I’m mostly talking about camera drones rather than FPV ones.
Every time I take mine out of the bag, people gather around with the same questions: how high does it go, how far does it go, was it expensive, have you ever crashed, etc. - as if they’ve never seen a drone before.
It seems like every single YouTuber and amateur photographer has one these days. They’re easy to fly and relatively cheap too. You’d think they’d be everywhere, but I can count on one hand the number of times I’ve actually seen someone flying one. Granted, I don’t leave the house much and when I do I usually head into the woods, so that probably plays a role. Still, I’m curious if this is just me or if other people have had the same experience.
Here in Europe, you see signs everywhere saying drone usage is banned. Both in towns but also in nature areas. I have always been interested in one but it feels like there is no where to fly them. I don’t think that’s a bad decision since they are annoying and, if you don’t know what your doing, you could hurt someone but I’d it does put me off actually buying one.
