I am thinking of picking up one of those UAV/OFFICIAL Wind breakers that are for sale

Approximately $22...i would think that WEARING one would possibly deter [Language removed by Moderator] innocent bystanders who have a beef with disrespecting THEIR property !!

Thinking back to the night last week where i was in a extremely stressful situation with a local Bozo with too much time on his hands ready to fight over my invasion of his property

I joke around but i can see how they feel a bit..THEY don't know that we (i) don't have any ill intent !

I wonder if the suit..an OFFICIAL looking vest ..LICENSED Commercial Drone Pilot

Do you think that having one of these vests on it would cut down on confrontations with the public ?

I believe that it WOULD help

I have never had ONE incident flying in my area...i usually fly in a huge park adjacent to my home

Most of the time people approach ME and ask questions about how they work...how much they cost etc.

I had one guy come to me and asked me about the price...when i told him he almost fell over

Maybe because where i fly in NYC people are physically up against one another most of the time and SHARING the space is more common

I haven't flown today yet but i am sure that my local flying area will be packed with hundreds of people and the space is shared because of the HUGE but limited space for all

all i know is that i will THINK TWICE when out of town when i fly

I will be going to PARADOX LAKE in The Adirondack Mountains of NY for a week...i just left a message to ask the owner of the place we will be at re the local feeling about Drones...the place is adjacent to the lake..a HUGE Lake and i want to fly along it and above it as much as possible

No better scene than awe inspiring Natural Beauty

Thanks all for your comments and Experience...So very much appreciated..i Learn from you all and THANKS !

You may be correct, but you don't need an official UAV vest. just get a normal light green with the reflective striping on it and you will look as if your working.

Hmmm...seems "official to me "...If you told me to move on...i may very well...Move on.. depending on how many beers i had in the old BELLY
 
I've never had anyone bother me when wearing a safety vest that said licensed commercial drone pilot. In fact, I had one park ranger (where I had permission to film) ask me if I wanted the park closed.

No kidding ?

LOVE it + Thanks
