The video looks 3D.  Amazed at the clarity for $400.   I take it that you do not have airplanes near other than those for crops.  I probably couldn't do that where I live as there are too many commercial planes near.

Lot of private aircraft that fly around...If you go to the 3:59 mark and look at the center of the screen the pole coming up out the grassy area is the outer marker for the Mayberry airport!  But as long as I follow rules, and do not buzz folks with shotguns...I am OK...

No crop dusters to worry about in this part of the world, but the air strip he shows is private and belongs to our uncles.  They let anyone who wants to practice landings or even touch and goes, so he does have to watch a bit more on the weekends for small planes.

let's see....

N bound landing at SeaTac is about 200' above ground and about 300 yards away.
See #1
Trees everywhere.
Local FD is half a mile away and the PD is 2 miles.
Pre/grade/middle/High schools are all within 3/4 mile.
Been known to have a drink on occasion.
SeaTac (proper) is 4 miles away (see number 1).

I can fly my kite on the HS football field within 3/4 mile of the fire dept. at an altitude higher than the jets landing.
If that's not 3 strikes, I don't know what is.

But I don't... Well, sometimes. Maybe. It's my kite and I'll fly it if I want to...

On the way to work yesterday I saw a grass fire. Just looked at paper and it was started by a drone crash. All caught on video.
