Wow, thanks for the lovely compliment. I’m glad you enjoyed the video. I’d love to have a proper pc to be able to do some better editing as there was tons of footage I couldn’t use. Nonetheless, I absolutely love taking the drone with me to places like this.
you're welcome. i wonder while you taking shot with drone, do you need to get approval / permission first?
Laws for drone photography are the same as any other camera. It's just a camera higher in the air. Regulations for flying differ widely per country, city, town, size of drone, etc. Questions are certainly welcome, but we won't allow this to turn into the "drone police". We take it for granted here that folks are flying safely and within their own laws or regs.... or willing to take the risk for themselves of getting caught. Cause just like other photos, sometimes the great ones require a "little" risk.
I've read some heated arguments on some FB groups regarding how folk fly. Like you said, it's up to the individual and if the conditions allow it then why not take a little risk here and there. I tried to fly my drone to the top of Stromboli volcano but my max height restriction kicked in so I only got 2/3 of the way up. Shame as Stromboli is an active volcano and I'd have happily boiled my drone for a shot of some bubbling lava!
Exactly right on the heated arguments piece. While @hollowins post seemed to be an honest, respectable question, I've seen too many groups start that way, and the main reason I stopped using "that other platform" lol. I'm just trying to head it off at the pass before it gets started. "Karens", FAA cop wannabee's, and helicopter mom posts will get muted from the group swiftly and permanently. Your volcano description is a perfect example of why the default limits are good, but should always be allowed to be over-ridden under special circumstances (or just because
it's ashould be a free country).And it harm none, do what ye will; shall be the whole of the law.
Hi, Sorry, that was not my intent/intention. I just amazed by his work. That's all.
Guess I'm still a little shell-shocked from other experiences.. Welcome to the group and please keep on posting!
Oh if only we did live in a free country, imagine that 😃 for now we will have to be ruled in accordance with the dumbest minority, or is it the possibility of someone being dumb? Seems common law is a forgotten code.
I never knew my Mavic had this height restriction built in but I've heard that it can be hacked out. Not sure how my insurance would feel about me doing that though. It's a shame really as my signal was still full so I'm sure I could have made it to the top of the volcano.
@hollowins, there are certain things you need depending on the drone you fly. For mine I need a basic license but other than that it's all down to my judgement about how safe it is to be where I am. If it all goes wrong I hope my liability insurance is worth the money I pay for it 🤣
