I had three ground cameras going as well as the Phantom for the first burn today. Went well and think I got some good video. However........the big boys in the tower of the A&M School saw the drone and demanded for me to land. I did and there was a lot of discussion that occured and we had prior approval before I even went as I knew enough to check first. Anyway, they said that had no procedure for doing this and until a procedure could be written, no more flying. I got a lot of video anyway, just only one overhead view. Dissapointing, but I understood, however, my company was pretty upset since we had verbal approval prior to going to this school. There are a lot of ongoing discussions, but am sure it will not happen this week. Wednedsday is my last day here. I haven't viewed the video yet, but from looking at the screen, it looks ok. When I landed, I saw a lot of water on the drone from steam and such from the fire fighting and I was carefull to stay away from any water spray. Didn't seem to hurt anything. Will be viewing the video this evening and tomorrow ready to video again Wednesday. Tons of very close video right up next to some pretty large fires and more overhead would have sure helped suppliment the video outcomes. Dissapointing conclusion.
Sorry for the issue. I also will be shooting aerials this week. I hope to get the filters and filter holder and attach them with rubber bands as suggested by White
More the rubber bands on the bottom of the skids, and the DE sitting on them.
