My first film with my drone.

Nice views Geoff but the music sent me to sleep.

Haha. That's the idea.

It's relaxing and pleasant.

Nice to chill out too.

Nice video mate, just waiting on a new motor coming for my DJI. 

[Andy Banks]

Yes ok then.

More than happy to bring it and see how it goes.

 

 

Great many thanks

 

I'd strongly caution against this (for now), sorry. Stoneleigh is the flight path of Coventry Airport, I've already had to post a notice re Helium balloons! Heaven knows what would happen if a) I asked them about a drone and b) I didn't ask and one was found to be buzzing around

 

I have asked a similar question of the Members in the past as it's a great idea but I had not been informed of the Coventry thing until recently. Would be great to get some high shots though, maybe we can sweet talk the Stoneleigh guys and gals and "borrow" a cherry picker instead...? Maybe we can put a go-pro on a couple of balloons on long ribbons and see how that goes...!

The drone will not be abive 100 feet so I don't see an issue

If there was a 200 year old law that could ban these things, the authorities would have done by now (just like the segway/hover boards), the media hate them and the general public now fear them.

 

If not for what I believe is an impending ban, i'd buy one myself!!

[Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman]

I'd be surprised at an outright ban*, though I can see restricted flying areas specifically in respect of drones, I can also see water stricter regulation, up to and including licensing.

*Though I could see ever stricter regulations on where they can be flown steadily making it so limiting that many just give up on them.

Nor I but I don't make the rules, lets see what they come back with...

Reading this from CAA would seem to rule it out

It is illegal to fly your drone over a congested area.

 

Never fly within 50 metres of a person, vehicle or building.

 

If you think a drone is being flown dangerously then call the local police on 101.

Afternoon All.

 

All the above comments are noted and I was previously aware of them.

 

On top of the above I would also like to add about insurance.

 

I took out insurance through the British Model Flying Association for when I am out and about flying.

 

I am not saying that this means I can do whatever I want but I thought that it was really important to have insurance in place if any incident was to take place anywhere.

Please carry on discussing without the Stoneleigh Exterior Organiser i.e. Me

Just thought it would be a good idea to have some footage of our area from 100 foot above the marquee and avenue

What do I know ??

Thanks for the pointers but think we've hijacked the OP intent and rather detracted from the perfectly sensible and safe and stunning work, back on topic then..

Hi Andy.

 

I did not have a problem with the thread changing as it brought out some really great points.

 

Thanks for thinking about me though and the great comments.
