I was pondering buying a DJI Air 2S (weighs 595g) but with the forthcoming new laws and certifications would it be best for me to get a <250g drone for now, then see how things pan out as of 1st Jan 2023? Also wait and see what certified drones are released this year pending the new rules?
If my research is correct (the rules aren't THAT clear to me .....) and If I did go for the Air 2S I'd need to take the £150 online test to obtain an A2 CofC Drone Licence. However, I may need a different licence if I wanted to continue to fly the Air 2S next year? Or it would be that as the drone will likely be unclassified in 2023 I would need an A3 licence?
I'm new to drones, hence the confusion. I've done a lot of reading but all that's done is confused me even more.
