      @ragndroneman I think you might have the wrong channel. I have had Mikey on Geeksvana more than most channels. Including his own interview 'in his words' more than a year ago.
      More recently, I have felt passionately that appearances and interviews can only hurt him until he resolves his situation. Something confirmed in court when the judge reported exactly that.
      If you notice, we don't really have other channels on very much because that hasn't been the style of video more recently.
      Although there are a lot more collabs in the members section with other channels, as we have more freedom there.
      If you think anything on this channel is done 'for views', then you need to reassess. We grow slow and steady based on making content our way.
      Of course, there is also the additional response of, it really is my channel and I will have who I want on, when I see fit.

      The event had a lot of specialist permissions and would have been gone over many time by regulator and those carrying out the event. So, the scrutiny was there as you would hope. But either something has happened beyond those permissions, or something was missed entirely...

      It feels like it fits, doesn't it. If it is that, I can only assume it is an oversight as they went to the trouble of gaining the other permissions.

    I didn't think it would be long before we saw the regulatory motors turning.
    Someone's probably spotted a drone clip taken from a certain location that they shouldn't have been in.
    It's so easy using Google earth pro to pinpoint an exact drone location from video footage.

    @milfordkd Місяць тому +1

    Seems weird, it's not even that hard to get permits to fly on the west side, they must have done that. The drone pilot was in the middle of the bridge with his spotter so they could have LOS the whole time no problem even going through. The whole airspace was prepared for this, I saw the NATS post about how they planned it all out. Really if the CAA had a problem they should have dealt with it way in advance

    • @Geeksvana
      @Geeksvana  Місяць тому +1

      Absolutely. I think it must be a technical issue. Something substantial enough to look into and pull their post but with the amount going on, and the professional way Red Bull run these stunts, I would be surprised if it was something significant.

  • @thedronedetectiveUK
    @thedronedetectiveUK Місяць тому

    Two thoughts come to me. How do they manage the potential uplift from the helicopters rotors. The pilot must climb away as they jump. Secondly, the FPV starts filming at 3,000 feet? Then follows them on the West side of the bridge. Authorised? Unusual.

      Attitudes do vary for sure. Although the risk from a sun 250g is so low, so there is that.

    If the CAA gave RB permission, why the investigation?
    I'm sure appropriate RAs would have been in place before the stunt took place, also any drones used would have suitable insurance cover and permissions, confused on this one 🤔

  • @dopeytree

      @pcka12 Місяць тому

      In UK Sub 250g drones with cameras are not that different to heavier drones in the regulations.
      Drones seen as toys don't count, yet some of them have cameras.
