I plan on doing some flying at Connetquot state park in Oakdale on Saturday 6/7/14 . I am an early morning person ( if you haven't gathered that by now :cool: ) so I plan on being there around 8:00 AM. Meeting area would be here (https://www.google.com/maps/search/...11430!3s0x89c26650d5404947:0xec4fb213489f11f0) in the parking lot.

There are a lot of areas to film here, but there is also a lot of hiking involved, so keep that in mind.


Change in location: Now I plan on going to Caleb Smith State Park located here (https://www.google.com/maps/place/C...2!3m1!1s0x89e83a7cc06b024f:0xd00008f29f2e5135) I am checking on seeing what time I can gain access to the park, as I would rather be there earlier than 8 AM.

Hey let me know what time your going down there. Sounds like fun! We are suppose to have great weather with almost no wind!

It looks like a perfect day is in store.... I contacted Caleb Smith Park, the earliest we can arrive would be when they open the gates at 8 A.M., so I am shooting for then. I am going to shoot you a PM here with my name and contact info so if you do go we can meet up!

Anyone else interested? It's a beautiful park!

I suggest you bring bug spray, good walking shoes/boots and a traditional camera. A tripod would be great for catching your quad in frame. ( I plan on schlepping one so we can share)

Here is a link to the Caleb Smith Trail map ( http://nysparks.com/parks/attachments/CalebSmithTrailMap.pdf) which is goo to have with you.

I plan on meeting up at the parking lot by Willow Pond off of Jericho turnpike ( Main entrance). If it's your first time there, it's a bit tricky to find and that stretch of Jericho is notoriously dangerous so be careful.

Hey all, I am a new Phantom 2 owner on Long Island (Western Suffolk)...

I also set up a Facebook page for LI Phantom flyers since Facebook seems an easy way to meet up with people...

https://www.facebook.com/groups/1459929110936067/

We *JUST* set up the page, and haven't added much of anything, but, by chance, we met 3 different people who fly 2 different Phantoms (two share one, the third person has his own) at the same place we fly, and we all wanted a social media way of connecting with each other...

Anyway, we fly at the parks in NW and mid Suffolk, for anyone interested in meeting up one day.

Best,
Rob

Newb here in Smithtown. Would like to get together with some of you that are more experienced and learn.

Hi folks
Just found this site.

Had my Phantom 2V+ since about last Oct. Used it (and crashed it) a fair amount in Oct/Nov but not that much over the winter.

Did some overheads of the kids playing hockey but I didn't want to be too close and be a distraction and then it's too far away to pick up good detail. Would be perfect if the cameras had a zoom.

Did an overhead of the fair at the kids school in the fall that people liked but I was still too new and could have done much better - especially if I had taken a longer video.

Will try to use it for some of their lacrosse games this spring.

Plan to fly it around Greenport this summer. Hope to get some good water/boating shots.
See ya.

I do recommend you consider contacting your county legislator. This proposed legislation won't do anything to help Suffolk residents, but it will impinge on your right to fly undistracted, as county police will try to enforce this law even if it makes no sense and is preempted My note to the legislators is below attached.

Hi All, did you see this post? I thought this might be a good place to direct more attention, It has to do with our area.

Just got my P3P. Did a few low altitude flights, getting my confidence. Anyone near Mt Sinai? (Suffolk)
