I am a new drone pilot with about 5 flights so far.
I received the p3p 3 weeks ago and the only reason I haven't been flying more is that I have spend most of the time looking for locations to fly.
I had a really bad experience on one of my first flights where a really angry man came up to me and accused me of filming his back yard. He threatened to hit me and destroy my drone if it ever happened again. I eventually talked him down and he ended up saying have a good day.
I was flying at 50-80m up and a good (hard to judge) horizontal distance away from where I presume he lived and was filming the horizon.
So now I'm really careful not to fly anywhere near homes. Along with that, I obviously obey the current rules and regulations which in Denmark is 150 meters from buildings, below 100 meters of altitude and not over public road.
I feel that it leaves me with very few places to fly and the ones that I have found, like fields etc., makes it hard to create interesting footage.
Where do you guys fly and have you had similar bad experience with aggressive people?
Sorry for the lengthy post.
