The way to avoid problems: Never fly drones from a place where you are accessible or visible. And never EVER talk about drones around 'drone guys' or 'radio guys', those two types of people will rat you out to the feds ASAP. I've flown in a country that has draconian laws with impunity for about 15+ years (and other RC before that). I have been flying planes since I was 13, so the thought of someone giving me grief over a literal childrens toy tier drone is so irritating that I just avoid it altogether.

[@arbitraryuser]

One thing to note while flying in weather is that if you're flying above a layer of fog and start descending through the fog, the landing sensor thinks that thick fog is actually the ground and starts initiating an auto landing. That's one way to soil your undies. I had to repeatedly lower altitude, cancel the auto landing, lower altitude etc etc about 20 times until it was all the way through the fog layer. I have no idea what it would have done if I didn't cancel the auto landing. (I hope the answer is that it would have just kept descending but never turn off the props because it never sensed that it stopped descending, but I wasn't about to find out).

[@jjj120]

My Mavic 2 did just that, it just keeps descending very slowly until it is on the actual ground

[@ripcitydrone]

I was filming fog over a river. I had to fight mine from auto landing in the water. Not a fun experience to say the least.

[@spoofer07]

I can confirm. I almost we my undies the same way. But if you let it auto land, it will keep descending until it feels the ground, it won't just shut off the propellers out of the blue. It was an intense experience.

I almost ran into this problem while visiting Greece recently. Even with the Mini 2 you will want to go through the registration process. They are not big on perceived privacy violations so they regulate their use (much more so in the bigger landlocked areas) strictly.

[@Subgunman]

Usually Greece wants to charge you a fee to register almost everything. I would ask to see the regulations which MUST be passed by parliament. If they cannot provide you with the exact law then is BS! It boils down to greasing the palms of local law enforcement. A typical third world country.

[@BernardoSilva70]

How did you register it for use in the EU? I'm traveling to Portugal and I was wondering how the process works.

[@TomInGulfBreeze]

Hmm, it's a little more complicated than that in the US. Everything you said about sub 250g drones is correct for a recreational flyer, but filming for a monetized KZbin channel means you need a part 107 license, and flying part 107 means the drone must be registered no matter what size it is.

[@BEdmonson85]

Indeed. So many KZbinrs seem to not realize this, or just don't care. I think its a silly law, but it's still the law.

[@-b1ghorn087]

I hate to say this because I believe you should be right, but as of this moment KZbinrs can fall into a grey area. If they are filming content for their KZbin channel it’s still considered recreational flying in part 107 eyes. I’d say in a couple years I’d say the laws will catch up and KZbinrs will fall under 107 but currently they do not.

[@---capybara---]

@@-b1ghorn087 The unfortunate truth is that if you are uploading it to KZbin it would be considered commercial, as you do have the potential of making money from that. My personal opinion is that it is a misguided law that will only make drones less safe (They have to target 249g to make it on the consumer market, meaning less sensors for collision detection and shorter flight time) and more impractical to use. I hope that one day the law is relaxed to allow greater innovation with consumer drones.

But if somebody comes along and sees one of my pictures and says I really like it will you sell it I do. KZbin is kind of the same thing. People make content with drones for KZbin because they want to. It’s not exactly a for profit guaranteed job exactly. Nobody is coming to them and says I’ll pay you x if you do such and such with your drone. They do what they want and upload it to KZbin recreationally and if they make a little money from it then good deal. It’s a very confusing topic. FYI until I took pilot institutes part 107 course from Greg I was under the same impression. I specifically had a conversation with the instructor and he explained to me the actual way it is. He verified my situation was legal and didn’t need part 107. He also gave me an example of if you were flying a drone and video’s something happen an you post it on social medias or whatever and a news channel contacts saying they would like to pay you to use it on the evening news for a story you are perfectly legal because 1.

As a drone pilot, I really appreciate you making this content. It's becoming an issue that anyone can purchase a very capable drone online or from any box store, go home and charge the battery and be trained by an app how to fly it within a few hours, and circumvent any knowledge of how to fly safely and legally. I'll admit, I actually did the same thing a few years ago with the original Mavic Mini, but it wasn't my flavor, so I sold it and got into building DIY FPV quadcopters. This required a lot of time, money and effort, and along the way, interacting with a large community of enthusiasts that promote safety and legal flying as a priority. Government regulations are now making it more difficult for us hobbyists to fly, and the main reasons are casual fliers with no understanding of their violations, AND large corporations wanting to harness that same airspace for their own businesses, like drone delivery. I'm in Canada, but I'm now licensed and have registered my +250g rigs with Transport Canada, and closely follow new imposed regulations, such as Remote ID. If we don't follow the basic laws and clamp down on safety issues, we're going to be regulated out of the sky, in favor of big business. I'm not a bootlicker, I just love my hobby, and don't want to see it die, so please, everyone do your part to, at the very least, be smart about flying, so we can all enjoy this incredible technology, and the joy of "flight". 😁✌🏻

@@OviWanKeno9i absolutely man, it is legal below 250g to fly without a license or registration. It's kind of considered a toy in the eyes of the government, but you still have to follow the same safety and privacy laws as you would with a larger drone, and your local areas may have bylaws a boat flying in certain places. I live in a small town in Alberta, and there are no drone signs at some of the local park attractions, so I usually end up flying at like a schoolyard or an empty lot. Those minis are so capable, they're an absolute blast. The only thing I would take into consideration is how windy it is in your area. When they get that small and light, they sometimes have trouble fighting strong winds, like above 25 km an hour. And the higher you go in the sky, the stronger the wind is on any given day. I've been thinking about getting another one just because they're such a excellent machine to have in the tool bag. 🙂

I know what you mean tho, I don't like getting into disputes with people, sometimes it's easier to just find a different location.

This is fantastic advice. Recently in my country (Canada) the police in a city near Toronto flew their drone into a flight path of a airport and crashed into a Cessna. It's crazy to think even a certified pilot and agency could screw up so bad, but even among pro's there's a lot of ways to make mistakes. Luckily DJI won't let us normal people make such a bad mistake but the police don't get lockouts so they really need to know their stuff. These smaller drones can do SO much what a bigger drone can do but in a much safer fashion. Always read up on the laws, do the course and listen not for the grade but for the knowledge. PS: Nobody got hurt but the poor Cessna and the drone was no more. It could've easily been a national/international headline if they had hit the plane in a different way.

I bought a drone yesterday and I am from Germany. Yes, theoretically, every drone needs to be registered, no matter the weight. You also need to have an insurance cover for any damage you could cause. You also need a licence for drones over 250g.

[@solex8881]

Ist so nicht ganz richtig. Ausschlaggebend ist die Kamera in der Drohne! Alle Drohnen, die unter 250 Gramm liegen und keine Kamera haben, sind nicht registrierpflichtig. Ist aber eine Kamera vorhanden, muss man sie versichern und registrieren lassen. Unter diese Regelung fällt sogar die DJI Neo mit 135 Gramm drunter. 😞

sub 250g drones with camera (C0) do not need registering! BUT you are required to register yourself as drone operator with the LBA. thus it's not the drone, it's you getting an ID.

In Germany you as the pilot need to be registered with your registration ID stuck on the drone. So that everyone knows its your drone when you crash it somewhere

[@Oni-Shiro]

in germany you have to register your drone if it has a camera module. regardless of whether it weighs less than 250g. you also need the certificate of competence A1 (A1/A3 can be purchased together for 25€ in an online test).

It's likely that the gimbal got stuck from hitting the sand and the g force spike affecting the control filtering software (simplified). Should have power-cycled it before flying over water, that would recalibrate it. Also using the map rather than the camera can help you navigate back 😊

Something I have to wonder... When the police approached you, how did it go down? Did they ask if you had it registered, and when you said no you got arrested? Or did they just immediately arrest you and ask if it was registered later?

[@FpvSage]

That’s an interesting question but I do know according to the faa you have to produce the proper drone documentation if asked by law enforcement

[@3.k]

Also, if flying in Europe, you need to stick your license number onto the drone. I suppose that the police officer had him show the drone. No sticker, no permit.

[@sky_fpv7529]

Tip for when you get "lost". Even if you did not use (you said you forgot) your RTH feature to get back after your gimbal locked on blue sky, all you needed to do was go to the map page and point the drone (represented by an arrow symbol which shows your orientation) back towards yourself. :-)

Greetings from Germany 😂 Drones are very Hard in Germany so many rules...

[@NicB-Creations]

Actually, if your drone is below 250 grams but is has a camera (and the drone is not officially classed as a toy by the manufacturer) you still need operator registration and put your registration number on the drone. This is mostly for GDPR reasons. In other words, the Mini 3 Pro requires operator registration.

[@russdoesstuff]

That's why I fly this one. I have registered my in the US because I use the fly more batteries here. I did fly in Netherlands recently with it, without any issues. No videos posted yet, still editing it. Great video as always. With rain flight, I think you need to work on your hand launch and hand landing.

[@litestuffllc7249]

I am curous about your experience. So how did they know the weight of your drone? How did they know if it was registered or not? Did they just ask you to land it? What if you simply didnt see them and flew away - did they know where you were? What if you were moving? If you are in a car - most countries don't let the police pull you over just to see what they can find and detain you they need probable cause.

[@Merlinhexer]

If you want to fly in Europe, you need a license for the respective drone class, special insurance and the drone must be registered! You are also only allowed to fly within visual range. So not kilometers away. Penalties can sometimes cost up to 20000 euros. The police simply wait until you have to land and then check you. There is a more relaxed regulation for drones under 250g.

[@QLCSChasing]

The hardest thing about flying a drone is trying to figure out if a flight is legal or not. So many laws about drones. National laws, state laws, county laws, township laws, neighborhood hoa regulations!! It's ridiculous sometimes.

[@andymerc190E]

I've been really wanting to get into drones... I'm just terrified at the thought of sending all that money up in the air 😂

You definitely get used to it! I have a DJI mini 2 and it's very confidence inspiring. I once flew it quite far down an estuary to get a shot and it completely lost signal (there were too many trees and buildings in between me and it). But it just ascends to the height you pre set and then fly's back to you on its own. They also use GPS to hover so it doesn't just drift on its own. Think I paid £70 for insurance for 2 years through DJI too, so helps build confidence while you're learning

[@airtec87]

always start with something small to learn on, I learned on a tello, then got a mavic 2 zoom.

[@andymerc190E]
