Stunning, also good this was filmed over water. I'd hate to think what would happen if a firework took out the drone and it hit a person. From that height it would likely do some serious damage.
I'm all for commercial drones, I just hope those using them do a proper risk assessment, take steps to prevent injury to people or property and have applicable insurance.
- drdaeman 12y agoJust thought about the same. I'm completely unaware about modern multirotor except for the fact they exists and are widely available. What are nowadays typical safety measures in those?
- ljf 12y agoFrom many of the videos I've seen on YouTube it seems people don't take any safety measures other than hoping that nothing goes wrong. Loads of videos show them flying over crowds, streets and traffic. Many weigh a couple of kilos or more and even from 10 metres that would hurt... I saw someone get their arm/shoulder broken on a Thai beach when a coconut fell on them... I'd say it is currently more luck than design that has prevented a well publicised injury or accident. The shame is that one persons actions could see the whole activity become highly regulated or even banned...
- drdaeman 12y agoI've hoped for something like, say (just wide thoughts) emergency parachutes, or going into autorotation in case of power/comm/control failure...
