When a person or persons come over to watch and ask questions, I'll tell them, give me a minute....then....
I'll put the bird in RHM, and while it is coming 'home', I move the people/person to my side, then bring the bird level to us, in hover mode, spin the bird around so camera is facing us and then show the people/person themselves on camera. Then I will take the bird up 10-15 feet or so and show them again, what they look like from 'up there'. I will then bring the bird back to the landing pad and when props have stopped spinning and the bird is 'dead'. I will talk to the person/persons and answer questions. If there are children or young adults I'll ask if they want a picture of themselves, from the bird. Almost always the answer is yes, so I'll get out my flight notes, notebook, and write down their email addresses and when I get home and start editing, I'll grab a good shot and send it to the requester. I'll pass along info on learning to fly drones and strongly suggest they buy some of the auto stabilizing cheapo 'pocket' drones from Amazon and learn to fly the 4 points of the compass while learning the vertical axis control. *Then* think about something more sophisticated.
I get this frequently when I fly from parks or school grounds. Not so much while in campgrounds, don't know why.
BTW, before anyone says anything...I will not text photographs, as I do not ever give out my cell phone number..Only 19 people know it, all family.
