Let's talk Drones

Here's a couple of Instagram posts I did for our Guesthouse'saccount, done with a Phantom 4.

USE caution there. If your drone is not licensed for commercial use then you can't use those shots. It would be illegal.

For commercial use, even your own, it has to be licensed as such if you are in the US.

Meh...catch me if they can.

Meh...catch me if they can. 

Extremely expensive when they do.

Not to mention jail time.

All 3 of those posts were viewed and "liked" by the Premier.

I am not exactly hard to find here.

I have not sold any videos and the use of my drone is considered recreational.

Not recreational if you shoot footage for sales or ads. Even if you are doing it for yourself.

None of the footage is of our guest house.  What am I advertising?  Bermuda maybe.  I don't think ANYONE here would prosecute me for that.

Very nice.  I am amazed how good the video looks and how stable the platform is.

Some raw footage of a golf course which went into liquidation.  We were part of a group that bid on it and won.  Numbers mean it will never be viable as a golf course but we have a good plan that should keep everyone happy, from government to the existing home owners and to the tree huggers. 

I just got back.  I went into a panic and couldn't find my dog when I was at the end of the session, she was happy and content lying in the shade when I took off.  But she doesn't like the drone and you can see on the video that she headed straight for the car.  I found her lying under the tree nearest the car.  She never goes far but because I had the drone she wouldn't come back when I yelled and whistled for her.

I have some other video too and will make a small film for our fellow investors.

He's in Bermuda and is, oh, well known around those parts?   Pretty sure if jail time were even in the picture (it isn't), Curval would be leaning back in a smoking jacket, sipping on brandy. 

What applies here in the States, has little to do with Bermuda.  Regardless, I am pretty sure these were under 400 feet and he had permission to film there.

From your original post I took it that you were advertising your guest house. Looks like you good to go. LOL

Burmuda is not in the US anyway.

DJI makes great equipment. We use the 3 pro here just for fun. The 4 is even better with a few minutes more air time and the sensors so it will not collide. Well it has less chance to collide.

[Curval]

They just released the 4 Pro which has side, under, and back sensors now.  It also has more fly time than the 4.

I love flying my 4 though....it's like R/C for dummies.  My father was a huge R/C guy and I watched him crash numerous planes he built from scratch.  He would have LOVED these drones.

They do have strict rules here in point of fact but they have an enforcement issue.  If I went and flew over the City and buzzed people and was being dangerous....they would track me down.  The stuff I do might just get some of the commercial guys tee'd off...that is a risk.  I know most of them. 

I tried to fly once right at the end of the summer down at Grotto Bay Beach.  I couldn't understand why the drone was taking so long to connect to the GPS until I looked closely at the screen and realized the whole area was restricted.  I was about a mile from the airport.  I have no desire to get hurt, get into trouble or more importantly hurt anyone else.

I've been drawn in by the 400$ price tag on the P3 standard. Almost to cheap to avoid.  I want good range so the lightbridge seems like a must have upgrade. I see they sell the P3 pro refurbished with the mandatory extra battery for 750.  Another 200 and I get the P4.  Crappie, back to a thousand dollars and to much risk vs. ROI.
