The greater then 6500ft flight was over farmland n woods . Little to no interference but if it has gone down I  would have hated knocking on some shotgun farmers door saying I lost my drone

Would probably find out those farmers are nicer than you give them credit for. They would probably help you locate your drone.

LOL why would it be a big deal?  no one going to shoot you over a drone going down on their farm, probably even help you, depending on the farm such as the one i live and work on half the year that has a lot of difficult places to get to, probably get a free ride on an ATV or a sidebyside to where it is if you can give a general location where it gone down on a map or something..  if not either tell you come back when got more time to help or to go get it yourself..

Nice flight TheVegeta1974 . How about if you approach the farmers and offer them some freebie aerial photos of their farm?
They might then welcome you to fly over their property.

One place that I fly just paid $600 for a photo of his farm here in Australia (taken from a helicopter)

absolutely true!  specially if that's a long standing family farm they wanna reproduce a modern version of a old photo...i been offered $150 (us) to get a photo of a farmhouse and barn and reproduce an old photo... and while i cannot confirm or deny if i accepted that $150 job because i dont fly part 107.. i will say i am $150 richer...  ;)

as for permission to fly over their farm not required, but yes it is nice to have people on your side who may even get you name and number and if they like your work or see potential may pass your info a long and could start making some money.  a lot of beauty out there.

I haven't found a quick way to add music and keep the quality high.
The Cemetery , I left home wanted to get footage of a historical town called Abingdon . I found a parking lot near an amazing inn I wanted to shoot called Martha Washington Inn. Turned my lil drone on and top left corner CANT TAKE OFF No Fly Zone soooo the Cemetery was the first parking lot outside the No Fly Zone

Ive also done really well in cities too . I can get about a mile anywhere , keep in mind I ignore warnings and often cancel return to home warnings .
