Drone film or Photo Just like Greg said, I love my drone but since it sounds like a whole squad of weed whackers I am very careful to not fly around others enjoying the quiet beauty of the outdoors. I do have a solution for beaches and parks. I mounted a go pro on a disk style egg timer, then to a plywood base with eye bolts at 4 corners. This gets suspended from a ring on my kite cord. Everybody loves seeing a kite fly, and they are allowed in more areas. The footage is not controllable like a drone but you do get good "B roll" stuff and nobody is offended!
