Safe drill flying around kids WTF, if the phantom suddenly threw a fit and started dropping out of the sky and started heading for an adult they would likely think " that looks dangerous" and get the hell out of the way. If the same thing happened with a kid they would probably shout hey dad look at this toy doing crazy things and just stand there watching it till it smacked them in the face? Kids do not have a good understanding of danger. Safe drill means planning for all eventualities good or bad not sticking your head in the sand thinking my first 200 flights have gone ok so everything is going to stay ok. Guess people in Norway think differently to others in the world? In the UK we are not allowed to fly within 50 metres of people or buildings have you checked the rules in Norway?

Don't listen to all these people who buy their phantom and keep it tucked away under their bed because they are afraid to use it.
Good job!

Yeah ... might as well get your flights in now cuz unimaginative, weak brained and selfish people like you will have this hobby ended for us all soon enough.

Really!!!
C'mon...
The purpose of these devices is so you can capture content from a totally different perspective... If you fly safe, it doesn't matter where you fly... If the Phantom is going to fail on its on, it could happen anywhere... Who knows... It could just drop out the sky or fly away... We don't know... But we can't live out lives behind the "I'm scary" theroy...
All, please fly safe and enjoy this technology... Take some really cool pictures and videos from the wildest of places and post them for us to see...
Great Video!!!
Dirty Bird said:Bjorn, nice video. I love the look of wonder on the kid's faces. Guess I may as well say what I have to say considering some of the replies. It looks to me like Bjorn was flying slowing and carefully in a very controlled flight, something very easy to do with a Phantom. He was basically hovering, not flying all crazy zooming over people at 40 mph. EVERYONE who was watching seems to have been enjoying it and seemed to display the same amazement watching that we feel as Phantom pilots. I can't tell you how many times I fly and people come up to look and inquire about the Phantom.
"What is it? It has a camera? You can see the camera view? How much is it? How far can it go? Where do I get one?"
People are always smiling & waving at the Phantom, and clamoring for a closer look. Heck, I need to start carrying DJI business cards in my wallet! Not that a Phantom is infallible, but flying a Phantom near people is a hell of a lot different than me buzzing the field at 150 mph with my F/A-18 SuperHornet. Obviously a Phantom can cause injury, but it weighs 2.7 pounds. 400-ton aircraft fly over heavily populated areas each and every day, traveling at 600 mph and loaded with highly flammable fuel. Sometimes they actually crash into those populated areas.
It would seem to me that we want everyone to see just how amazing, controllable, and safe the Phantom's technology has become. The way to do that is expose as many people to the technology, so they see for themselves.
Nicely done! Great job! I second Bird's assessment. It was apparent you took measures to be safe and yet still had fun while other's enjoyed as well. Continue the safe flying! Look forward to seeing more great videos like these...Bjorn Thore said:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U4ULLOWpzmU
