    Unlawful use of a drone to capture video of killer whales.

    Flying without a permit was definitely not the thing to do. They should have just went further up the coast and then tried to get a permit with the US, they might have done better.

    "No Drone Zone" posters in Italy, how legally binding are they?

    Remember when you go before the judge he is a local. The people you're going against are his neighbors and relatives and you are the stranger. Move on.

    Do what you can with whatever you have any time you can. Just keep going.

    "No Drone Zone" posters in Italy, how legally binding are they?

    You don't live there. Don't fly. If government put them there, they'll be after you if you fly. If a private citizen put them there, he has a chip on his shoulder and he will be after you. Move on.

    US lawmakers fear DJI drones will be weaponized

    I have said this before. If we, the common man, can figure out the world of espionage, then that country isn't very good at it. There is a lot more to it.

    3 Botev peak betwiin the rains

    Nice high flight. I would love to see a more close up. Maybe waterfalls or rock formations. Such a beautiful place to fly. Nobody hang gliding? I would like to see more of park. You are a little crazy flying in such weather so far, but made a good video.

    3 Owyhee Canyon Lands from Leslie Gulch to Succor Creek

    Nice flying. I always think what would happen if you hit something up on a Hilltop how would you get your drone back?

    3 Old bridge remains over Veselina river

    A bridge to where? No answer is needed. That what I think when I walk in the forest.

    Air 3 A sunny spring day at the Lovell Radio Telescope, Jodrell Bank, UK

    I think they had a report of alien llifeforms.Then someone reported seeing a drone fly by. Lol. I loved your video. I think radio telescopes look so unreal. I am amazed that it wasn't a NFZ. We have a valley of Radio telescopes here in West Virginia, called, Green Banks. A movable one is larger...

    Why doesn't DJI drones have an IP rating?

    That's pretty good for Phoenix. Lol. Last March I had fun flying around Queen Valley. I wasn't the least bit worried about water.

    Why doesn't DJI drones have an IP rating?

    I'm sure each of DJI'S products are a little different. Batteries are the weakest link. The Phantom series are pretty water resistant. That is totally on my experience on flying them. My poor Phantom 3-s got the worst of it after spending 3 days under a water fall. I washed the silt out of it...

    Parking lots

    I feel for you. The greater the crowds, the more you have to fight for space. When I lived in the city, I would go out at daybreak. After the prostitutes and the dealers had a full night. When the daylight came, they were gone and there was such solitude. I aways wore a bandana and tried to...

    Parking lots

    I think it's more common sense than legal. Sure legal matters. You can fly stupid in a public place and get into trouble. I also fly smart in private places with no problem. I do a lot of metal detecting. The same thing applies. Private lots are ran by busy people that don't have the time to be...

    Air 3 Lewis and Harris View - Totscore, Isle of Skye

    I love videos that I can observe and absorb the feel of the landscape. I look at the geology and biology. It is like reading a book, but I'm reading the lay of the land and wonder. Thank you.

    Did you Know this ?

    Yep. My wife grew up in Rome and told me a lot of stuff about Pompeii. Plus she has a lot of things, home videos and pictures from there.
