    NY Village banning drones?

    My hometown of Charlottesville, Virginia was the 1st city to ban drones. Some idiot buzzed thru the streets a few years ago, making a commercial. He was fined by the FAA, challenged it in court over jurisdiction, and won, but was fined for something else and lost (or so the story goes).

    water in camera lens

    RTH failed by 10 yards and I went into a lake. Took off the lens but there is still something there causing fog in the pics/videos. Can I take it apart further to get rid of it?
