Who has a Drone they take Camping?
I know drones are a bit of a two way street, some people love them and others hate them. Admittedly they can be noisy and a nuisance if flown in the wrong place. In many places they are often restrict...

I don't know; do you?). As for the road, you even admit that there are no cars on the road, so that is NOT a violation (unless a car shows up, correct?)4x4van wrote:
I don't own a drone, and have no interest in going through the required reading to test for and obtain an RPC. And what makes you so sure that "pheelsgoodman" is required to have a RPC, as opposed to simply flying his unit under the "Special Rule for Model Aircraft - Section 336"?
Which is why I asked you what the violations were. If you are unwilling to clarify your accusations, then perhaps you shouldn't have made them.
No where did I even get anywhere close to saying pheelsgoodman is required to have a remote pilot certificate. Take a good look at that picture. There are people in those rafts, and it APPEARS the drone is hovering over two public roads which is fine, until the first car comes along. Maybe that shot is over a closed road and the people in those rafts were part of his video production, then its ***** good. Perhaps you should not attempt to not put words in people's mouths. Accusations? LOL.
You missed my point....I have probably violated every rule in the book at one time or another,maybe,possibly, and I hold an RPC because I need it for my business. I do not however post pictures and videos on SM and YouTube doing so, because that can be how you get certified letters in the mail from a certain government entity, which happens way more than most people believe. Are you going to get one flying in upper east hicksville Wyoming and posting a video? Probably not......try it in an urban area anywhere close to restricted airspace and post it up on Youtube, see what happens.
Sincerly.....the drone police.
In any case, my initial point was simply that you stated, quite clearly, that his pics appeared to directly violate at least 2 FAA rules; Since I am not a drone owner/operator but would like to eventually own one, I simply asked what those violations were, and rather than clarify, you instead made us all jump through hoops to finally get an answer to a seemingly simple question. Was that really necessary?
