Read up at your official site: Unmanned aircraft and drones | UK Civil Aviation Authority

But from what I read, seems doable as long as you meet other guidelines specified by your CAA.

That should answer your question.

The Drone Code gives excellent illustrations of where NOT to fly. Avoid flying over people or crowds. This is especially important if you are flying a Mavic 2 Zoom (and I will assume a Mavic 2 Pro).

The design of the Mavic 2 Zoom has a fatal flaw where your battery can pop out during flight and leads to 2 solid projectiles falling to the ground. This is apparently a design flaw that is being documented more and more as cases of this occurrence are posted on these forums.

There is no locking mechanism to prevent drone-battery in-flight separation. I recommend that you acquire a third party locking mechanism or do it yourself with a velcro strap that secures the battery to the drone without interference with the bottom sensors.

You can read and see the video of this happening in the Mavic 2 Zoom forum under:
Mid-Air Battery Fall Out! (Mavic Pro)


You can read my experience in General Mavic 2 Discussion Forum posted yesterday.

Fly safe and fly responsibly, and follow your Drone Code.

Very good to know! I was looking into just such a Drone! I'm so happy you stressed over people and stuff. The small planes and helicopters fly well within our 400 foot ceiling and in areas which grant easy sign-off for flight. I often fly in low restriction areas. I would add to be hyper aware of sounds when flying in these areas! These aircraft can appear out of nowhere. Pretty quickly. Drone on!
P.S. Would you happen to know if the Mavic Air 2 can be modded to have zoom capability?
