Phantom 4 (p4p) is by far the best consumer drone ever made for high quality images and videos. The Sony one inch sensor camera and electronics wont fit into the smaller drones and thus the decision; do you need portability or great images?

Good for you for pointing this out! and its nice to start seeing these types of responses here. Not too long ago posting something like this would stir the live free or die fellows who would brow beat anyone who attempted to point out illegal activities, these activities of course affecting...

If they took off from property they own or have legal rights to, you wouldn't think NYC could place restrictions on take offs and landings (assuming FAA regulations were met). However, Its NYC, and nobody challenges the "Authorities". This is becoming the new norm.

There are many restrictions. Heres one link: https://www.fs.usda.gov/Internet/FSE_DOCUMENTS/fseprd612186.pdf
