Cool thanks!

As long as the drone is in line of sight of the pilot the FAA wont take issue. The National Parks Service probably wont touch it either since you cant really tell where the pilot launched from. The video creator could just say they launched from the ocean outside park boundaries and the NPS has no jurisdiction in the air. Just my 2 cents.

People like you disgust me! We have rules for a reason!!! Rules don’t apply to just some people! Go visit somewhere else, your not wanted here!!!

Thanks! I really appreciate that.

Yay thanks! This was actually shot by an iPhone 11 Pro except for the drone part and that one shot you were talking about was just in ultra wide mode. I’m actually doing all of my videos right now with different iPhones and hoping to be better on stabilizing it. Maybe later on I’ll get into professional cameras too.

@@winerosetravel5882 Oh- that's too bad. Such nice scenery to only use a cell phone. The Sony's cost much less than that phone and the video is night and day better. No need to stabilize it in post- it is near perfect 1440.

I see, ok great send me the link of your sample footage and also is there a different models for the Sony FDR? Thanks

@@winerosetravel5882 Sure- what is your email- or add it to your "About" and I'll send it to you. It will make a big improvement in the overall quality of your already nice footage. The small sensor on a cell phone just can't compete to a dedicated Sony. I just checked and mine is the Sony HDR-AS300. I also got the optional wrist camera. It allows you to control it from a watch like (wrist mounted) display controller. You can get the camera for ~$298.00. There are a ton of videos on YTube and the Sony website. I have used it skiing and riding motorcycles in the mountains- everyone comments how steady the video is- I did nothing to correct it. Sony also sells a 4k version but it might not be worth the hassle and extra cost (especially if mainly posting online) unless you have 4k displays. It is also a lot harder to work with (huge files.) Mine records up to 1920x1080 @ 60p which is perfect and looks very high quality. Most PC monitors and even websites don't go much higher than true 1080p anyway. Great quality at 1080p is better than poor quality even at 4k. There is more to it than just resolution. Bottom line- it will take you to a new level off video over your cell phone- for sure.

@@MOAB-UT email added. Thanks again

This was actually around Oct2020 when they were very strict on coming in the US Virgin Islands and having to fill out tons of paperwork.

Cool thanks! and I’m sure you’ll love it there. I actually didn’t get any sort of permit or whatsover, I just flew the drone within my line of sight and since there was no runway there I was thinking it’s fine to fly.

@@winerosetravel5882 Drones are not allowed. www.nps.gov/viis/learn/management/drones.htm

@@Defender-Guy I see.. Does it applies throughout the whole island or just part of it?

@@winerosetravel5882 Per Google: phantomcockpit.com/2019/12/02/drone-laws-in-the-u-s-virgin-islands/

@@Defender-Guy I guess I’m ok, since I pretty much complied with the rules mentioned on the thread.

I have been going to both for some time now and often go to Mexico being from Arizona and it is pretty clear which island has the better food and it isn't St. Thomas. Unless something has changed after Covid, the food venue on island at St. John, the food was always been 2 steps in front of St. Thomas it is night and day difference between the two. Country music I totally agree, never could figure that out either, LOL! The racial segregation is an issue, it's a bit think in the Caribbean for whatever reason, for worse than Mexico. Try Banana Deck next time they have really good food and a large variety! Thanks for sharing and happy trails!

Who wants to hear rap music when on vacation? What a waste of time rap music. Yes, you would be better off in Jamica, for sure no country music.
