I am new to drones, and to this forum. I have spend hours watching u tube tutorials and used same to make myself an awesome set of an updated user manual. I do not live anywhere near any of you and so I am not governed by health and safety rules and regulations of Europe and America. Having said that, I am 63 years old, and I am not about to go endangering my drone, jeopardising my proposed livelihood and endanger my fellow man. I have read, understood and agree with all the universally accepted and understood rules, regulations with ref no fly zones, flying conditions and safety aspects of owning a drone.
My concern is that I have been asked to video school type activities and events - involving crowds of people, participants and spectators. I have read a few postings about flying over crowds, and the one point coming across very clearly is that this is strictly a no no.
I have not given an affirmation that I would do the video, but may I ask what the general feeling is among like minded safety conscious pilots to the aspect of flying over crowds, what would be considered an acceptable insurance undertaking to the school, the crowd, a safe flight altitude etc.
