Hopefully this is the correct place to ask. I'm planning on going on an overland world trip in the near future by car, for which I'd like to bring my Mavic Air with me. This causes some problems with a few countries that outright ban drones which I'll have to pass through. First of all, I want...

When I was out recording footage for the last tutorial I ended up Drone Confrontation initiated by me because I was about to fly over a farmers land and he did not seem too happy with me around I decided to the take confrontation up front. What would you have done?

I am purchasing a drone for personal use. Would I have to obtain a certificate to use it for my business? The video/picture wouldn't be sold to customers but rather used as a guide for the workers. No footage would be sold.

So it turns out that FAA and the State Level guidelines for recreational flying of drones are only the first two layers of rules. One also needs to worry about the city regulations. But to my dismay, even that is not it. I live in the San Fransisco Bay area, was trying to fly my DJI Mavic at the...

Has anyone heard of a pilot getting busted for Flying a drone while under some type of influence? I heard of 1 person and that was the man from D.C who flew a Phantom on the White House grounds. I'm not for any NEW laws whatsoever Period.

Hey all, just wanted to get some conversation rolling around what I heard from an event planner in South Florida (South Beach Miami to be specific) this week. So I have a video job filming an engagement proposal on Friday night at a rented out top floor of hotel on the beach. When asking the...

Can someone please explain to me why it is ok for the National Parks Service to ban drones in National Parks? It is concerning that they can decide to ban the use of public land whenever they see fit. I understand limiting operations because of wildfires and wildlife conservation, but when these...

He was flying his quad in a National Park in Spain and a ranger asked him to land it beacause it was a no fly zone. A Spanish TV station published his YouTube video in the news exagerating the facts and it all took huge proportions. The Spanish authorities tracked him and sent him a fine of 600...
