We are starting to see disclaimers more frequently in videos on the web claiming that the tasks were performed by "professional" UAV pilots. What is that? What makes them professionals? I know guys who have been flying these things before they were in the media everyday. Are they professionals? Are you a professional UAV pilot?
I would say 2a: 1 a : of, relating to, or characteristic of a profession b : engaged in one of the learned professions c (1) : characterized by or conforming to the technical or ethical standards of a profession (2) : exhibiting a courteous, conscientious, and generally businesslike manner in the workplace 2 a : participating for gain or livelihood in an activity or field of endeavor often engaged in by amateurs <a professionalgolfer> b : having a particular profession as a permanent career <aprofessional soldier> c : engaged in by persons receiving financial return<professional football> 3 : following a line of conduct as though it were a profession<a professional patriot> — pro·fes·sion·al·ly adverb
That's the definition alright. I wonder if all the professional "don't try this at home" folks meet that. You didn't vote.
This is funny! It could be summed up as Kids and Old Guys playing with toys. Of course it would be nice to get money for doing it. The difference between and amateur and a professional is simple. The professional takes money and hides his mistakes. ( It creates the illusion he can do it better) Bottom line - posting videos of Stupidity will end it shortly for everyone. I can’t wait for that delivery from Amazon by Multi-rotor. I will keep the Multi=Rotor and throw the package away. I should have a radio that will operate it --
