    Filming nature in Texas froma drone. Can or cannot do?

    Thanks. My hope in posting this question is to get some first-hand feedback from Texas drone flyers about their personal experience in this regard. I am a professional. This means that if I do something, I do it to make a profit. I am not a hobbyist. Hobbyists spend thousands to tickle...

    Filming nature in Texas froma drone. Can or cannot do?

    I agree with you. My problem is I have a deeper understanding of how Game Wardens work. The GW is the one you deal with and they are the ones that basically decide how they are going to enforce the law. A "Wide Brush" stipulation such as this one "photograph any wildlife is unlawful", is too...

    Filming nature in Texas froma drone. Can or cannot do?

    Thanks. My concern is not the FAA. I know all their regs. My concern is the TPWD. FAA makes federal laws, but local and state authorities are making their own laws, making the issue so complex that basically taking a drone off from the most benign place could land you in trouble. Are you...

    Filming nature in Texas froma drone. Can or cannot do?

    Okay, I live in Texas. My primary reason for getting my part 107 is so that I can film nature. But a recently found that the Texas Parks and Wildlife say you cannot film nature with a drone.

    New Holy Stone HS270. Just about nothing seems to work.

    Thanks. Follow Me is my number one requirement since I am normally working alone. This is one reason I did not go with the Mavic Mini nor the Mini 2. Neither have Follow Me. I think the Air 2 ($799) is the lowest-priced DJI drone with Follow Me. It is not like I am not willing to spend that...

    New Holy Stone HS270. Just about nothing seems to work.

    I think I have been a victim of a very well-organized elaborate marketing scam. I spent hours reading user reviews after posting this yesterday. I found hundreds of user reviews that confirm every single problem I list here for the HS270. I think all the professional drone review webpages I...

    New Holy Stone HS270. Just about nothing seems to work.

    I just bought a new HS270 and have been testing it out for about a week now. To say I am unhappy is an understatement. I have only flown sub $100 units before this, so my expectations are not unreasonable. I am used to crap. The issue is, aside from flying, none of the other advertised...

    Hi everyone. New Guy Here!

    Well, I decided to try to get into quadcopters flying. Perfect time, right? :p I have flown a couple of $30 toys in the past and they were a lot of fun, but I am thinking about using one to record myself doing things, so I decided to get a quad that had a good camera and follow me. So, I am...
