The best comment thus far. We have NO right to ruin this event for others, just to get a shot with our drones. Part of the magic is the change in the weather, the behaviour of insects and other animals, the sounds of the wind, the chill in the air, and the reaction of people around us. A total solar eclipse is a once in a lifetime event for most people. You can expect violent reactions from some people if they feel that you ruined this event for them.
Ask yourself if you would rather be fiddling with gear, or hugging your wife and kids during totality? Total solar eclipses are rare and special events. Don't ruin it for yourself or others!
