[QUOTE="Rmwac, post: 75192, member: 14567"] I'm aware of these few areas generously set aside for us... I live in the least populated area of PA, yet everything's off limits. The day I shot the Leonard Harrison footage, the place was deserted, except for the two folks I went there with. Yet I'd bet my Spark that IF there had been a ranger within earshot, he would have been up my @ss in a heartbeat. Never mind the place is deserted.... no harm can come to anything... Why? Because he CAN. We are now and forever, on the wrong side of this issue. I suppose this could be turned into a game of cat and mouse... setting up outside boundaries, doing a Litchi automated waypoint flight to get the desired footage, and then darting on out, back to the stealth takeoff point. I see that stuff going on up at Watkins Glen, on Seneca Lake, in NY. The community has had increasing anti-drone ordinances, so guys will set up their Phantoms/Mavics from God knows where for sunset shots, black out their lights, dart in from high altitude pop down, do their lakefront shoot, then dart up nearly out of sight, and gone.... too bad we have to play such games, but that's what it's come to. I keep a 30' sailboat up there, and we have a few guys that lose their minds every time they even see a drone. As I wrote in a prior post, one of these guys even picked a fight with a local TV station drone pilot ( who had permission) trying to shoot the annual Cardboard Regatta for that night's news. I need a new hobby, I guess :( [/QUOTE]
