So you flew into a bus. Lucky you didn’t cause an accident, Nice work for a “photojournalist“. did you have permission to fly at street level in a city?

Government greed shutting down the drone industry? Absurd! As was stated here, it’s the fools flying dangerously, and the technology that gives a 10 year old the ability to operate one, that are “the coming death” of the hobby.

Truth hurts, iLarson. Put down the phone and get a life.

There will still be a couple of years before these regs go into effect. Comment away when the period opens up, but it won’t change anything. Too many drones, too many millenials flying and texting at the same time.

I don’t know. The more I read the posts in this forum, the more I think you and I may be the exception to the rule of flying respectfully and within the law. Can you imagine all the drones in the regional parks if they opened it up, chasing down the cows and people out in Briones? I can see it...

Bhart, I feel your pain. I too live in coco county. Unfortunately there are no rural areas to fly because of the population of the sf Bay Area. I’m an avid hiker and biker who uses the trails around here regularly, and nobody appreciates a drone buzzing around while trying to get away from the...

Gold Rush tv show on Discovery is all about drones

Looks beautiful! Thanks for sharing. It’s 60 deg f and sunny here in San Francisco.

Keep joking. “Pitty” you won’t have anywhere to fly in a few months.

This is probably the straw that broke the camels back. Sorry guys, game over for the hobby. Hope you all sell your stuff and don’t lose too much money.

Absolutely correct. There have been many verified close calls reported, and now they think they have a smoking gun. (Removed by Moderator)

Does it protect the camera? How does it keep water out of the shell half’s where they meet? If you fly out over the ocean from the land, and it hits the water, it’s very unlikely you’re going to find anybody to go a mile out to rescue it. It will become another piece of floating garbage in the...

Great detective work guys! The OP should thank you for the assist and saving him $1500.

Did you get permission to fly from Apple? Did you use know before you fly map? Of course not because if you did you would see it’s restricted. Once again, this is why I’ve sold all my gear.people like you make it so no one wil be able to fly.
