So serious in here. It was said in jest. People need to lighten up.
I will take the flight there and accommodations.
I will vet the arrangements made by the organizers and if they dont hold up I will not fly.
I will instead enjoy the free trip to Europe.
As far as personal...
What are you talking about?
I clearly stated that the organizers would take care of the permits and access.
Where did I say I was going to fly without permits or permission?
If they want me there they will be paying my way and dealing with the permit logistics.
I have no intention of...

I am hoping the org we did the flying for takes care of all that to have us there.
It would be in their best interest to clear the way before paying for us to fly there and being told no.
I wouldnt go without a clean access and fly permit already in place.
The organizers absolutely loved the footage that we captured.
They have us locked in for next year for the same event.
They also want to fly us to Europe to film their other events in the series this summer.
This was off of a blind email after seeing they did not have any drone coverage...
Getting the bike from the airport to my hotel is going to be me unpacking it in the airport and riding it from Heathrow or taking the underground. I cant take the underground with the drone, my bag and the bike.
I cant ride with the drone and my bag.
The toss up is do I bring the bike or the drone?
Cant take both.
Probably cant fly anywhere in London I would bet. Or relegated to spots without any really good shooting.
Might be the bike that wins this conundrum. Some good GoPro footage of the streets of London.
Yeah.
These requirements are onerous and I am not looking forward to dealing with this.
Vetting for security? WTF!
So anyone with a dicey past gets pushed out of a hobby where they were just trying to have some fun.
Lets take away everything.
A flock of 20 pound geese took out a...
The day of I was freaked out at the police and Port Authority presence on premises.
I wanted to fly but did not want to lose my drone doing it.
My cousin also got into the game and he approached the police right away and just laid it out for them.
Their reaction was that they had no...
It was the firmware for the GoPro.
The update would not complete by using the app or the desktop transfer.
I had to download the update to my desktop --> copy it to the SD card --> put the card back into the GoPro and turned it on.
It took a while for it to update - it kept beeping and...
I just spent a few hours trying to track down some props for my solo.
Had to go to 3 different Best Buys.
The first 2 said they had them on location from the website.
This thread makes sense.
