Isn’t there a chance they’re using a drone that qualifies for these kinds of flights? There’s an ‘or’ in the law that allows for certain conditions.
Sure, but it’s unlikely. You’d need a really lightweight drone with special features and waivers. My main concern is people thinking it’s okay when it’s not.
@Jin
I get it, but maybe explaining the right conditions helps more than just saying ‘it’s illegal.’ It’s possible if the right setup is there.

I still think it’s not safe, even with the right setup.

You might want to rewatch that video if you think it says it’s okay.
Here’s the part where it talks about one-way transits being okay for certain drones. But, it’s true that assuming they have all the permissions is risky.
@Vesper
Yeah, the odds of them having all that setup aren’t great. Just want to make sure people aren’t misled here.

Fair point. There’s always a chance of misunderstanding the rules, especially with how accessible drones are these days. Safety should come first.
@Vesper
True. ND filters are useful in bright light but can be tricky in changing environments like this. If you’re using them, manual settings are best.

Wait, are we allowed to fly over traffic?
I don’t think that’s entirely right.
Who cares? People fly over stuff all the time.

Not sure that’s the best attitude…

Here come the drone police 
This could totally be the new GTA trailer.
Amazing shot, but it feels too long. Maybe cut it down to just 10-15 seconds?
Nice shot. Very clean.
Looks really good! Well done.
Feels like a scene from a movie.
Yeah, it’s a bit oversaturated, but it still works. The red car lights really pop.
Work on smoother moves next time. The lighting looks great, so ND filters weren’t really needed. Maybe reduce the saturation a bit.
Out of jealousy, I’ll say it’s ugly… but actually, it’s a stunning shot!
I thought it wasn’t oversaturated at first… then I changed my mind. It’s about 30 points over what I’d go for. Still, it’s beautiful! Maybe try using different color profiles for a more balanced look.
Great work. Really clean footage!
