I find it hard that a drone could puncture and dent a 3mm thick sheet of metal. Racing drones can move up to 100 km/h or so, but good luck hitting the moving tail of a helicopter at that speed.
Racing drone owners are generally very responsible, in my experience, and don't fly that far/high anyway. Photography drones don't go anywhere near that fast, and have altitude limits.
- mbrameld 7y agoPhotography drones have regulatory altitude limits. Nothing stopping somebody from flying higher than that other than the threat of a fine if caught. It's the relative speed of the two objects colliding that matters, not just the speed of the drone.

- lozaning 7y agoAnd what ubiquitous built in software would that be? You're aware there are myriad non DJI options for drone photography platforms yea?
