Yeah the FPV community is way better because they actually have to know what they’re doing mostly. They’re mildly noncompliant but only regarding the regs that shouldn’t apply to the size of stuff they fly; RID, registration, and BVLOS don’t make sense for airframes lighter than a goose. They tend to avoid other people because they understand the public is wary of drones and they’re wary of Karens and untrained cops. They put far more hours on their airframes than any of the other amateur operators but every single time I’ve been near a drone doing something dangerous, stupid, or annoying it was a DJI.
Yup. Of course there are some risky fpv pilots but it’s always a DJI user, I won’t even call them pilot, that’s doing something stupid and/or dangerous and ends up on the news.
DJI pilots are either very skilled professionals or inconsiderate wannabe photographers. Freestyle quad pilots rule.
