I have a feeling that we'll be reading several stories this year on sites like this where someone flew their drone over peoples homes and in front of windows or over a pool playing "high tech peeping tom", or used them to harass hunters or deer and the landowners ends up shooting the drone down or going over to the neighbor's house who was flying the drone and smashes their drone to pieces and kicks their rear ends. These drones have been out for years already. More and more are being purchased, but I still don't think it will be an issue worth worrying about.

I doubt they will bother me at all, and I wouldn't shoot one either ...but of course no one wants to watch an old fat guy.

Didn't read the entire thread and maybe it was posted, but what is the actual cost of one of these with picture taking abilities, and are they hard to fly? I'm sure if I bought one my maiden flight would end bad.

I'm sure if I bought one my maiden flight would end bad. They are so cool and relatively easy to fly. Easier than the old helicopters. I did buy an expensive helicopter years ago when I had some money, but it was tough to fly. The smaller cheaper ones were easier.

It was supposed to have a camera but we never figured it out because the thing broke so fast. The one the guy was flying at work to find heat leaks ect was expensive. I didn't ask but between the drone and the sophisticated equipment I'd say well over $10k as a guess.

I'm sure if I bought one my maiden flight would end bad. I have around $700 in mine, but they can be found for cheaper. They are VERY easy to fly and have "smart flight" features like Point of Interest, Auto-Route via GPS, and automatic "Return to Home" if you lose signal or the battery starts to get too low.

Just curious...where were you positioned when you were flying the drone in the video?

Just curious...where were you positioned when you were flying the drone in the video? If you pause the video at 1:14, you will see a group of trees on top of a small rise at the end of the fence line, I'm behind those trees. I was about 1000ft from the drone.
