Villagers from Trump rally - from the drone
 
1 Attachment(s)
During yesterday's Villagers for Trump golf cart rally yesterday I took the drone up to take pictures/video just to see how many people showed up. In the B&N parking lot there were 400 golf carts there to show support and a couple of hundred others also can be seen coming in from other areas in the video.

I used the still picture attached and BlueBeam Revu to count the number of carts. The markers are still on the picture if you would like to count them yourself (I let the computer do the counting after manually marking them).

Villagers for Trump from the air

My apologies for how jerky the video is, it is basically raw footage sped up to 8x normal speed. The re-positioning and down shots to verify I wasn't over people (safety!) can make the stomach a little light at times.

The point of the video was to get an accurate idea of how may people actually showed up as some exaggeration may occur in either direction based on political leanings. It was a very civil and upbeat gathering with only a few onlookers making unnecessary or ugly remarks.

Great video, thanks. We were there and the amount of people who participated was amazing. We drove around Sumter up to Spanish Springs. As we were coming back down Morse to go back to Sumter Landing, we saw the last of the carts heading north as we got to the gate at 466.

Super nice video. Although I was disappointed by the negative text about the opposition. No need for that.

Let try to keep the politics and bashing out of this or the post will be taken down or closed.

It was amazing how many people turned out for a single event, that's the intent of my original post. Knowing that what was there was only a small fraction of the number of carts in The Villages. Watching them move was like watching an army of ants.
