Tourist Drones in Parks

[ExFmem]

This year in KTP a tourist had a tripod set up outside the car, though the person was INSIDE still.?? Is that allowed? Seems if it's okay to have a door mount for your camera, maybe this is not that different??

I know trap cameras outside the boundary of your accommodation unit are not allowed in KTP.

Below is a link to the incident BJ referred to when a drone was "attacked" by police helicopter.

Another one fell into Yellowstone hot spring:

Those GoPro cameras are becoming so popular. Surely they can't be allowed if it means hanging your arm out the window to get it where you want it.

I have seen many cars in KNP with GoPro cameras fitted on the bumper or roof

I think that's ok as it's not intrusive.

Yeah i saw a hilux bakkie at letaba december with a GoPro camera attached to the front end of the bonnet, what i also noticed is that the bakkie were covered with dirt up to the roof as if he was driving through dirty muddy water.

Now this could become a huge problem as it would seem maybe he drove extra fast through this just to record an awesome video. I mean i went through some deep water on the S46 after the rains but never got dirt up to the roof of my bakkie. So how fast were he going?

Maybe that happened before entering the park.
