“typical hobby drones”
Am I wrong in thinking the operators of such drones must be close by? In other words, I’m thinking you need to keep the thing in eyesight to maintain control.
If birds attack drones and are injured in the process... how is that not endangering birds?
If drones are being flown in parks or at a refuge wouldn’t that be considered endangerment as well? In an area that hunting fowl is prohibited?
line of sight is not necessary.
The DJI Mavic Pro is a small yet powerful drone that turns the sky into your creative canvas easily and without worry,
helping you make every moment an aerial moment. Its compact size hides a high degree of complexity that makes it one of DJI’s most
sophisticated flying cameras ever. 24 high-performance computing cores, an all-new transmission system with a 4.3mi (7km) *range,
5 vision sensors, and a 4K camera stabilized by a 3-axis mechanical gimbal, are at your command
with just a push of your thumb or a tap of your finger.
*Unobstructed, free of interference, when FCC compliant.
Many have “first person view” headsets that allow you to fly as if your in the vehicle. A buddy of mine flys and races these. Racing drones can go 100 mph and can turn on a dime. You’ll have to have some mad wing shooting skills to bag one if the operator knows he’s flying in a hostile environment.
