Yes, it should be 'crowded' instead. Thank you for raising.

Thank you.
There is not a no-fly zone but in Hong Kong there are 'directions' that flying over crowded area should be avoided. To ensure more safety flying we selected a homepoint with 100m high nearby, to ensure stronger drone's signal, once it is failsafe we can fly back the drone much easier.

It's good to see you applied some thought to it and did a sort of risk assessment to make sure you completed your objective as safely as possible.  Had someone reply to a past concern of flight safety by saying something along the lines of "people are more likely to die from a car accident than my drone hitting them".  A flippant response I feel.
Good to see you applied some thought to it as bad actions give all us drone addicts a bad name making it harder for us to do what we enjoy!

Thanks. I couldn't find the 'edit' button as you told, not sure if it is because of my 'beginner' login level.

Anyways thank you very much!

Glad to see your sharing. I did some basic precautions for flying only. I believe most pilots would do the same.

It's sad to see such flippant response as you said, being hit by a drone is comparatively less serious by a car but it doesn't mean it's not serious. I don't want the government applies much stricter laws on drone's usage due to my negligence. I have been sharing videos for over 1 year, undoubtedly I want appreciation by more audiences, if I want such appreciation the first thing I need to do is to ensure safety flying.

I thank you for your sharing too.

I didn't go to Miami, the video mainly shows how densely populated in Hong Kong by those closed and old buildings.
