In the UK we are restricted to flying no closer than 150 feet to any building or structure not in our control. Is there no similar FAA aviation restriction?

Hmmm, £30 to have it professionally set up and test flown? That is disgraceful, at the very least demand your money back.

In the UK it is illegal to fly a drone over any serious incident that may require medical assistance because it would interfere with, and restrict, the effectiveness of emergency services such as medivac. It's a matter of common sense.

Personally I would put it down to experience and let sleeping dogs lay. As pointed out by others, no harm was done to your drone and confronting the authorities with it may just bring a ton of bricks down on your head. I was once on a beach on an Indian Ocean island when a French woman started...

Excellent video! I spent a week in Iceland earlier this year, with my Mavic, and would have loved to have known about the lagoon. Did you have to obtain permission for that area?

So sad, my condolences to his family.

C'mon guys, this is a ridiculous question and does not warrant a reply. Freefall to preserve battery power? Who on earth would want to do that? It reminds me of years ago when I was teaching my 10 year old son to fly a R/C model aircraft. All was fine 'till he got bored with just flying around...

I am sorry to say that this was nothing but bullying and the officers were acting outside of their remit. It is obvious from the comments by the police that they didn't really have any jurisdiction here and they tried to justify themselves by eventually calling it a traffic offence. Obviously...

Hey, that's a really good quality picture and proves my point perfectly. Ironbridge Gorge, Shropshire, birthplace of the industrial revolution? Isambard Brunel's cast iron bridge.

I have a P4, P4p and a Mavic. I never intended to buy the Mavic but I took my P4p to Az (from the UK) on vacation and crashed it on the third day, so I really needed to replace it and got a good deal on an open box Mavic. Best thing I ever did, the images it produces are great and it is much...

Hi guys I was in Scottsdale for three weeks in Aug/Sept and had my P4p with me. I severely crashed it and bought a mavic as replacement. It was very hot, well over 100f, and I wonder if any of you have had issues flying in such high temperatures.

But please, please, please keep the forum up to date with future developments, including what DJI have to say. Too many members post their difficulties but never close their thread with the eventual conclusion.
