RE: DTUBE DRONES | OLD TOWN RIGA | AND SOME USEFUL TIPS | DTUBE DAILY

in #dtube6 years ago (edited)

As far as I know, the way you fly your drone is illegal in Europe. I hope at least you have some accident insurance ...

pd: this is me being an grumpy old man XD

Sort:  

Sometimes got to break the rules to get the shots. But not entirely illegal. Yes, some shots were a bit higher than the legal limit, but it's still legal to fly a drone that weighs less than 1.5kg in Riga. up to 50m and outside Riga 120m

I was writting something longer but ... I broke a lot of rules when I was young so, honestly, I am nobody to say something about it ... still doing it in some way ;) But the drone is something different because you can affect other people if something happens ... Just think about it and be carefull.

Pd: Your father is right about the longer of the shoots ;)

Yeah! I know. I am very careful when I fly. But I still need to get it insured...

Yeah, with the proper music the longer shots do give an awesome effect.

I fly also but unlike you, I like my Mavic Air ;) btw, if you come to Germany to fly or to the EU in general you need some small metalic plate in the drone with your data in it ... is in the law since January 2018 in the EU for any drone of more than 250 Gr (all drones with good camera), but maybe you already know this.

Pd: Insurance is more just in case ... you never know.

Yeah! I know. We also have that!

Yeah. insurance is good.
