The media's shooting itself in the foot. Later, they'll realize that's a good idea to save money and use small UAVs for news coverage instead of full size helicopter. I understand, it's fun to ride a helicopter, but it costs money :) Unfortunatelly, the politicians are indeed voting on whatever...

I took 2 images earlier today from 100 feet and 50 feet using my Phantom Vision 2+. The pictues themselves can answer privacy concerns. I doubt somebody can really recognize my face by using these pictures. Please feel free to click on the images to see them at maximum resolution (4384 x 2466...

Re: I laugh when I hear people say "Amazon Air will never wo Never say never. Sooner or later drone delivery system will work. If the USA is to restrictive on regulations, drone delivery will start somewhere else. Software and hardware will become better. And probably they'll begin with FPV...

Yes, it's a good idea to practice first in a open field. After you get enough confidence, then you may try flying even in you neighborhood. On top of the foil mod, you can try first to move the GPS cable under the insulation. Be prepared to switch to ATTI if the Phantom stops answering to your...

I see 2 categories of concern related to UAVs: privacy and safety. The general public is concerned about privacy by overestimating what can be done and "seen" by a Phantom. It will take some time, but with current trend, it's quite possible than people may "accommodate" better to quads flying...
