Yes indeed, I totally agree that while in some cases some of the equipment may be the same, the differences between "REAL"* LOS and the flying camera are great enough that that we should have never been lumped in with them.
* by real I mean the actual eyes of the pilot are seeing whats being flown, with no FPV equipment involved.
