Not sure what Constitutional issues you think are implicated by the police operating a drone in a public place, observing people gathering in groups of 50 or more in that public place. Whether the loiter time is 24 minutes, 24 hours, or 24 days is not germane to that kind of operation. They...

I sincerely doubt any text would satisfy you, given your anti-police stance. I, myself, find Florida’s law quite sufficient.

Going to bin the intro. What do you all prefer for transitions?

Thank you for the thorough reply. I’ll watch it again with those comments in mind, and definitely look at cinematic mode and cruise control. I’ve got a few other video locations in mind, so I’ll give those a run.

Mostly just checking out random spots for future shooting opportunities. I shoot a lot more stills than video, so trying to get better with that. There were probably more than a few opportunities there for more interesting shots that I didn't see / capitalize on.

Hi everyone! I just posted up an edit of some flying over the weekend. Please feel free to offer comments / suggestions / brutally honest appraisals. Thanks!
