Hi all.
I tried to find similar topics but couldn't come up with anything relevant. I am a relative newbie when it comes to flying UAVs but I'm facing a bit of an akward problem: I am embarrassed to fly my drone in public.
I have read all the various topics about people being afraid (and with good reason) to put their hard earned cash up in the air, but I am not so much afraid of losing the drone as shy.
I try to avoid taking off around other people, but living in a big city this cannot be avoided even in a big field/park/beachfront. I never deliberately fly over people but the mere act of opening up the drone bag and setting up the aircraft to fly makes me feel overly self-conscious.
I've never had any bad experiences with people confronting me or whatever. In fact quite the opposite; people have been happily curious to see a drone fly around, and always went away with a big smile on their face when I showed them the view from above, but still I feel embarrassed. (Must be my inner Finn shrieking in horror!) ?
Does this happen to anyone else?
