on anything here that does not specifically say "drone" in it and they delete what you wrote. I have also seen that "Honey Badger" video and...

    Watch how Amazon is preparing for safe drone delivery

    They will have to establish a heliport for the drones and dispatch from a central location. Imagine all the factors for a truck and crew to drive to a general location and be responsible for drone launches. Truth is the delivery of packages by drones is merely one of the technologies emerging...

    Watch how Amazon is preparing for safe drone delivery

    Surprised at the size of those drones. But amazing concept. Clearly can't see them pulling it off in dense cities though. This looks like a rural America implementation only.

    Drones flying over crowds at Lollapalooza

    Let's see a video of this! We are all land drones with camera phones. Someone shot it. If it happened.

    Helicopter blades are dangerous.

    I flew in one in London and the helicopter came to a complete stop (no spinning blades) before they let us exit helicopter. And a ground crew person stood right by the door and held arm up to move us away from helicopter. This does sound like pilot and ground crew negligence.

    Snow flying. Bad idea?

    You are a brave man! Fantastic video though. Love how the snow flicks off the camera.

    New Pilot from Tooting, South London, UK

    Hi, I am leaving from NY to London soon. I would appreciate any locations that you would recommend for safe drone (Mavic Mini) flying. I have looked into the "Flying Field" at Richmond park. Also have heard that the following places in London allow drone flying: Boston Manor Park, Duke's Meadows...

    How to fly and turn smoothly

    I do not have as much experience as you. However, I learned to control my Mini in "round" and "oval" turns in large open fields with the drone about 5 meters high. Being able to visually observe the drone at low altitude and learn the remote stick movements to get the drone to turn in more...
