Thanks. You guys are light years ahead of me in tech knowledge when it comes to video composition and editing.

Thanks guys. So what does "p" stand for? (Not necessary for Moz to reply to this.)

Thanks, GK. I am relatively new to quad flying but growing to like it more with each new level I pass.

I had no idea. I still don't. What are you talking about - 540 pixels, I guess? So I should up the ante? OK, I will certainly look into it. Back atcha if I can't figure out how to do it. Thanks for the tip! BTW - how can you tell I am low on pixels just by looking at the video? It looks...

Here it is, boys! My second POI video with my Phantom 4. Edited, music added - not too shabby, hey? And NO COPS. Easy peasy. Next on my hit list - Pasadena City Hall!

Then you're not paranoid. Focus, Moz, focus ......

Of course not. As one of my client's once said: "You'd be paranoid too if people were after YOU."

Yeah, but I'm not paranoid. ;)

The first thing I did was put my name and three phone numbers (home, work, cell) on my drone as well as my FAA registration number. Very important to do that.

Of course. Then you can be a true, DRONEAPPRECI8TOR.

Get a Phantom 4. Bite the bullet and spend the bucks. Anything less is not going to hold up in the wind. A Phantom 4 will.

The gimbal holds the camera and allows the camera to move independently from the movement of the drone. You can use settings to make the gimbal do a number of things. You can keep the camera level to the horizon while the drone tilts to the left or right while making a turn or you can keep the...

There are cases and there are cases. I have a case for my Syma that allows the props to stay on the quad but not the prop guards. I have a case for my Phantom 4 that doesn't allow diddily - I have to remove both the prop guards and the props. If storage with props and prop guards is an issue...

Sigh .... Chuck, old sport, you are consistently missing my point. I realize that there are a number of ways a cop can arrest or cite someone for flying a drone over a house if he or she wants to pursue them. OK. That's a given. I am only trying to point out that, at least in California, you...

A legal civil battle, but not a legal criminal battle. My only concern on this thread is the threat of criminal prosecution for flying a quad over a house.

I recognize that a "creative" officer can always find some law to cite or arrest someone under. The arrest may not stand up in court but your point is well taken - why go through all the hassle if it can be avoided in the first instance? The only point I am making is that, at present, there is...

Looks like they are talking about airplanes here, rather than quads. I'm not a pilot, but I suspect that if a Cessna flew ten feet over someone's house, the pilot would be in serious trouble with the FAA and probably a host of other agencies/jurisdictions.

Great advice. I have previously neglected to mention height or altitude of your quad. The higher my quad flies over someone else's house, the less chance (1) it will even be noticed and (2) complained about.

California did enact this statute (Civil Code 1708.8), but the point you are overlooking is that this is not a criminal statutue. All it does is create an avenue for someone to sue a drone operator civilly for damages if the plaintiff feels that his/her privacy was invaded. Oh, I am well...
