Hi all dji lovers what's the law regarding going out with our drones. UK government says only go out to exercise so does this mean we can also take our birds and spread there wings and exercise them and our minds.
afraid not classed as essential travel, i even spoke to my local LEO and it is not allowed,Hi all dji lovers what's the law regarding going out with our drones.

Thanks for that.afraid not classed as essential travel, i even spoke to my local LEO and it is not allowed,
thats fine if you can walk and fly legally close to your home and live in a rural area but not in a city environment ,Hi Carl - I have just traded all of my Phantom kit for a Mavic Mini for that precise reason - if I have the mini in my daypack then I can take advantage of opportunity on my daily walk - whereas carting a hard case full of phantom gear would look a bit intentional
Also the reason I'm now on MavicPilots instead of PhantomPilots

I couldn't trade my phantom 4 pro or my other dji drones I can't see what harm would be caused if you was out on your own with nobody around. I also have the mavic air mavic pro 2 zoom mavic pro alpine white and the mavic platinum and the phantom 3 advanced. Its ashame there stuck in there boxes I wounder if we could get some of our £9 registration back lol.Hi Carl - I have just traded all of my Phantom kit for a Mavic Mini for that precise reason - if I have the mini in my daypack then I can take advantage of opportunity on my daily walk - whereas carting a hard case full of phantom gear would look a bit intentional

That's fine will just have to wait till these difficult times are over. And also a big thank you to our NHS and key workers who all work round the clock.we are all going through a difficult time right now,and i was not having a go at you ,i wish i lived next to a large tract of open land and was able to fly when the weather allowed
Totally understand I didn't see it in that way but it's best to see it from all angles.@Mavic Carl hi Carl, i agree with you i would just like to go a short distance from home and fly there are many places where i live for such a trip and i would be in the fresh air and on my own
that is what i said to the LEO when i enquired about flying my drones ,it seems that its more about the journey being done than any other reason
they say that if an accident was to happen while you were out, then you would be putting others in danger, and taking resources away from emergency services fighting the virus
I live just outside the downtown area of a small city. This morning, I walked about 1/4 mile to a park and flew and did not vote in close contact wit anyone. People are permitted to go out and walk and ride their bikes so why can't we fly? You just need to use some common sense.Well that's true enough, and I wholeheartedly agree with you, although I would never fly in a city environment as it would be incredibly difficult to avoid built up areas by 150m as per CAA regs. I am lucky enough to live in a rural area and I mistakenly assume that it is these areas people (and the OP) are discussing on forums such as this.
Hi it don't make sense really it's OK for one but not the other. I miss getting my birds out and it's a shame our license is going to waste it will be renewed in November and that's not far away.Here in California, our county doesn't consider flying a drone as a necessity similar to exercise. Locally there is a park that has always allowed RC activities. Kind of silly IMO that people can use the park to walk or bike at, and people are driving to the park just to enjoy it, but fliers by themselves and away from everybody have been asked to leave as it violates the stay at home order.
No.Hi all dji lovers what's the law regarding going out with our drones. UK government says only go out to exercise so does this mean we can also take our birds and spread there wings and exercise them and our minds.
