Does your RC interface handle real-time telemetry data or is it still restricted to the WiFi gubbins?

mate showed me that this morning. Good its becoming popular now. Not sure on the cries for legislation, there are already rules in place, governing the specific filming of individuals.
Its just people shitting themselves because its something new so of course new rules need to be made, even though current ones are perfectly applicable and its not actually any different from wandering around with a video camera in a park

It kinda is, the drone gives you a level of anonymity, where as a bloke with a video camera is kinda obvious.

There's no way of addressing that though is there.
The rules already state you're not meant to fly within 50m of private property, or film anyone specifically without their consent
what more can you do other than ban them, or have a load speaker announcing who is flying it.
or people can chill the fuck out be able to operate without everything having to be governed by a rule

Do you have access to telemetry data via the Arduino?

Why are all your videos just flying directly up? The views are cool but I could strap a camera to a balloon and string and get just as interesting videos. surely these things have more potential than this
