IMHO = My thinking the last couple of years is "First come first serve". I set up where I want to be and where I am going to fly before anybody else gets there. This way they can see me and see what I am going to do. So far only 1 person said anything negative and I told him that he saw me and my drone so he should find another location if my drone was going to interfere with what he wanted to do. I explained to him my flight plan so he could get his shots without my drone interfering.

I believe it is important that us drone operators do everything we can not to interfere with other chasers. I also suggest if their is a charter and you are using a drone you need to stay away from any areas the paying customers are going to be using. There are plenty of areas you can fly and not cause the paying customers a problem.
