"Time to do something new GoPro. How about some 360 degree and/or stereoscopic? The same ol' thing but a little smaller or a little faster frame rate isn't going to cut it anymore. Some of the new cameras from CES this year are much more exciting…"
"This is the wrong way to do it. I'm all for accountability but this is just dumb. A smarter way would be to require an operator license for each pilot that would essentially be a review of current drone laws and an operator number. The operator…"
"So now my radio controlled paper airplane is going to need a GPS and an internet connection so that it can be geofenced by the government... Sure, that makes sense."
"I personally find the whole concept of Amazon delivery drones to be very offensive at any altitude. I don't want some automated drone flying or landing anywhere near me or my family. Flying these things over populated areas - presumably without line…"
"What is the distance between the cameras? It looks much smaller than the average 62 to 64mm IPD. Do you have any sample video footage to show how that affects the 3D effect?"
"Great quote:
"With this decision, the NTSB has declared model aircraft, paper airplanes and even children's toys to be 'aircraft,' subject to the same regulations as 747s""
"The FAA feels like such a joke these days. I can't imagine any commercial airliners would be flying through the airspace where this little drone was hovering. We really need some limits to what the FAA can claim as their jurisdiction."
"I use the Oculus Rift with the Transporter 3D and the 3DCam FPV (all from EMR Labs). The level immersion is awesome although the Oculus DK1 resolution and screen door effect are not great for FPV. This BlackBird camera module looks neat too. Might…"
"Let me see if I get this - the FAA thinks I can't safely fly my own drone with FPV in my own front yard even with all the safety features build into the latest APM software like loiter mode, return to home, and auto-landing and yet they are somehow…"
"Oh great! Now they're going to have to start filing a flight plan for each pitch in case they hit a pop fly. As if baseball wasn't boring enough already..."
"What I was really thinking is how lame Rep. Jeff M...orris (D) must be for even trying to pass something like this. Seriously?! If you want your privacy so badly, you might try just closing the curtains. Forget the drones, there could be kids…"
"If I'm reading it right, it looks like your okay to fly FPV anywhere as long as you're not recording the video (ie. don't hit record on the GoPro).
Section 2.1: A sensing device is not an "active sensing device" when it is capable of acquiring…"
