I was thinking about getting a drone as well but not sure how it'll be being out in another country.
Was in curacao and a guy had it recording his kids jumping off the cliff in to the ocean and people was acting surprised he had one. What kind of drone do you have i was looking at those dj ones about a month or so ago

DJI Air 2, I wanted to upgrade to a newer one eventually just cause but with the tariffs plus the drone laws aren’t so laxed as they once one with the idiots flying them in no fly zones/stadiums/california fire rescue mission spaces etc.. more and more no fly zones have went up.

A good option and one I might grab in addition to is the Mini 4 Pro. More compact (you can fit it folded in a pocket mostly) and under 250g when using the standard battery. I mention the weight because anything over 249g you gotta register with the FAA (which isn’t a big deal for most especially if your following the drone flying rules but if not yep that drone is tied back to you), also some country don’t allow the bigger weight drones. Wind resistance is worse with the smaller one obviously but it depends on the conditions your flying in but you really shouldn’t be flying it when its windy conditions anyways for the most part its gonna kill the battery life.L but its hard to beat DJI.. their drones are very easy to fly as long as you use common sense but I know with them being manuf in China there’s been some issue w/ finding them in the states in stock.

If you get one, do your (part 107), its maybe $10 course online IIRC (required for the bigger drones), basically highlights the rules.. maintaining VLOS (visial line of sight) aka your suppose to have eyes on your drone or a spotter when you can’t. (Which honestly depends on where your flying yolo but just use common sense), IIRC not flying over 120m (DJI drone do a wonderful time of reminding you of this as a default setting), not flying over crowds or people w/o either a cert or their approval etc. There more to it but thats just a quick cliff note.

What kind of mask you talking about you have your own snorkle mask? I'm thinking about getting one but I really need to get swim lessons cause I do all the water activities and can't do nothing in the water.

I got the below on Amazon. Easier to breath in. There is a ball in the breathing tube that prevents water from getting in, if the tube goes underwater. Only con about it, if you decide to go underwater, it puts a lot of pressure on your face. The mask tightens up. But I still liked it. That clear piece on the tube is where the gopro connects

Yeah, you just have to research the drone laws before you go to a country. Some are out right banned. Others, you need permission first. I was watching "Best ever food review " show on YouTube. He went to Egypt with a drone and a bunch of cameras with his team. He had paper work. He spent hours at the airport, so they could check his stuff. They confiscated all his equipment and returned it when he was done with his trip. He ended up doing his reviews with a phone

Man fuck this blanket. I had back 2 back nightmares for the first time in the longest smh. Had to suplex a nigga I used to work with in the 2nd one for getting out of pocket.

Then I remembered when I woke up I smashed his ex. It was on some cool shit years after I worked with him tho. Probably should've let him live but he was like 5'8 trying to bully the room and I wasn't having it. Suplexed him then woke up dropping elbows into my bed lmao. Pussy. 😒🤣

Read it nigga. That's what you were supposed to do.


Nah, you right though.

Here's the original clip:



And here's the video I saw, which talks about the reaction to it?



I think it's a dumbass look for Black Americans, but the Black Scottish seem to be happy with the attention so...whatever I guess.

I do think people are surprised that black folks move to the UK outside of England. Like Scottish and Irish is probably rare but not impossible

Did you actually read my posts? I didn't say that Black Americans being surprised or even excited by hearing a Black Scot for the first time made us look stupid.

I said some Black Americans flooding the comments with questions like "Are you really black?" and "How did you get that accent?" are what made us look stupid. Being caught off guard by hearing a Black person with that accent for the first time is one thing. Being shocked that there are Black people in Scotland is another.

One of my exes is from Ireland and black (well her mom was from Barbados). I met her at a party and the music was mad loud so I couldn't really hear too well so when I called her the first time after a while I was like "ok the Irish accent was funny at first but can you stop now?" - At this point I'm thinking this broad is retarded but still cute so it is what it is and then after a very awkward pause she was like... "I'm Irish I can't help it". I don't even know how I talked my way past that but I felt stupid as hell in that moment.

I do (Hero 6 IIRC) along w/ a drone.. you just never know. There’s been trips in the past where I’ve been like you know what damn I wish I had a drone right about now 😂. I don’t do the whole snorkeling thing but I do try to hike and sometimes thats involves waterfalls/water etc where it’s dope not having to risk or tie up my phone to record some hyper lapse etc.

Are all the gopro waterproof?
 
I see go pro has a hydro lens now. Might need to get that for my water activities. Sometimes, the water droplets distort my video and I have to then clean the lenses. Damn, the new gopro 13 features look dope. I would get it but my gopro 9 still works like a charm.
