Laser on the zoom camera?

[Van Shteffy]

I've never read of anyone mounting a laser pen on their drone. It must be illegal?

Probably illegal and why would you want to anyway?

That's about pointing a laser AT the drone, not mounting it to the drone as OP asked.

I stand corrected. It seems like if it's against the law to point at aircraft with a laser, if you did mount one on a drone common sense would dictate "how would you know that you're not interfering with other aircraft you occupy the same airspace with"? legal??? I guess if it were indoors it would be OK if you were willing to take a chance. I use lasers on my larger telescopes as do many others in the hobby. Totally legal. You just need to be responsible for your actions.
