Drone 101: Got a Drone for the Holidays? Here’s What You Need to Know

By D. Albert · On December 24, 2018

The Holidays can be a great time to purchase a recreational drone. Whether it is for you or as a gift to someone, a drone is an interesting item that can generate a lot of interest. Depending on whether the recipient of the drone is a first time or long time user, some things may be in order. For a drone to reach fully its potential, the user has to know the fundamentals of controlling one. Being able to control a drone while it is in the air also lengthens its life considerably, if you can avoid crashes or bumps. Alas, drones can be fragile at times, and a simple bump while it is flying can send it crashing down to the ground. And as they say, gravity always wins in the end.

Holiday Drone Basic Tips

For those thinking of getting a drone for a newer user, purchasing one with user-friendly features can make all the difference. Features such as follow modes, on-air evading systems, and instant returns can make flying a drone a breeze.

Flying a drone also holds a bit of responsibility on the side of the flyer. Rules and regulations need to be followed to ensure a safe environment for everyone involved – even the people around you. Flying a drone near an airport is a definite no-no. Going past the 400 feet above the ground limit endangers aircrafts that may be passing nearby.

Drones and Airports

With recent incidents involving airports, planes, and drone near misses, there is currently a stigma against drones. Stricter regulations may soon come for drone users, such as registrations and heavier fines in case of incidents. Yes – drone users have been fined in the past for violating these regulations. These can come in monetary fees, or in worse cases – jail time. So think twice before flying one, especially in crowded areas, around airports, or even private areas. This goes double for those wanting to record with their camera drones. Privacy concerns are an issue that may never go away, especially in today’s modern age.
