Drones

As we all know and see on the new and media Drones you either Love them or hate them and I’m not going into a heated discussion who is correct.

A few points that make me chuckle are as follows

  • People with drone spy on me !
    • why would we spend £500+ just to spy on you when in the world their is more CCTV coverage that we are never of the Camera.
  • They are dangerous and unsafe!
    • no 1 has ever died due to a Drone (non military)
  • They are noisy and disturb the wildlife!
    • At 300ft flying around the only thing we see are a few birds and they mostly don’t get involved with them
    • Moto x is more damaging to the environment and has greater noise pollution.
    • clay pigeon shooting loads of fun but (enough said )
  • They should be Banned as it our privacy that is lost
    • Their is more CCTV coverage that we are never of the Camera. from cash machines CCTV in shops + Streets and on the roads, also remember the new Doorbell cameras LOL

All law abiding Drone flyers are working in the guidance of the CAA and try to be enjoying their hobby

OK after that lot lets get back to the fun stuff

i have a DJI Mini 2
