Where I live, there are hunter harassment laws to protect hunters from interference by those that may not like or disagree with their activities. If I was out hunting, and a drone FLEW BY, not to be seen again, I could care less. However, if I'm out hunting and a drone keeps buzzing me and...

Could you explain what issue(s) you were having?

I certainly trust what Mr. Moss states. If it were me, I'd make every attempt to contact the balloon pilot to discuss my desires. They just might be over joyed and request some specific "views" that they would like to see, and you could share your snaps/videos with them and both be happy with a...

I would like to have seen YT receive some form of reprimand as well for permitting this contributor to post illegal activities as well. There are SO MANY on YT performing reprehensible activities, all to acquire attention, that are so disruptive, not to mention, dangerous, to society. Having...

Where I live, the relative humidity goes down as the temps do. I would think that going from a warmer to colder environment would "freeze" any moisture surrounding the battery. If you are concerned, and I would be, of condensation forming, I think it would occur when you go from sub zero to...

With all the "craziness" that exists in this world, seeing such innovations gives me hope for the survival the human race. Not that this specific development will be the great "savior", but that there are so many folks in the world working on advancements like this. On a side note, the design of...

In all honesty, I must express my own ignorance in this matter. The image you referred to looks exactly what the one I am concerned about where I live and fly. So I guess I disturbed the bee hive by my ignorance and I'm sorry. I really appreciate everyone's input, and found out more information...

I was wondering if anyone has had personal experience with flying in association/proximity to microwave towers? Specifically, 1. Did they effect your bird's initial home point registration? 2. Did they effect your GPS? 3. Is there any accepted "safe" distance one should take off/fly from them...

Wish I could have been there to see them! I think they are bada$$ and wished I could have flown one!!!

Not at this time. I was storing my drone and thousands of trail cam videos on an external HD and a couple weeks ago, when attempting to add additional files, I got the error msg. that my HD had malfunctioned and my computer could no longer recognize it! So, it is at a data recovery...

I live out west and came upon an elk herd one day. I flew over them at a very high altitude, keeping my eye on their body language. I ever so slowly started to drop down, and when I saw them look at my drone, or stop doing what they were doing (eating, sleeping, grooming, etc.) I retreated. I...

Endangered?

I would so like to comment here, but fear my comments would be stricken and/or my acct. would be removed. Suffice it to say, I'm glad the kid wasn't a better shot!

When I first got my quad, I made the mistake of trying to fly in a controlled air space. It has been many years since then, but I seem to recall that once I got air born, I got a very stern message on my controller indicating I was in violation, and that I MUST land immediately, and failing to...

Just as there's more than one way to "skin a cat", there's more than one way to learn how to fly one's drone. When I first started out, I was concerned that my new drone may succumb to a similar fate as the OP, so I went online and found an abundance of advice for "exercises" to PRACTICE and...
