Thanks, I have been looking at laws for drones in NYC, and it really has made me reconsider this purchase. I like this because the video is amazing and I love the portability. I live in Brooklyn, NY and I found out that the NYPD said if anyone sees a drone being operated to call 911 immediately. I also heard that anyone flying a drone in NYC illegally is put on the counter-terrorism list. My issue is the laws are incredibly vague. For now I would like to just play around with it in my house to avoid this situation, I would also want to use it in my backyard. But if I do use it in my backyard, am I breaking the law? It is outside in their airspace, but I am in my property, so how can I be breaking the law if I own the house? What if a neighbor calls the police to tell them I am flying a drone in my backyard, will the police come knock on my door? I don't plan on going over 200 ft high let alone 400 ft, and I would keep it on my property.
I plan on using it when I go on vacation, etc. For instance this summer I plan on going to the Grand Canyon in Nevada, will I be able to even use this?
