Guests sue groom over drone strike at wedding.

Wedding guests sue groom after 'drone crashes into their faces while they dance''

The bride said, “She was so worried about me doing something stupid.” He succeeded.

Bet the guest wins! That pilot violated every rule, guideline, law (whatever you want to insert here) about not flying over people.

So he didn't have the controls and is unsure of who did. Forget about flying over people, I think not knowing who is controlling your aircraft is likely a bigger sin.

A waiter and the DJ says the groom was flying it....

"Scott Robb II, vice president of Searles Castle, said he never gave Billcliff permission to fly the drone. In fact, when Robb saw the drone buzzing around outside the tent earlier, he says he told Billcliff to ground it. Later, Robb said, a waiter informed him the groom had maneuvered the drone into the tent.

Robb ran over but it was too late. Blood was gushing from one woman’s head. Robb called for an ambulance.

The DJ, Robb said, told him the groom was operating the drone at the time."

Yeah, he should have had prop guards!

I'm thinking of trying this, but maybe use an Inspire 2 (Available in maybe March according to the B&H Photo rep at the LA Drone Expo.) but with a 45mm lens and ditch the wide/normal lens. The 45mm would be about a 90mm on a 35mm camera so it's a bit of telephoto. That would put the drone about 25 feet away and cover anyone up to 7 feet (tall) and maybe 10 feet wide area for a single person, further out for a group. The wide lenses normally coming with these things is just too close for comfort.

Lol obviously the drone had no GPS lock as it was inside with lots of metal armour, metal lights, etc... no doubt and the compass just spazed out lol

Crazy. This whole thing was obviously not thought out in advance. I saw a video somewhere of an Inspire delivering the wedding bands. Prop guards were on and the operator was close by.
