So you got Yourself a Drone. Now What?

By Sarah Krolewski · On December 10, 2019

Are you thinking of getting a drone this Holiday Season? Or perhaps someone gave you a starter drone and now you are looking at ways to play with it? Well, look no further. We are here to talk about the things starter owners need to know about operating and maintaining them.

Know the Drone Rules

The most important thing about your new drone is the weight. That will determine whether you can fly your drone immediately or not. Take note that all drones weighing above 250 grams may require some registrations in a growing number of countries. The United Kingdom for example requires a license plate registration and testing for drone owners. The US, Canada, and several European countries may have this in the near future.

To be safe, always check your country’s specific drone laws before you fly one – especially in public places. You can even go for more precision by checking the local area’s regulations. Remember, people still have a fear over new things. A flying toy with a camera can make people nervous. You can always fly it at your backyard; however, your neighbors may not look too kindly at your device.

Privacy First

When it comes to drones, privacy is a big issue. Nobody wants one snooping around their private properties. It can be a bit threatening, and you can get in trouble. Private residences, government buildings, and many more may look down on your drone’s presence. Remember to always research before flying to avoid any trouble with the locals.

Your drone has a fantastic camera on it. This may want you to bring it while you travel. Bringing it along with you to foreign countries can land you in a bit of trouble. Again, this stems from a fear against privacy violations. Knowing the area’s drone regulations can save you a bit in fines, or even prevent any jail time.
