FINALLY!!!! The FAA grants less freedom to drone fliers than the Chinese Communist Party. The same party censoring TH-cam, imprisoning Uyghurs, and suppressing hong kong protests is more lenient to drone operators than the aviation agency of the so-called "land of the free"
Thanks for this. Thanks to Tyler and RDQ for stepping up to the fight. I’m former law enforcement. I guarantee there will be confrontations with this and the outcome could be serious injury or death. I’ve seen human nature when emotions get heated. The FAA has not considered this properly and they will face a massive lawsuit if their ruling results in injury or death. Keep up the good fight.
Thank for starting this fight. I absolutely hate the idea of some stranger with a smart phone being able to find out where I am when flying my drone. I’ve already turned down several jobs within a certain city because I wouldn’t feel safe without a wingman with a 9mm. With the addition of someone finding me with the app as well, no thanks.
Good interview! Gods speed Tyler... The FAA is out of its mind and the word overstepping is putting it lightly. Allow Karen to track me and come harass me while I'm out flying in a location? Brilliant!!! I choose some locations for the reason that there is nobody there to bother me and nobody to be bothered by me. This will change now and if this continues in this direction we all may as well be microchipped. That sounds crazy right? Well so does sharing my location with the public where I am flying with my toys that are worth a lot of money.
I’m really hoping that Tyler and his legal team kick the FAA 🍑 and bring home the win for the drone community, this whole remote ID is unjust in so many ways
Did some independent research. Communist China's drone laws are less strict than the United States. So much for the land of the free and the home of the brave.
Everyone thinks the US is the bastion of freedom, but in every world index, the US is waaaaay down the list, meanwhile our allies like Canada, Australia, Denmark, Sweden, etc, always rate in the the top 5.
Not a concern to the general public either. Things similar to remote ID are already being proposed for all sorts of things. This was just a test to see what they can get away with.
Agreed, but now we just need to be one as a good community, and filter out the trash that poisons the hobby/industry/sport for those who abide by respectf/privacy/security. Laws and issues follow morons who abuse their freedoms. I just came from a video now where a dope was diving a radio tower nearly missing the antennae... that sort of thing.
I am so happy to hear this news. I never understood how the FAA feels that they can regulate R/C model aircraft. Plus, aircraft are not supposed to fly below 500ft, UAV’s are not supposed to fly above 400ft. Geofencing and altitude limits would cover most of the safety issues. Not invasion of privacy and costs to the UAV pilots.
Well Done, Russ. Thank you for the excellent interview with #RaceDayQuads Yes, these have a long uphill battle for them and the entire drone community. Thank you for posting the gofundme link to help in their quest to find justice with these Remote ID Regulations. Again, thank you for this outstanding interview.
For comparison, consider that under the Texas Public Information Act, even license plate numbers, if they appear in official records, are not subject to disclosure. Not only the personal details of the license plate “owners,” but the LP number itself.
Thanks for doing this video Russ. I thought everyone had just rolled over and played dead and just accepted the FAA's final(ish) rule. Glad to see RDQ trying to do something. I think many were reluctantly accepting the final rule only because it wasn't as extreme as the NPRM. But as you pointed out broadcast is not just a digital license plate, and opens up many dangers when controller location is included.
I donated tonight. It's really sad, but understandable since this is still a young industry, that this gentleman is the only company (possibly I guess) that is working on making this new law correct - meaning public informed - I guess that is understandable but also sad. How do things become law without our input? Yeah, different times - different crimes. Thanks Tyler. Thanks 51D

Most follow the rules in place already, especially the Part 107 pilots and actually Remote ID for BVLOS Commercial Part 107 would be good for the industry. Its the hobby that does not make sense. Most GPS Camera Drone and FPV pilots fly low to the ground to get incredible video or have fun racing. Nothing interesting above 400' AGL, miss well just go to Goggle earth then.

Thanks Russ and Tyler for sharing this information. Totally agree with Tyler's point about companies like Amazon & UPS being in one category, and the hobbyist being in another. Hopefully the FAA will eventually see the wisdom of this idea. Also, don't mind law enforcement knowing where I am, but strongly object to just the average "Joe" with a cell phone knowing where I am, even as a hobbyist.
Thanks so much for presenting this. The FAA were hell bent on implementing remote ID, perhaps driven by the government who saw easy dollars from commercializing the sub 400ft airspace. The public consultation was merely an annoying formality and was largely ignored. It is a ridiculous idea to even consider regulating this airspace as it includes cranes, birds, kites and any activity that may involve something tall, apart from the hobby which we love. It is an invasion of the right to do things in the airspace outside your own front door. Please support this young man. I certainly will

Exactly, all this regulation is preparation for full-on beyond VLOS automated logistic systems. It's as if hobbyists are inconvenient and the FAA is pandering to those in big business rubbing their hands together at the thought of the billions to be saved in shipping costs.
Nice video. As far as the quality of your side, it's fine. Video quality is tricky with these types of virtual meeting calls. The thing with Zoom, AFAIK, is that the entire video is recorded on their server. So you are at the mercy of the connection quality between you, your guest(s) and Zoom. Depending on the computer you are using and software, the actual video resolution will have limitations. There are a lot of things that can affect AV quality. If you're straight recording into Zoom, Skype, etc. with any kind of webcam setup, no matter what camera, and you are using a Mac, 720p is the best you're going to get. The workaround is to use OBS and it will record at least at 1080p, and probably 4k. I haven't tested 4k. You can also record your half of the call locally (on the camera) and then combine it with your guest(s) videos. This is how people who do this regularly get that crystal clear image. If all parties involved do this, then it's even better. Then you use the video conference software to sync everything in post. This means that your guest(s) will need to send you their file via something like Dropbox. For Windows, I'm pretty sure webcams don't have the same hardware/software limitations that Macs do. There's no technical reason for this on the Mac side. I truly don't understand Apple's 720p cap. Even their new M1 MBPs are capped at 720p. It's a great looking 720p due to some of the same computational videography magic they do on the iPhones, but it's still 720p. Capture devices like those from Elgato and Black Magic are a way to get 1080p and 4k from a DSLR/Mirrorless. Or using something like EpocCam on an iPhone (no 4k). I did an episode of my newer YT channel Behind the Green Screen about this (Episode #3). The content of this video was great and, again, your video quality, and Tyler's was fine given how Zoom records these calls.
That's bullshit!!!!!! The FAA shouldn't be able to force drone pilots to go through all this crap, especially when there's a whole lot of people who have drones that struggled to even be able to afford a drone, and now if they make everyone do this and we have to get a new drone with remote ID capabilities, then a lot of people aren't going to be able to afford it! It's already hard enough for me to have a drone, which took a lot of work for me to get the money together to be able to afford a drone, which I'm Disabled and can't work anymore, I haven't been able to work since 2008, and in 2009 I filed for Disability, but year after year for the past 11 years I've been denied even though I have all the medical evidence to prove my case, but that's the good ole crooked and corrupt Government for you, so I struggle just to survive! Without me being able to fly my drone, then I'll be seriously pissed off, because I have mental health issues, me being able to fly my drone gives me a little piece of mind, it helps me relax, and from what I can see, it looks like they're going to screw up my life even more than they already are! The Government is out of control, they are getting away with whatever they want to, like they did when they started the DMV corporation, which they created to be able to suck the money out of the American people, forcing us to get a driver's license, tags and insurance, which never used to be years ago, which a whole lot of people are refusing to get a driver's license, tags and insurance, they don't want their rights taken away from them like the Government has been doing. It's all just another way for the Government having a way to keep us under control and being able to keep tabs on everything we do, it's sickening!!! The Government should just leave us alone, unless we are doing something to hurt ourself or others, but I know that I'm not doing anything wrong to hurt myself or others. It's all just a bunch of BULLSHIT to screw with us and making it harder for the less fortunate people to have a little fun once in awhile!
Not to mention that the FAA is circumventing the Supreme Court ruling that says personal device data is private (Carpenter vs United States). By forcing us to broadcast the data publicly. If this is allowed that opens the door for the NHTSA to require auto manufacturers broadcast location data publicly, or the FCC requiring cell phone manufacturers broadcast location. This will not end if the FAA isn't stopped now!
Have you done a piece on the CBO requirement for recreational fliers? Seems like there should be freedom of association issues involved but I haven't really looked into it, as there are no approved CBOs as of today's date according to the FAA website.
I'm glad it wasn't just pushed aside and we let the faa just walk all over us, we are a big community and it's growing day by day especially the hobbyist section with custom built quads for freestyle and racing and heck even custom builds to use for getting really cool and new cinematic shots. Hopefully if nothing else it gets changed for the hobbyist and novice flyers
so how would the faa know if you are flying drone if you have a older drone with no id transmitter on it? and what does the fcc have to say on this? as even ham radio is prohibited from broadcasting.
Not only the recreational/commercial drone and fpv pilots up in arms, so are the rc modelers flying their aircraft. Many fly in parks because there is no AMA site near them. We need to get the access to the information restricted.
I haven't been able to get good quality with my Sony Mirrorless over USB either. Seems like you need to get an HDMI capture card and use the feed out of the mini HDMI.
This is the way it really should be. It's ridiculous how hard they seem to want it hard for someone to do anything with any drone. It's kinda like one of those things that's gotten very big and the bigger guy wants to "take it from here."
Yes I agree, That Terribly Unsafe aspect of Remote ID enabling just any 1 person being able to locate & confront a drone pilot is wrong & it definitely needs to be deleted in the ruling ..Kudos to him including/addressing this in their lawsuit 👍
Just a quick comment off the subject if you recall the time you put the mavic mini propellers on the mavic mini 2 and you notice that the screws were not the same size so you could have damaged the motor propeller mount's,, well I found a great way to use the original screws for the mavic 2 but using the mavic 1 propellers and I must say that that mavic 2 with the other propellers it's actually quieter than it was with the original mavic 2 propellers I'll send you the info on this little modification and they fit beautiful and spin nice and it's an easy job if you have a lot of mavic Mini-props around like l had
I have yet to hear from anyone of how this will affect the privacy of your mobile device that is used to fly as well. I do not think apple would be to happy with their device locations being broadcast to the general public. I am sure it violates the privacy policy that the user agrees to when the phone is purchased and activated.
Go go RDQ!!!!! My fingers are crossed to save the hobby! Hope some others will join in and help them. Everything in my life I've gotten into has been either controlled or shut down. I dont want fpv to be the next thing again. While being safe this is are freedom,our hobby!
Keep up the good work Taylor and stay strong 💪 thanks for fighting for our hobby that we love to love and love to innovate! God bless take care stay safe
Tyler, great work! It is so awesome to hear that we have some chance to save our hobby. I am one of those who loved our hobby so much but decided to sell my drones and move on. It is very unfortunate. Yes, remote ID was one of the reasons but it was not all. I am also very disappointed at DJI. Every drone since Mavic Air that they released no longer supports native waypoints. Instead they released SDK that would allow companies like Litchi to utilize virtual stick. I am sorry, but virtual stick is not good enough. It is like going a step backwards. If I am spending so much money on a drone, I want it to inherit all capabilities of previous drones. I was also put back by information that DJI was providing drones to Chinese government to conduct human right abuses. So those three things got me away from the hobby that I love: 1. Remote ID requirements, 2. No Native Waypoint Support on new DJI drones and 3. DJI's participation in human rights abuse that Chinese government is conducting. Tyler..I will chip in some money to help you fight FAA in court. Great job man! You are our only hope.
Happy that someone is fighting for us. I understand that they are competitors, but I would like to see GetFPV join RDQ in this. If they see two competitors joining forces it will really stick out.
They also need to define what constitutes a business. For instance: if your hobby doesn’t make $400 a year, you don’t have a business. My “hobby” that I want to use my drone for has made me 50 cents a year for the last twelve years (on average), but I can’t film with my drone and put it on TH-cam because it’s “furtherance of a business” (because I sell my music online). This is FAA/government overreach.
Yay! I'm so hoping that we can enjoy this hobby without the worry of reporting every last thing to the FAA and worrying about being targeted for some minute misunderstanding of the hundreds of pages of rules....
Thanks for following up on this RemoteID issue Russ. This interview is really interesting & important to let us know what’s being done so far for that anticipated rule. Q: what were you looking at to your left? 😂😉
Once your done in America, do you want to come to Australia and work on the licence and registration system for all drones. It is legaly required already to have a licence and registration for any drone or remote aircraft to fly, however there is no way to apply for said licence and registration.
I'm going to need to research this a bit more now that I finally got into drones and excitedly awaiting it to arrive. What I do know is that these kinds of rulings shouldn't include recreational or content creators and basic photography, where the drones are likely within line of sight, etc. They should include flying above certain elevations, distances, specific locations (certain buildings, events, etc.) in a content ID system, but otherwise the regulations should be rather relaxed. People are already harassed just for being in public areas (you'll get a gun pointed at you for using certain public access trails, throughways, etc.), for hammocking in certain spaces (where laying out a blanket and laying on the blanket is still allowed?), among other things (heck, there is even a hate group going after "ex-mormons" for leaving the religion). People are harassed for even explicitly legal activities all the time. Drone users will be harassed by certain individuals with this FAA overstep.
I'm not a drone pilot but do fly RC Helicopters. It's a sad day that a few have ruin this hobby (regardless of what you fly). Myself have too much money invested in pod & boom birds plus scale helicopters. So, I fly like the real ones and have taken great pain to follow the AMA rules and guidelines to the letter. Wish Tyler the very best in this lawsuit.
This affects model planes and helicopter s too which are flown line of site. 75% of fixed wing modelers don't fly at a AMA field. I fly at empty soccer field.
Recommendation for Tyler : Avoid the UMs and UHs, when they are not present, listeners will believe in the confidence of information being spoken. There is a saying, “It’s not what you say, but how you say it” I really hope that the anti-RemoteID move is successful (to a point)
Not only will Remote ID as currently proposed give people a way for anyone to locate and harrass pilots, but i it will also set them up for being robbed.
@@51Drones I live in a very high crime area. Any criminal who sees my drone in the sky will be able to instantly locate me and hold me at gun point till I fly my drive back to give to them.
I see in a lot of drone video the operator tell the people in public that they have no exception of privacy in public so why would as a drone operator would I have any exception privacy ?
Hi Russ great video info..I was watching your past videos on SD cards, I have the new DJI FPV drone & I'm recording in 4K/60 & I'm having problems seeing my video on my computer & laptop it's all distorted Pixelated & sometimes not even giving me any video at all, I get audio of the motors, I have no problem in 1080p, what do you think is the problem..? I've never had any problems with my 4K footage on my old Upair one drone. Thanx for any help you can give. 🕹🚁👍
There is a good chance you need a faster laptop. My desktop runs it fine but my 4K TV struggles with 4K 60 fps so I convert it to 4K 30 fps and it works fine. Try using Handbrake to down convert it to 2.7K 60 fps or even 30 fps, see if that helps. Try it on a faster system as well to see if that helps.
@@robripingill4897 Handbrake is a video transcoding application. You can Google "Handbrake download", drag and drop a video to test it out. Set it to output x264 or x264, and whatever FPS and resolution you want to try. There are some guides on setting it up, it is pretty easy to use.
@@speedycpu Thanx again for the info. but I think your right my laptop is just to old & slow, looking for a newer laptop that can handle 4K video & also one that I can do all my editing too. 🕹🚁👍

@@dwaynepothier6161 Well this situation has to involve politics and the judicial system. If it was a situation that didn't involve our constitutional rights so be it Dwayne but this does. If we do not fight this all of us loose, some more than others........ you are right politics should mever be an issue or brought up here but this time it needs to be.
Exactly, all this regulation is preparation for full-on beyond VLOS automated logistic systems. It's as if hobbyists are inconvenient and the FAA is pandering to those in big business rubbing their hands together at the thought of the billions to be saved in shipping costs.
Nice video. As far as the quality of your side, it's fine. Video quality is tricky with these types of virtual meeting calls. The thing with Zoom, AFAIK, is that the entire video is recorded on their server. So you are at the mercy of the connection quality between you, your guest(s) and Zoom. Depending on the computer you are using and software, the actual video resolution will have limitations. There are a lot of things that can affect AV quality.
If you're straight recording into Zoom, Skype, etc. with any kind of webcam setup, no matter what camera, and you are using a Mac, 720p is the best you're going to get. The workaround is to use OBS and it will record at least at 1080p, and probably 4k. I haven't tested 4k. You can also record your half of the call locally (on the camera) and then combine it with your guest(s) videos. This is how people who do this regularly get that crystal clear image. If all parties involved do this, then it's even better. Then you use the video conference software to sync everything in post. This means that your guest(s) will need to send you their file via something like Dropbox.
For Windows, I'm pretty sure webcams don't have the same hardware/software limitations that Macs do. There's no technical reason for this on the Mac side. I truly don't understand Apple's 720p cap. Even their new M1 MBPs are capped at 720p. It's a great looking 720p due to some of the same computational videography magic they do on the iPhones, but it's still 720p.
Capture devices like those from Elgato and Black Magic are a way to get 1080p and 4k from a DSLR/Mirrorless. Or using something like EpocCam on an iPhone (no 4k). I did an episode of my newer YT channel Behind the Green Screen about this (Episode #3).
The content of this video was great and, again, your video quality, and Tyler's was fine given how Zoom records these calls.
That's bullshit!!!!!! The FAA shouldn't be able to force drone pilots to go through all this crap, especially when there's a whole lot of people who have drones that struggled to even be able to afford a drone, and now if they make everyone do this and we have to get a new drone with remote ID capabilities, then a lot of people aren't going to be able to afford it! It's already hard enough for me to have a drone, which took a lot of work for me to get the money together to be able to afford a drone, which I'm Disabled and can't work anymore, I haven't been able to work since 2008, and in 2009 I filed for Disability, but year after year for the past 11 years I've been denied even though I have all the medical evidence to prove my case, but that's the good ole crooked and corrupt Government for you, so I struggle just to survive! Without me being able to fly my drone, then I'll be seriously pissed off, because I have mental health issues, me being able to fly my drone gives me a little piece of mind, it helps me relax, and from what I can see, it looks like they're going to screw up my life even more than they already are!
The Government is out of control, they are getting away with whatever they want to, like they did when they started the DMV corporation, which they created to be able to suck the money out of the American people, forcing us to get a driver's license, tags and insurance, which never used to be years ago, which a whole lot of people are refusing to get a driver's license, tags and insurance, they don't want their rights taken away from them like the Government has been doing. It's all just another way for the Government having a way to keep us under control and being able to keep tabs on everything we do, it's sickening!!! The Government should just leave us alone, unless we are doing something to hurt ourself or others, but I know that I'm not doing anything wrong to hurt myself or others. It's all just a bunch of BULLSHIT to screw with us and making it harder for the less fortunate people to have a little fun once in awhile!
Not to mention that the FAA is circumventing the Supreme Court ruling that says personal device data is private (Carpenter vs United States). By forcing us to broadcast the data publicly. If this is allowed that opens the door for the NHTSA to require auto manufacturers broadcast location data publicly, or the FCC requiring cell phone manufacturers broadcast location. This will not end if the FAA isn't stopped now!
That's awesome. Thanks for keeping us updated on this issue. Can't wait to see the outcome of all this.
Have you done a piece on the CBO requirement for recreational fliers? Seems like there should be freedom of association issues involved but I haven't really looked into it, as there are no approved CBOs as of today's date according to the FAA website.
I'm glad it wasn't just pushed aside and we let the faa just walk all over us, we are a big community and it's growing day by day especially the hobbyist section with custom built quads for freestyle and racing and heck even custom builds to use for getting really cool and new cinematic shots. Hopefully if nothing else it gets changed for the hobbyist and novice flyers
Tyler you're our only hope; may the force be with you!!! Cheers for Alaska!!
so how would the faa know if you are flying drone if you have a older drone with no id transmitter on it?
and what does the fcc have to say on this? as even ham radio is prohibited from broadcasting.
Not only the recreational/commercial drone and fpv pilots up in arms, so are the rc modelers flying their aircraft. Many fly in parks because there is no AMA site near them. We need to get the access to the information restricted.
I haven't been able to get good quality with my Sony Mirrorless over USB either. Seems like you need to get an HDMI capture card and use the feed out of the mini HDMI.
I like the fact you give a damn about production values. Always looks good.
Thanks for posting this.
Great interview and very interesting information. I wish RaceDayQuads much success with their lawsuit against the FAA.
Thank you so much. Great interview. Totally agree.
This is the way it really should be. It's ridiculous how hard they seem to want it hard for someone to do anything with any drone. It's kinda like one of those things that's gotten very big and the bigger guy wants to "take it from here."
I was waiting for you to report on this :)
Yes I agree, That Terribly Unsafe aspect of Remote ID enabling just any 1 person being able to locate & confront a drone pilot is wrong & it definitely needs to be deleted in the ruling ..Kudos to him including/addressing this in their lawsuit 👍
Spread the knowledge, spread the word...👍🏻🍻👊🏻
Just a quick comment off the subject if you recall the time you put the mavic mini propellers on the mavic mini 2 and you notice that the screws were not the same size so you could have damaged the motor propeller mount's,, well I found a great way to use the original screws for the mavic 2 but using the mavic 1 propellers and I must say that that mavic 2 with the other propellers it's actually quieter than it was with the original mavic 2 propellers I'll send you the info on this little modification and they fit beautiful and spin nice and it's an easy job if you have a lot of mavic Mini-props around like l had
Thanks for putting this out there! Great info! Thanks to you both!
Is the drone allow to pass over a moving vehicle, for example passing a street?
I don't think your camera looks overly bad in the interview, just a tad soft on the edges. Great interview!
I have yet to hear from anyone of how this will affect the privacy of your mobile device that is used to fly as well. I do not think apple would be to happy with their device locations being broadcast to the general public. I am sure it violates the privacy policy that the user agrees to when the phone is purchased and activated.
RID will absolutely be weaponized by the the hysterical drone haters. They already do it with YT and IG.
Great interview Russ
This whole issues has been caused by the “Timmy next door” that IS posing a threat to public safety. One idiot ruining it for everybody..
Thanks for the information Russ. I hope they win the case regarding Remote ID.
Go go RDQ!!!!! My fingers are crossed to save the hobby! Hope some others will join in and help them. Everything in my life I've gotten into has been either controlled or shut down. I dont want fpv to be the next thing again. While being safe this is are freedom,our hobby!
Keep up the good work Taylor and stay strong 💪 thanks for fighting for our hobby that we love to love and love to innovate!
God bless take care stay safe
Thank you 51 drones as well I appreciate your work ,Nice video it’s So important 👍 so thank you for spreading the word
Thanks for the update
Tyler, great work! It is so awesome to hear that we have some chance to save our hobby. I am one of those who loved our hobby so much but decided to sell my drones and move on. It is very unfortunate. Yes, remote ID was one of the reasons but it was not all. I am also very disappointed at DJI. Every drone since Mavic Air that they released no longer supports native waypoints. Instead they released SDK that would allow companies like Litchi to utilize virtual stick. I am sorry, but virtual stick is not good enough. It is like going a step backwards. If I am spending so much money on a drone, I want it to inherit all capabilities of previous drones. I was also put back by information that DJI was providing drones to Chinese government to conduct human right abuses. So those three things got me away from the hobby that I love: 1. Remote ID requirements, 2. No Native Waypoint Support on new DJI drones and 3. DJI's participation in human rights abuse that Chinese government is conducting. Tyler..I will chip in some money to help you fight FAA in court. Great job man! You are our only hope.
Happy that someone is fighting for us. I understand that they are competitors, but I would like to see GetFPV join RDQ in this.
If they see two competitors joining forces it will really stick out.
They also need to define what constitutes a business. For instance: if your hobby doesn’t make $400 a year, you don’t have a business. My “hobby” that I want to use my drone for has made me 50 cents a year for the last twelve years (on average), but I can’t film with my drone and put it on TH-cam because it’s “furtherance of a business” (because I sell my music online). This is FAA/government overreach.
Do we ever find out what happened to the lawsuit
Yay! I'm so hoping that we can enjoy this hobby without the worry of reporting every last thing to the FAA and worrying about being targeted for some minute misunderstanding of the hundreds of pages of rules....
Thanks for following up on this RemoteID issue Russ. This interview is really interesting & important to let us know what’s being done so far for that anticipated rule.
Q: what were you looking at to your left? 😂😉
My screen, looking at Tyler as he spoke
@@51Drones I thought you were being distracted by something else lol. Thanks again for such great informative videos Russ.
Thank you for bringing this to my attention, I donated.
Once your done in America, do you want to come to Australia and work on the licence and registration system for all drones. It is legaly required already to have a licence and registration for any drone or remote aircraft to fly, however there is no way to apply for said licence and registration.
Tyler is one of the good guys
Thanks Russ, always on top of things!
I'm going to need to research this a bit more now that I finally got into drones and excitedly awaiting it to arrive. What I do know is that these kinds of rulings shouldn't include recreational or content creators and basic photography, where the drones are likely within line of sight, etc. They should include flying above certain elevations, distances, specific locations (certain buildings, events, etc.) in a content ID system, but otherwise the regulations should be rather relaxed.
People are already harassed just for being in public areas (you'll get a gun pointed at you for using certain public access trails, throughways, etc.), for hammocking in certain spaces (where laying out a blanket and laying on the blanket is still allowed?), among other things (heck, there is even a hate group going after "ex-mormons" for leaving the religion). People are harassed for even explicitly legal activities all the time.
Drone users will be harassed by certain individuals with this FAA overstep.
Hats off to Tyler at RDQ
Great interview. Thank you for sharing. What did you keep looking at to your left? It made it seem like you were distacted.
If you don’t know, I can’t explain it to you.
@@51Drones well, anyway, it made me wonder if I should be watching since you seemed uninterested in what was being said.
@@BuildingByFaith it's his screen jesus
I'm not a drone pilot but do fly RC Helicopters. It's a sad day that a few have ruin this hobby (regardless of what you fly). Myself have too much money invested in pod & boom birds plus scale helicopters. So, I fly like the real ones and have taken great pain to follow the AMA rules and guidelines to the letter. Wish Tyler the very best in this lawsuit.
i just donated. Im counting on you guys!! Go gettem.
This affects model planes and helicopter s too which are flown line of site. 75% of fixed wing modelers don't fly at a AMA field. I fly at empty soccer field.
I'm donating!💪 AND sharing!
Bless you and your efforts 🙏
I was wondering about what you were going to do, from the last interview on JB . Sue ? Thanks brother keep up the good fight
Recommendation for Tyler : Avoid the UMs and UHs, when they are not present, listeners will believe in the confidence of information being spoken.
There is a saying,
“It’s not what you say, but how you say it”
I really hope that the anti-RemoteID move is successful (to a point)
Legal fees are extraordinary. If nothing else support them by buying from their site! I am.
Thanks for posting this info . Now I can help distribute this to other drones.
All the meetings and demos they secretly had, isn't that illegal in and of it's self as far as FAA rule making?
God bless you sir in this good fight!!!!
Go RDQ I chiped in.. and yes they do!! Great Case God bless Tylor
Not only will Remote ID as currently proposed give people a way for anyone to locate and harrass pilots, but i it will also set them up for being robbed.
Yep
@@51Drones I live in a very high crime area. Any criminal who sees my drone in the sky will be able to instantly locate me and hold me at gun point till I fly my drive back to give to them.
I register my drone with faa the question is can faa now know when and where i fly?
I see in a lot of drone video the operator tell the people in public that they have no exception of privacy in public so why would as a drone operator would I have any exception privacy ?
Great topic. Thanks for sharing it!
Thanks for the update.
Thanks 51
Good publicity. I never heard of RDQ until this. I bet their revenue goes vertical.
Hi Russ great video info..I was watching your past videos on SD cards, I have the new DJI FPV drone & I'm recording in 4K/60 & I'm having problems seeing my video on my computer & laptop it's all distorted Pixelated & sometimes not even giving me any video at all, I get audio of the motors, I have no problem in 1080p, what do you think is the problem..? I've never had any problems with my 4K footage on my old Upair one drone. Thanx for any help you can give. 🕹🚁👍
There is a good chance you need a faster laptop. My desktop runs it fine but my 4K TV struggles with 4K 60 fps so I convert it to 4K 30 fps and it works fine. Try using Handbrake to down convert it to 2.7K 60 fps or even 30 fps, see if that helps. Try it on a faster system as well to see if that helps.
@@speedycpu Thanx for the info. I will try your ideas, not familiar with Handbreak is that something on the computer i do..?
@@robripingill4897 Handbrake is a video transcoding application. You can Google "Handbrake download", drag and drop a video to test it out. Set it to output x264 or x264, and whatever FPS and resolution you want to try. There are some guides on setting it up, it is pretty easy to use.
@@speedycpu Thanx again for the info. but I think your right my laptop is just to old & slow, looking for a newer laptop that can handle 4K video & also one that I can do all my editing too. 🕹🚁👍
