Question...

The rules say that I must take the picture of my own car, which I fully understand.

But, as technology has moved on since this thread was last updated, I have a question..

What's the position on me taking a photo of my car with me driving it, using my drone?

As I would also be in control of the drone, would this be an admissible photo?

Not at all. I have an idea for a photo which will require quite a bit of planning and setup, so I don't want to do all that for it to be disqualified when posting due to me using the drone.

Just to make it clear, it will be me driving my car, the drone will have been set to follow my controller which will be in the car next to me, and it's my drone, so my photo.

So you’re taking the photo then? Can’t see what the issue is? Sounds like a crazy ass shot though - looking forward to seeing it! :thumbsup:

Is that legal? I understood that you had to maintain constant visual of your drone when flying it. How is that safe while you are driving your Zed. :?

You have to maintain visual contact when flying over public areas. This will be done on private land.
