I was peacefully flying over a rocky part of the coast at Klippiesbaai one afternoon when a young girl approached me and asked if she could see my "kite"
"It is over there" I replied, pointing to the mini2 in the distance.
She then left and joined the rest of her party below the outcrop I was standing on.
I reflected on this incident and concluded that she probably was expecting me to reel the drone in so she could have a gander and probably felt fobbed off with my answer.
I then resolved to, when I had completed my video shoot, fly the drone close to her so that she could see it - not too close though, keeping safety in mind.
I did this and although it looks quite close to the party the zoom lens makes it look so.
They were quite unaware of the drone up to a point when I made bobbing up and down movements to attract her attention.

Haha.  Give them time.  

Very nicely done Droffarc.    Seems like they got a kick out of seeing your "kite".
