Coming at this from a Golfers perspective, I've seen many Golf Hole Fly Byes over the years that do nothing to promote the Course or assist the Golfer in formulating a game plan.
To those offering this service, may I suggest some points to consider :
a) maintain a constant altitude, speed...
I'd suggest you have a rethink on the brand name. The 'D' word has too many negative connotations.
It wouldn't interest me with this name regardless of it's value ?
I like the idea of a united, all inclusive organisation where we grow in strength and project the positive aspects of what we do in a responsible manner. Education of the lawmakers and a distancing from those irresponsible flyers is paramount to our prosperity.
Also, we need to distance...
Firstly, let me say that I am all too aware of the stress involved in getting the shot, particularly when one has a Director in your ear. These paymasters have little idea, nor to they care of the technical or physical demands in acquiring the shot. I feel we as RC Pilots need to become more...

Blue Skies !............. one of the few good days we enjoyed this past two months.
Lumix TZ9 on Shutter speed priority at 1/800 and 5 frame burst.
You know I was having major problems getting good Video footage and I have almost given all hope of getting decent images. Even with stills, I...

Nice one ! ................ your 'Hogwarts' shot reminded me of this one I captured recently. Ardgillan Castle, Co. Dublin.

I am PGA Pro and was drawn to Aerial Photography from the many wonderful images of Golf Courses. I am presently honing my skills and building a heavy lifter Y6 platform specifically for aerial Video, which is an entirely different ballgame in terms of skill set and rig capabilities.
What do...
