ONLY freshwater fishing statistics of ONLY FL residents: $21,816,578 annual 2014-2015 Projected UAV/Drone Sales through 2021: $12,000,000,000 / $1000 per drone = 12,000,000 new UAV/Drones by 2021 I don't think we are talking chump change by any means. If the forecast for the community is...

The California legislation seems absurd and way over the top, how does one work commercially? It can't be $2k per day to operate as a business can it? There has to be some avocation on our community's side to stand up for our rights as well, are there any groups actively fighting to maintain...

I say "business interest" in terms of the government making more money from the situation...

Insurance will conform as does the community as with all things related to each other. With enough support and numbers backing a cause there will be a need to make these things more "consumer" friendly. The technology of drone flight/capture/capability is already heading in this direction as...

UAV & Drone Insurance

Again there is no reason both sides can't have what is within their rights as taxpayers without reasonable legislation or rules. I have no problem staying clear of campsites with my drone.

Being a resident I also camp and hike most weeks at many state parks in Florida if not every couple of weeks most every month.

I appreciate your opinion but you can't tell me on an 800 acre parcel of land you can hear a drone across its entirety opposite your campsite can you?

But like you said, on the amount of acreage between State and Federal land there is plenty of space to fly and capture amazingly beautiful imagery without disturbing a soul.

And I honestly feel like having to apply for a permit and provide proof of insurance would eliminate most of the "jerks" and those irresponsible. Outside of that, handle it on a case by case basis. If someone is going up and buzzing wildlife just to be immature and inconsiderate then prosecute...

Look, I'm not suggesting that any 15 y/o with a drone be able to fly. I'm saying that the parks could charge for permits to fly after verifying that the pilot carries suitable insurance. This would allow for responsible pilots to have TONS of acreage at their disposal to fly and capture pictures...

Not only that but it is a much safer place to fly than in the city or in residential areas or even smaller city parks. I am a new UAV pilot but at the same time I have been a professional photographer for over 10 years, I have experience with pole aerial systems and I just feel like the...

just a different forum thread in general discussion

I think they want the thread to stay closed, I'd be happy to converse here: Legalize UAV/Drone flying in FL State Parks!

You might be right, but without showing support it will be hard to sway any of those "select" few individuals. I just can't believe that this hasn't already been done. I have looked up plenty online today and have found quite a bit of what is, as of now considered absolutely illegal footage on...
