It is the illegal use of drones that is hurting us legal users. I took my P4 to a resort in Orlando, Florida and was hoping to get some video of the resort and water park. The entire resort was a "no drom
I think some of the negativity is due to most people not understanding the lack of zoom or telephoto advantage, which a dslr lens has the ability to utilize.
Besides my Phantom 3 Pro', I also have a Nikon D800 with an 80-400mm lens. But I don't go around spying on my neighbors with it. Which would be easy. No, we must have more respect.
Newer drones, and much more expensive models can have fantastic optics.
But the public need to be educated by us, which can't correct how unscrupulous drone pilots behave.
Find a nice if convenient location, away from the populated areas, to fly and record.
I have had strangers, but friendly enough people, approach me with apprehension, to ask, "Is that a drone, & does it have a camera?"I will tell them yes, and may I show you what the camera actually sees from up there. Once they see how small and indistinguishable we are. They are immediately put at ease.
I'm not in the eye spy, undercover detective surveillance field. Nor a voyeuristic peeper. Just an enthusiastic RC hobbiest, out to record some memories & to have fun.
