I do a lot of backpacking, and this would be perfect for that. But I don't know if it would arrive in time for my june trip...

I agree that having a smaller bird is a good idea, even though the phantom is relatively easy to fly. And honestly, a 40 dollar syma can be more fun than a phantom sometimes. Less risk= more crazy things you can do.

I live in the area too, north of Reno. Our state is a lot more beautiful than we give it credit for sometimes! Both videos are very nice Sent from my iPhone using PhantomPilots

Currently in Belize, where I tried to bring my phantom for some photography. I had to leave it at customs. I had read up on regulations at Drone Laws By Country | UAV Systems International , which is really helpful. In Belize, you have to have a lisence to fly. This is acquired at the bank of...

I would like to say that I am one of the aforementioned "Christmas drone owners" (and a teenager) and have operated mine safely and without incident for a year. The percentage of buyers that will cause problems probably increases a little, but mostly I think it's just an increase in volume of...

I'm looking to do a flight within 5 miles of an airport(Reno Tahoe), but I can't find a phone number for the control tower anywhere! Any idea as to where I would find this?

That was taken in Idaho and Nevada. The forest/ranch scenery is in Idaho at my grandpas ranch. There's a couple shots of my farm in Reno Nevada in there(the one with the cows/sunsets/flying away from gray house). The rocks are another place in rural Nevada. The opening rock scene is up in the...

This is my third video, and the best one so far. (Don't ask about the first two videos, it's a sensitive subject.) Any comments, critiques, and suggestions are more than welcome!!!

I think these rules are a good step forward. I don't have problems with anything in there, and hopefully it will better educate users.

I know. That was just in reference to what ferraript said. And what I've seen done doesn't include youtube or anything, just in person stuff.

Being a teenager who buys my own things I just wanted to break this (normally true) stigma/stereotype real fast. But you're right, many of the more irresponsible things I've seen done with UAS's are by people I know about my age.

I don't fly myself but live in an area with lots of private recreational planes who go really low over our farm. Between them, crop dusters, and police search helicopters (well, that only happened twice) there is regular air traffic under 400 feet where I live anyway. As far as flight...

I agree. Haven't found much good royalty free stuff so far

Ive mostly done photography, but decided to try my hand at making a video. Any advice would be welcome!
