If you have additional tips, leave them in the comments below so others in the community can learn from them. Thanks for watching!
I really have to apppreciate #3 and 4. The audible sound take off is genius. Also not looking so obvious and comfortably “ducking out of site” is a thought that doesn’t even cross my mind. Yet, I get grrr when people approach curiously. Pretty useful tips. Thank you.
Thanks Rain!
The best way I've found to deal with the public is to be conspicuous as possible instead of trying to hide. Whenever I fly around people I wear a high visibility vest, hardhat, a lanyard with my 107 license, and use a landing pad with cones around it. Might sound ridiculous but it all looks so official and it eases the public's fears. No more "Is that a drone? Does that have a camera on it?". No one ever questions what I'm doing.
AgentStarke, that is not ridiculous at all. I have been known to don the hard hat while standing next to a construction barrel as well :) Thanks for the great tip!
I heard that from Canada, where drone flying has become ridiculously overregulated!
Good tips, many of them I use all the time. However I like the one about using the Bus noise to mitigate drone noise on takeoff, I hadn't thought of that. I will often navigate from INSIDE my car so I don't stand out like a sore thumb looking up into the sky. I can usually get a mile range with OcuSync from inside the car, if I'm facing my flight area with the windshield. This is especially helpful in the summer when it's hot, as I will fly with the motor running and the AC on. It also helps with good shade to see the iPad. The suggestion to move on if it doesn't feel right is spot on, I've done that many times over the last 5yrs.
Thank you! For the tips
Great tips Jeff. Always love your videos.
Thanks. Very helpful reminders
Great video well done thanks for the information 👍👍🇬🇧
Excellent tips mate.
Perfect. Great idea on the rooftop of a parking structure during off hours!
Tnx for sharing. I also typically only fly at sunrise. Nice light and hardly anybody around.
Thanks for your very useful tips!
Thanks Mike, glad you found it helpful!
Thank you for this video, much needed
Thanks Sharodd, you are most welcome!
I try to follow those very tips each time I go out to fly. Great advice!
Thanks Phil!
Nicely done Jeff. You always manage to make new and interesting and informative videos unlike many that do videos just to be doing a video. Merry Christmas.
Merry Christmas Stan! I appreciate that. I do try to come up with ideas that are a little different and fun to create at the same time.
All good tips Jeff but I can't help feeling that I'm doing something illegal or creepy when you talk about flying a drone. Nobody questions someone with a camera phone or a DSLR but as soon as you mention "drone" you're labeled a treat to society. I will continue to fly and look over my shoulder I guess. Keep up the good work
Yep, Celticborn i know what you mean. It's worth noting that 99 times out of a 100, when someone comes up, they are nice and just want to check it out and see the view. It's that 1% of the time that leave me scratching my head.
Celticborn Celticborn love your comment! ain’t that the truths for some reason I feel the same.
Thanks Jeff. Makes a lot of sense. I definitely use deceptive bags for the drone. It used to be easier with the Air but manageable with the Mavic2 also. Rules vary by country, where I live there's no way you can fly from a government property.
Usually I ask security guards around residential buildings and parking and they let me do. They might not be the real decision makers but their approval would ease the situation if a real owner would show up once.
What an awesome collection of tips...I believe I have found everyone of these to be true...you are brilliant and I thankyou for this great video...may God bless🙂
Thanks Lou!
Thanks. All your tips are common sense, but it's good to have them clearly presented in an organized manner.
Thanks a7wd, i appreciate you saying that.
Thanks for the great tips Jeff! Especially for me, a novice mavic flyer. I just cant help it when flying, at the back of my mind that im a threat to people as they say "drone". Really its just the view that makes me relaxed and appreciate nature more. Here in Malaysia, we can fly the drone, but not around airports/resorts/city centre. The rest should be fine especially at the beach ;) The most crappy part is when taking off.. the props really attracts attention! But like you said 99% are just curious and wanted to see the view, its that 1% that makes our life miserable. Btw, again, thanks for the tips! Really appreciate it Jeff!! Cheers from Malaysia!
Great tips Jeff
Your videos are really appreciated - by us new Mavic Air pilots.
Thanks Andy!
Really good.
Thanks Claudio!
Than you Jeff all great tips. I for one feel the same as one of your subscribers commented here every time I bring out my drone is like I’m doing something illegal and yet if someone is shooting with a huge DSLR camera and Lens they don’t bother. Crazy ain’t it. Love to fly my Air and will continue to do it though.
Hi Benito, I hear ya. I believe it will get better as there are more and more drones out there for consumer use. One thing is for sure, DJI is not going to stop selling them. Pretty soon they will be more common that DSLR's. Happy Flying Benito!
OUTSTANDING TIPS! I practice most if not all of them.
Any tips you have that i missed?
Jeff Greene on my commercial shoots I always have a visual observer and a second person often to answer questions from on lookers and keep a perimeter around me free from distractions. And whenever possible shoot early in the morning, especially Sunday Mornings which can remain quiet until noon most times. I’ve been a manned pilot for 30 plus years so navigating airspace has been instinctual. The AirMap app is my go to app plus an app for manned pilots called ForeFlight. When operating around airports I monitor air traffic on a handheld radio.
Great Drone video Jeff! And you didn't even fly your drone. Honestly, these are really good tips. Thank you
Thanks Mike!
Useful tips, good thinking Jeff. So-called drone piolts whom are lack of discipline, respect and awearness make things worst everywhere, and bring this fascinating hobby in a jeopady.
Another tip is forget about the phantom. I had a phantom and would rarely fly it due to the size and how conspicuous it was. The spark is just 10x better in my opinion.
Yup, the best quad is the one you have with you.
Awesome videos!
Thanks Andy!
Jeff Greene I live in Raleigh and would love to connect to discuss your experiences, tips and challenges you’ve had flying in the area.
@@andrewdavid3500 that sounds good, maybe coffee next week sometime? I'll be the shady one with the drone😀. I'll dm you shortly.
Another great video. Thank you! Small technical note - whatever mic you were using really emphasized your footstep noise, especially given all the leaves on the ground. Sometimes louder than your voice. Not a big deal but a bit distracting. Maybe use a lav mic and record to an iPhone in your pocket if you want to stay low key? Either way, keep up the great work!
Thanks for the tips/feedback Drone Imagery. I happened to pick a crunchy leaf day 😕
An extra tip which is paired with the takeoff tip is: Become excellent at manual landing. You can fly in for a landing using flight paths and/or speeds that keep your location much more stealth vs relying on precision landing which will attract much more attention and can lead to unwanted interaction.
+1 on that Fly Guy2!
Good info. I’m a new drone owner. Love it. What is your “selfie” set-up? I always thought selfie sticks were silly until I saw this video. Ohhhhh, that’s how you could use one, Todd. Camera? Stick? Did you mic yourself or was that sound all ambient?
Hi Todd, for all of the walking around talking parts i used the Go Pro Hero 7 with only the build in mic. i use a 3 way amzn.to/2QAiSIn, and that is it. The H7 is much improved over the 5. I had an external mic for the H5, but find that it is no longer necessary on the H7. Hope that helps, thanks for commenting.
Great tips! I’ve found the newer ‘scimitar’ type props are quieter and more efficient.
Re: “ other peoples property “?
Who owns airspace? To how high? Planes fly over peoples property all the time without getting our permission.
Hi K8UR, yeah he was only looking out for his tenants in his parking lot that i was taking off from. no big deal. Hey, aren't you in New Bern? How did your place fare from the hurricane?
Jeff Greene yes i was in New Bern. Evacuated. Came back to 5’ of water in my apartment. Totally ruined. Lost all. Been living in hotels ever since. In Cary now.
@@K8URChannel i am sorry to hear that. Flo was a rough hit. Glad to have new drone pilot in Cary though...practically neighbors :)
Use Quieter propellers.
I fucking love this video
BTW have missed you more frequent postings...
Thanks for saying that Design Eagles. I have been having work/life balance issues. Too much work and not enough play.
One question!
For the video to make! First needs to be made or A Roll or B roll ?
Interesting question Jamil. I guess you can't have B roll without the A Roll(story) first 😀
Nice video, don't look like a drone pilot, had a good laugh! 100 feet is for a lot of regions already illegal, just sayin...
By the way, have you shot this on Hero7?
Yes sir, I upgraded from the Hero5. For me, it has been better in every way. Audio is much better. Stabilization is incredible. i used it just walking around in this video and it looks like it is from a gimbal, without having to mess around setting it up.
@@JeffGreeneChannel LOL To be honest I can't see that you carry any camera. As if you had your cameraman walking backwards in front of you.
@@digiteye ha ha yep my cameraman 😀
My tip, is to sit down on the ground or a bench. You don't draw much attention that way and it looks like your are just fiddling or playing with your phone. Also flying a drone can be kind of stressful (in a fun way) and sitting down makes it more relaxing and you can keep focused.
Yep, that is a great tip. Nothing going on over here, just messing with my phone:)
Don't fly in your own neighborhood is probably one of the best....lol when I lived in Denver people were shooting at it with BB gun😫 may God bless
Oh wow, it would be ironic if the person shooting guns in the air called the cops on the person with the drone/camera in the air. I can only imagine the confusion on the face of the responding officer.
