My partner and I wear standard issue Dayglo Green "Dork Vests." These things work like gang busters. I even had one guy say, "I see you're with the construction crew so I knew you were okay." I didn't argue. We jokingly call them "Invisibility Cloaks," as people just leave us alone when we wear them. It's quite hilarious the stark difference between wearing a standard issue Dayglo Green vests vs. not.

Dayglo = Social compliance

Always wear my dork vest. Always put out cones. Always put a sign out saying “UAV aerial photography taking place, please stay clear”

I haven't used cones or signage yet. The dork vest seems to work very well on its own. Have you tried flying with the just the vest sans cones and signage?

If the weather wasn't against me today, I'd be trying it out right now...

Only recreationally.

Have always set up an area with signage/cones as it formed part of my Practical flight assessment.

Also, regulations are a little different in the UK as you can’t have anyone ‘not in your control’ within certain distances (reduced slightly during take off and landing). This means we don’t really want anyone just wandering up and chatting to us etc.
