    Due to drone laws & restrictions, does anyone else feel it to be nearly impossible to legally fly anywhere other than their backyard...?

    I totally understand with that it only takes one deal with the wrong person and there goes the drone. Reminds me of a dumb *** buddy of mine offers the wrong guy a joint and got a free ride to the joint 🤣🤣🤣 what is that saying "everything is legal till you get caught " 🤣🤣

    That's my understanding as well from some explanations I've been given on what is considered commercial use I can't even use my drone to take pics of my house to use for selling and as one person put it God forbid that picture ends up on a Christmas card now that maybe a stretch but there...

    I believe you missed understood after taking the pics of me and my girlfriend I was offered money to take pictures of another couple if I would have accepted the offer I would have been in violation as I do not currently have a 107.

    Ok maybe there's not a big profit to be made but that dose not void my point. Real life situation was on the river with my girlfriend we used the mini to get some pictures together on the rocks totally legit no 107 needed then another couple sees and offered a few bucks if I could take a few...

    It's pretty simple ill agree with safety above all but for the FAA to tell me that with a 107 I can get 100ft agl clearance but without I can't even launch makes it obvious it's more about profit than safety anyone that has driven a mile down the road knows that a license dose not mean safety.

    That comment sounds a little more commie than American oh those are the rules question and be punished. Besides I'm 2 miles from the red line not like I'm right on base at some point it dose become more about control than safety the part 107 is proof of that. The fact I can buy a drone with no...

    Simple fix I set max height and rth height to maintain well under my tree line thats part of the reason we have those settings right and if they don't trust me to do so then they obviously don't trust me to follow any of the rules and that starts a whole other conversation.

    Because it's not the base preventing me its the faa I've had the conversation with them. Besides that my acre back yard is almost completely surrounded by tress at about 150 feet tall and I can't even get permission to take off.

    I use rainbow with my mini and have spoke with them about the air2s I know at least they plan on supporting air2s once dji releases the sdk. Time frame on that is unknown.
