It's frustrating how people just want to get a nice footage of an area and random jerks try to catch their drones and destroy/steal them.

[–]Tastygroove 397ポイント398ポイント  (55子コメント)

Also annoying to have 5 rich doofus amateur drone pilots buzzing around your ears with these things at every fucking event. Fourth of July, anybody?

[–]Pleasant_Jim 282ポイント283ポイント  (8子コメント)

I must be the only dude that has yet to see a drone in real life.

[–]Freezer_Slave 54ポイント55ポイント  (0子コメント)

You aren't alone, I still haven't seen one.

[–]Bag0fSwag 39ポイント40ポイント  (1子コメント)

Me neither, but I'm not one to go out and do things

[–]Ancel3 2ポイント3ポイント  (0子コメント)

The only reason I've seen a drone in real life is because I bought one.

Never seen anybody else's drone, except for the guy I bought mine from.

[–]BenevolentKarim 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

They've seen you, of course

[–]redlinezo6 2ポイント3ポイント  (0子コメント)

Nope.

[–]PowerMonkey500 16ポイント17ポイント  (0子コメント)

I was laying on the beach alone with someone at night and a random drone just started hovering above our heads. It stayed there twitching around for a good five minutes. It was just uncomfortable.

[–]kaio37k 34ポイント35ポイント  (34子コメント)

Drones only buzz if they're like 5 feet from you...

[–]Airazz 61ポイント62ポイント  (27子コメント)

if they're like 5 feet from you...

That's the issue with these amateur pilots. They don't really know anything about safety requirements, or the reliability of those cheap motors.

[–]typtyphus 38ポイント39ポイント  (9子コメント)

cheap motors.

cheap, rich, make up your mind

[–]moccasinroot 16ポイント17ポイント  (3子コメント)

The quality of the motors can be cheap while the drone itself is stupid expensive. There are plenty of products out there that use crap parts but charge an arm and a leg

[–]down_vote_magnet 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

Cheap gadget, over-priced for rich people.

[–]zhrugr 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

Too cheap for a motor, too expensive for a toy.

[–]Airazz 1ポイント2ポイント  (1子コメント)

It's kind of like Apple, in a way. Many of their products use standard components which are fairly cheap, yet somehow the end product is stupidly expensive.

On, and in some quadcopters almost nothing is replaceable, so you must buy a whole new thing if you want to fly again. Yet buying all the same components separately and building your own quad would cost you a quarter of what they charge, and then you could replace a burned out motor or a broken frame.

Don't get me started on Beats Headphones...

Everyone is an amateur pilot... unless their main job is to fly these things

[–]Airazz 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

Sorry, poor wording. They're not even amateurs, they're usually novice flyers who think that the only difference between them and pro pilots is that pro pilots get paid.

[–]gasfarmer 7ポイント8ポイント  (11子コメント)

Actually, in this case, the use of 'amateur' implies lack of experience. So by saying 'amateur drone pilot'; they're distinguishing them as less skilled and knowledgeable than an experienced drone pilot.

So, the rankings would be Amateur < Experienced < Professional

Amateur < Experienced < Professional < Racers

[–]asilvermtzion -3ポイント-2ポイント  (0子コメント)

"Inexperienced", "Green", "Noob", "Beginner".... Language, eh? How does it work?

[–]pingo5 0ポイント1ポイント  (2子コメント)

Fuck man ive been wanting to buy one for years now but all these people make me scared to do it. Its too expensive to get an actual pilots liscence and plane and this is the closest i'll probably ever get to that... I mean i gotta be responsible with it but these people make it seem like a nuisance on sight

[–]Airazz 0ポイント1ポイント  (1子コメント)

You'll be fine if you keep in mind that your drone is a bunch of tiny buzzing saw blades and any motor could die at any time.

Don't ever fly above people or things that you like.

There are pro-grade motors and electronics for those who actually need to fly above people, to film movies and stuff. They cost tens of thousands. Reliability costs a lot.

If you can't afford it, then be prepared for the unavoidable failure and make sure that you cause as little damage as possible.

[–]pingo5 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

Alright! Thanks. I dont plan on flying over people as knowing from having a cheaper quadcopter they can derp out at any time. I havent crashed into people before but i can see how it would. Thabks for the tips though!

[–]agnaram 9ポイント10ポイント  (0子コメント)

Say that to the people on the playground 50 meters away keeping half the neighborhood awake.

[–]tha_dood 6ポイント7ポイント  (2子コメント)

Thats completely not true. Most quad drones are loud as fuck.

[–]Wsallgood 3ポイント4ポイント  (1子コメント)

Because most people don't even balance the props. They don't even read the manual.

[–]SubSaharanBeast 8ポイント9ポイント  (1子コメント)

Oh, come on. They sound like vacuum cleaners.

[–]AdvocateForTulkas 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

... Where do you live dude?

[–]-_-Edit_Deleted-_- 21ポイント22ポイント  (7子コメント)

The guy flying the drone knew the guy who cast the line. You can see him looking at him in the first few frames. He also seems way to calm for someone who's drone had just be fished outta thin air. Then, after one more spiral you see the guy with the fishing rod just let it real out.

I'm not saying the gif tried to conceal this, I think you may have missed it.

[–]freecris 9ポイント10ポイント  (1子コメント)

He's not the guy flying the drone. Source video

[–]Johnscats 2ポイント3ポイント  (0子コメント)

That drone pilot seems like exactly the kind of person that's really exhausting to be around

[–]Tech_Romancer 4ポイント5ポイント  (3子コメント)

Who's the guy piloting it? As far as I can see it's no one on the pier.

[–]Lostfiniel -2ポイント-1ポイント  (2子コメント)

The guy in the white facing the camera seems to have a remote in his hands.

[–]buddythegreat 5ポイント6ポイント  (0子コメント)

I think that guy is baiting a hook, not using a remote. Remotes are typically decently large, especially ones with the kind of range this quadcopter seems to have.

[–]Tech_Romancer 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

Oh yeah, it may well be. I don't know if it's large enough to be a TX with that great a range. I'm no pro though and technology always surprises me.

[–]thesingingnerd 11ポイント12ポイント  (0子コメント)

It's a lifeless, animated object with no directly visible source of ownership within the grasp of people with means with which to affect it. People are gonna fuck with it.

[–]QyuBurt_ 37ポイント38ポイント  (21子コメント)

It's frustrating how people just want to have a nice day out and have a fucking drone buzzing around them.

[–]Z0idberg_MD 23ポイント24ポイント  (4子コメント)

I consider people around me to be annoying on a dock. If flying drones are legal, whether this annoys you or not, why should you be able to do this shit?

Again, I find a lot of things people do in public on wharfs and docks annoying, but they have the right to do it.

[–]Bbrowny 1ポイント2ポイント  (1子コメント)

There are laws in Australia that dont allow you to fly your drones around public areas. Im pretty surprised nowhere else have these laws.

[–]IronOreAgate 5ポイント6ポイント  (0子コメント)

In the US we have them banned from all National Parks, and I think some state's ban them at State Parks as well. I know in Minnesota they are. I see no drone signs when I go visit the State Parks all the time. Provided they aren't hurting anyone, I honestly don't see the problem with flying them around. They are kinda fun to watch.

It's frustrating how people just want to live their lives and some douche with a drone decides to film them without asking permission...

[–]miserable_failure 5ポイント6ポイント  (0子コメント)

Uh, you're in a public space. You don't get 'right to privacy'.

[–]saremei 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

I don't have to ask you permission. It's public space. There is no argument to be had that I cannot film you in public as everything done in public is by default public and not private.

[–]lapogo -2ポイント-1ポイント  (1子コメント)

There really annoying dude. People shouldn't fly them in public, quiet places. Like where people like to fish.

[–]KaBar42 5ポイント6ポイント  (0子コメント)

Piers on a public beach are far from a "quiet place".
