I'm not surprised it doesn't affect photos or videos. It's just a hole surrounded by plastic. There's no lens, or anything, in the centre.

Another one for charging multiple things simultaneously.

Digging a little deeper, it looks like it is the National Park rules that are also the ones in effect in a National Recreation Area. Ha, based on the past (and probably still ongoing) battles between the homeowners who have the oceanfront homes trying to keep the riff-raff off their "so...

Yep. I used the link provided in post #36 to screenshot the entirety of the park in #37. And also, as pointed out, B4UFLY also lists the entire area as part of the Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area, all the way down to the tide line, Well, there are a couple of really tiny...

Kinda like I was afraid of. It's easier to just push the boundary to some logical point (the ocean) than it is to draw fiddly lines around the shopping malls, the town centre, and lots of expensive properties owned by people who wouldn't want mere mortals on the beach in front of their...

I know the strobes are only a few grams, but wouldn't CoG be as much of a concern.

Oh yes, the NP covers everything around Malibu. B4UFLY has the complete area swathed in red. But I would like to know where the "exact" boundaries are, particularly when you go south, to the ocean, south of PCH: There is also this: City of Malibu – Filming Permit In order to operate a...

Are there any maps available that show the exact boundaries of NPs. As an example, I'm interested in getting some shots in Malibu that are south of PCH, but B4UFLY shows the restriction going down to the ocean, no matter where along PCH you are, even in the built up areas, that are not NP.

Also for 107 every drone has to be individually registered. For 44809, registration is only needed for drones over 249g and a single registration can be used for any number of drones.

I had one of the very first batch of Corrado's to hit the UK, with the NA Golf GTI engine. Had to give it back to the company I worked for when I moved to the US in '92. Now I drive around in this:

The FAA rules are the same for all drones.

What I was kinda stating is that even in Los Angeles city, not all the parks are under the control of Parks and Rec. If you go the their website at Parks the list of facilities does not encompass all of the (green) parks shown on the map,

When I ordered the drone, I knew I'd be kinda restricted on where I could fly based on where I live. I just didn't realise how restrictive. It's kinda sucky having to drive as far as I have to for 30 minutes of flight time.

Not sure it's quite that black and white. (OK, I'm a new pilot, so maybe there's history that I'm not aware of). Maybe "on a whim" was the wrong phase, although I have seen posts about folks getting exemptions/waivers that cover a number of months. If you look at the 8 limitations associated...

I'm seriously thinking of trying to get the certification if it will allow me to fly recreationally close to my house on a whim, instead of having to drive every time.
