    Thanks EU

    It saddens me to see people confuse 'freedom' with 'selfishness'. We live in a society and we as a society agree together what is acceptable, legal behaviour that we can all benefit from. Yet there still exist those who for their own selfish reasons want to do what they want to do and **** the...

    Legality of flying at home

    I had exactly this situation with a person last week flying her drone above the houses on my estate. The local whatsapp group was exploding with complaints about the drone spying on them in their gardens. There is a small country park next to our estate where I practice and so I jumped into the...

    SCAMMED BY DJI REPAIR TEAM/ADVICE NEEDED

    @PhantomFandom answered your post extremely well in post #2 above. You really do need to understand how businesses operate at the volume we are talking about. It is far far cheaper for DJI to operate a replace policy over a repair policy. This saving is passed on to you as a consumer so that...

    Flying Etiquette

    You were on a professional job with permission to fly complying with all rules and a guy complained and you were reaching for a gun (presumably with full intent on shooting the guy, otherwise why reach for the gun) over a drone shot, with no discussion and no explanation between you?

    I took my drone over to PA last year whilst on a business trip. Managed to get a few flights in without issue. People tend to leave you alone or watch from a distance if they are interested.

    Probably not worth much if he is breaking the law

    Yes. Wasn't that hard was it?

    Would you fly this route?

    I did. It is. You described it as a schoolhouse which you then said was closed due to Covid. I made suggestions based on that. Obviously you are not looking for help, just either attention or a troll. It's a national park. You're not allowed to fly there. Period. There's your answer.

    Would you fly this route?

    Looks like the whole place is a national park so you can't fly there anyway........

    Would you fly this route?

    Ah right. I thought you said it was closed due to Covid.

    Would you fly this route?

    I would suggest calling the school governor and getting permission to take off from their land. There's no kids there right now so no danger. Safer for you, safer for them and they might appreciate a copy of the footage. Better that way than acting like a secret agent flying a mission over the...

    Would you fly this route?

    You want to fly around filming a schoolhouse from 2 miles away?

    Would you fly this route?

    It looks like you want to attempt a 2 mile (non VLOS) flight to film a house which is far easier to access from a closer take off point. Why all the risk?
