Not everyone in TV has "kissing" lanais". I have a small pool and deck in a "birdcage" surrounded by tall plants that provide privacy from the street and from my neighbors. I, for one, would find a drone circling overhead to be rude, intrusive, and a possible/probable invasion of privacy for possible nefarious or illegal purpose. Can you say "telephoto lens"?
Go hover over a golfer getting ready to tee-off, or try to make a 15 ft putt for a birdie an a win on a championship course. Then ask how they like drones. I play, and I would not like it one bit.
