Default Boat Pix copter down in PCB
People staying at my condo in Panama City Beach have texted me pictures of a “Boat Pix.com” copter down in the surf by my condo

I figured drones would have put them out of business by now.

They get pretty damn low.

We had one circling us 2 weeks ago, he couldn't have been but just a few feet above us and there was a couple turns where it looked like he was coming down.

You're not kidding! We just got a thing in the mail from them this week from when they took our picture at Gasparilla. They got low enough a few times I think if they'd have banked hard the rotors would have caught water. Hope everyone is ok!
