Hey guys, just got back from New Orleans last weekend and man did I have a ball flying it around the city. Tried to capture a little bit of everything. Let me know your feedback on my video :)

Give the video a thumbs up on YouTube if you enjoyed it! And happy flying
 
Nice job - great promo for the city. Next time get out to the 9th Ward and you will see a different side of town. Great video..

Just curious, you broke every FAA law that I have seen......is that normal?

And what might ALL those laws be? You must've only seen 1 law lol and yes completely normal. There's content creators out there making tons of money a year flying drones around like this for videos. But enlighten me on "every law you've seen"
 
Great job on the video, looks like you and your lady had a great time. Now I'm thinking about a trip.

Thanks! And yessss Jackson Square is such a cool place to walk around and cannot beat the music on Frenchman street!

Yes one law...........you flew over people and you flew over an extremely busy French Quarter, I don't know if its normal or not. I just look at the FAA regulations....specifically prohibit flying over people, I live here and when I saw that shot flying over Harrah's Casino.....I know that area very well. You also have a Youtube with you catching the drone, and you now officially here on this site. So, just curious normal that folks are doing this?
 
lol I figured you'd only "seen" one drone law. Happy flying
 
Your lucky a state trooper didn't nail you.......I've seen it happen here. If they had spotted that drone over Jackson Square you are getting locked up....

Jackson Square was not busy this morning and I actually ran into a state trooper patrolling the square and he politely asked me to take it down. No jail time here. Sorry
 
Dude you flew over the top of Harrah's Casino on Canal Street that's the a busy intersection in the central business district..... then you say you were visiting last week and now you say you're here again that's pretty convenient..... sounds to me like they actually stopped you from shooting at Jackson Square last week, where early in the morning there really are no people.
 
"This morning" as in the morning the video took place. Anyways, what drone are you flying?

Happy flying!
 
Did you have to get permission to fly the city? I moved away from Chicago due to employment transfer but I remember how aggressive that city was about my flying. Columbus on the other hand hasn't bothered me. Great video but I wish there were more Ariel.
 
Great video, and even better editing skills. I did question whether the airspace was permissible to fly in (I used to DJ a bar at 735 Bourbon, so I'm familiar), and AirMap shows it as A381 Special Use Airspace.
 
The visual are excellent.
Its not an airspace issue, its a flying over people.
Its ten thousand bucks if the FAA wants it......its a lock.
 
Awesome vid. Curious as to what editing program you're using and what craft you're flying. I could def see this as a promo for the city tourism association.
