Who all carries a DRONE while RVing?

Just curious?
So whats it like?
And what do you do with it?
I have been thinking of buying one, for just kicks and curiosity.
Any words of wisdom? Good or Bad?
Whats a good beginning DRONE to buy for a duffer like me?
Thanks.

The reason I ask this, we were camped at Marin RV Park last week and I saw a fellow camper flying a Drone over the RV Park. But did not get a chance to talk to him.

  • Also remember that most states are enacting laws that prohibit using a drone to pursue, disturb, harass, or locate wildlife.

    Here's an article from my home state's Game and Fish department:
    Drones and Wildlife

    I have witnessed a drone scare a herd of elk so that they ran across a highway endangering the elk and motorists. I won't put up with it anymore. If I see anyone flying a drone anywhere near wildlife, even if accidental, I will notify the authorities.
  • If you belong to a club that has specific designated areas for flying, like radio controlled airplanes and such, then yes, I would think they could be a lot of fun. But if you're wanting to fly one (especially with a camera) over a campground, I don't think the drone will survive.

    Personally, unless you are in a secluded location, non populated, you're only asking for trouble.

    I have a small RC helicopter I picked up from my local pharmacy, paid $20 for it. It flies just fine inside my house living room with cathedral ceilings. I think that's where they should stay. (keep yours in your living room, I'll keep mine in mine.)
