Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

Drones - General Discussion.

liamtimdusty · 2016-07-08 09:46:17

Planning on getting a phantom 4 in the near future. Decided it might be a good idea for a general discussion thread to be started. What are your experiences to date? - Good / Bad. Would be interested in hearing from someone who is using them commercially for promo videos etc and the legalities that come with that.

Hey guys,
Anyone know what the roles are like in relation to drones been shot down by neighboring farmers?
If you get permission from a farmer to fly on his land but a neighboring farmers shoots you down while still flying over the first farmers land and flying with in IAA roles. Can you call the Garda or where do you stand?

I use “DroneDeploy”
Sometimes I’ll fly a grid over the land with the camera facing down never going outside the land of ownership and I find a height of 60-70 meters gets good shots.
But I worry in the back of my head as to the safety of my drone with some neighbors.

The guys over on the hunting forum seem sure of the answer

Its illegal to shoot drones from the sky - and if it lands by accident in his field he cannot keep it.
