I oversimplified my feelings. I've never tried anything like Autonomous Flight Apps. Mostly I was trying to convey my feeling, that when the Drone is out my of physical sight. I get super duper nervous. And I could never endure long period of uncertainty. Sounds cool. In some ways...

Beautiful Follows of Machine of Every Type.

You have hit upon exactly what I was driving at. I've been a enthusiast Photog for 15 years. I've never had to describe what it is I'm trying to convey. Gonna give it some more thought.

You're right, this thread had devolved. But, I do want to find away to quantify the actual distance for my own peace of mind. Have a good day.

I talked to a lawyer. You're comment is way off-base. When he watched it he asked me how close I was. I told him 10-15 feet. He asked if I interfered with the operation of the boat. He asked If they boaters had to take some action to avoid contact. Negative on all counts. He said: The...

My favorite guitarist from my all-time favorite rock band. :)

To be clear, I am completely entitled to fly my Drone Out over Biscayne Bay. That's like me saying No-one else can use Biscayne Bay because I want to film the sunrise. And I don't want anything else spoiling my shot. While your stating an opinion and I did solicit opinions, Your logic is...

True, but I'm trying to describe/measure the distance effect that Phantom camera has. Not doing it well. Have to read up some more.

Rudeness is a subjective concept. I think my etiquette was OK, If your advancing an opinion that, It's rude to fly a drone where other people notice it. I would continue to push back against that. They noticed it was there, so what, so frickin what. The captain went about his business, the...

Use your 35mm camera as an example. If you're using a 35mm lens and you take a picture of a subject in the middle of the frame. If you're close enough. you can take a picture with the subject clearly in focus. The objects behind are out of focus. Phantom cam is very wide angled. Phantom...

I appreciate your opinion. If you apply the logic some of the posters here are using the boaters control a sphere of privacy that is miles big and Nothing can be filmed without the blessings of the subject. I realize most of them fly over corn fields and filming the barn and 'bessie' over and...

Your opinion is valid, but your facts are laughably wrong. Stalking!, really? The word stalking has a legal and dictionary definition. Neither of which are even close to applicability here.

Thanks for your opinion. I like to film cruise ships and other Marine traffic. This was one of my first flights over Biscayne Bay. We had the Drone like a week before this incident. As stated I was angling for a complete sunrise from altitude. I was late and conditions were good for it. So...

I read about Litchi involved crashes all the time here. I read about all types of crashes here. I feel sorry for every Phantom owner who has lost a bird. My P3P is like one of my children. I really, really enjoy flying it. I don't know how I would feel. A crash would make me feel bad...

Everything is relative. They're YouTube Clowns now. :-) .
