Do you have a drone?

[ovrszd]

I agree concerning dj1. Only thing I don't like about Mavic is not being able to use a larger screened tablet?

Fair point. I like my set up for better viewing.

...
People use credit cards, carry smart phones, use EZPass, and the government has drones and satellites that can gather all kinds of data about you without even knowing. Those same people get all heated up that a neighbor might fly over their house with a drone. Makes absolutely no sense to me. .

I don't particularly like the fact that the government or businesses can spy on me whenever they feel like it. I guess you are saying that because they can, I shouldn't mind if you do too?

I'm sure you have great fun with it, but please keep your video camera out of my backyard.

...I've never even seen another drone other than mine.

Bet your neighbors wish they could say the same...

What I am saying is your fear of toy drones is irrational.

Every drone thread here gets sidetracked this way. Maybe there should be a "Hobby drone paranoia containment" thread.

Sure thing. Won't step foot IN your backyard. Don't need to:

Nikon Coolpix P900 zoom range test - Pensiunea Armonia - YouTube (has tractor content, relevant)

Nikon coolpix P900 83x optical zoom world record - video test on moon - YouTube

Nikon P900 test zoom - YouTube

That camera is only $720CAD btw, cheaper than a drone.

I think my neighbor is stalking me, seen him googling my name on his computer through my telescope. :laughing:

I'm thankful you won't go skulking around my property (on foot) recording with a video camera. Why not? Is that a little too creepy? Yet you defend piloting a flying camera around my property. It's the same perversion dude.

They sure look like they're lots of fun. I've thought about getting one. If I do, I sure hope I don't suddenly develop a desire to become a peeping Tom. :shocked:

I don't go randomly recording anywhere. I'm not defending anyone using anything creepily, just saying because it's on a quadcopter, doesn't make it a peeping Tom device. You are lumping all together with the "bet your neighbors" comment. You worried about dash cams in traffic while you are picking your nose too? Go outside and shout in the air at the Google Earth satellites? Get over it. Rock and Roll, radio, swing dancing and these new fangled flying contraptions are here to stay, like it or not. I get requests from neighbors to fly, check out tall Silo's fiberglass tops for condition, updated farm pictures, family reunion air shots. It's just another tool, like a camera with zoom, a thermal image camera, a cell phone.

What super interesting life you must lead if you think everyone's interested in flying along your property line recording I suppose. Maybe you ought to get to know all your neighbors and it wouldn't be an issue.

Looks kinda... Weird, but an option I suppose:

Wow, I seemed to have hit a nerve!

I certainly didn't mean to lump all drone operators together, and I guess I misread your comments. I was thinking you were defending piloting a flying video recorder around your neighbor's places without permission. As you pointed out, there are plenty of fun and useful reasons to have one, but some seem to want to justify their invading other's privacy. I'm glad you're not one of them, and I apologize.
