Didn't understand the song choice, but that is very well done. Thanks. Loved it.

It's the FAA, Federal Aviation Administration. I doubt the Future Farmers of America really care. That said, I have heard about the limit on farmers using drones from other sources, and I think the rule is ridiculous. I also think most of the limits on commercial use are ridiculous, though I can see a rationale for limiting news media from flying over emergencies--way too much opportunity for competing drones to crash into each other.

Oh, and while the look in at Tiger Stadium is cool, there is no way that happened Saturday. The endzones and eye weren't painted, and they don't wait until Saturday to do that.

Otherwise, it's a cool video.

Most of the video was taken Saturday. People have already posted that the drone flew near them Saturday. Since the guy flies the drone on campus pretty often, I'm sure he added some of the scenery like the stadium and places that would be congested on gameday from earlier videos he'd taken.

A little secret about my video. The part where you see Les Miles and the team walking down the hill, from that point on, up until the end, I shot with my GoPro on top of a 20 ft pole that I change light bulbs in my house. Flying a drone above people that low, people tend to try and hit it with footballs, so I did not want to put anyone at danger at that point. Now, flying it over the people at the parade ground, no different than someone humming a football and smacking you upside the head with it. It will not come crashing down, only a slow delcine.

Thanks for the message. I will do one again for LSU tailgating next year as well. Just for the big games. People seem to like it and I am as safe as can be with it. Thanks for watching my video.

Thanks for watching. Yes, the stadium video was done back in May of this year. FAA doesn't want you flying over stadiums anyway, (especially on a game day) so I didn't want to push my luck.

The song choice, well I am not a big fan of this music either, but when throwing the video together, the song has slow and fast parts to the song. This made good for editing a video to. Thanks for watching

Most of the video was shot from 1100 am up until 1.5 hours before game time. Shots of the stadium were filmed back in May. Shots of the team walking down the hill and the policeman, crowd, etc, was shot with GoPro and 20ft pole. I did this to make it look like my drone, but not put the people close by at risk. ( or Les and the team) Thanks for watching.

Unless you have a pilot's license, you are correct. It is a stupid law. Hobbists, such as myself, can fly with no license. Someone using it to make a profit, has to have a license. Geaux figure.

Thanks for watching my video. Actually, all that flying was done with the naked eye. I have been flying for quite some time now, and they are very easy to fly. I just recently bought the goggles to be able to have FPV ( first person view) while flying. It is pretty damn cool. Thanks again for watching.

As long as laws aren't broken, you have nothing to worry about. You can not fly over 400 feet, ( which I didn't), You can not fly over a stadium ( which I didn't) I flew up and on the side of the stadium and end. And the stadium flights were done back in May. It is not illegal to fly and people underneath. No different than flying at a beach or farm. The video above the crowds when the team came down, that was all done with a 20ft pole.

As a matter of fact, yes they were playing Jenga at the girls field at the 1:20 mark. Good eye. Thanks for watching.
