Hi all,

In this whole MCO, got interested in toying with Drones, but pretty unclear about the local regulations.

Any drone user able to point me in the right direction or give me some advice on this?

Quick googling tells me there are 3 categories:
1. Drones below 20kg,
2. Drones with surveillance capabilities,
3. Drones over 20kg.
Category 2 & 3 requires license. Am I wrong?

Does this mean that even if I get a toy drone that fits within my palm, I will need to get a license if it has a crappy camera on it?

Thanks everyone!

Nice thanks!

Since you are posting this question in a photography subforum, I suppose you hold certain expectation towards the image/video quality of your drone. Toy drones with built-in crappy cams are usually lightweight (at least to my knowledge).

If you want a drone with considerably decent image/video delivery, do consider the Mavic Mini. It's built specially to combat all the strict flying regulations set by local regulators.

Ps. I am not a seller. I owned a few drones before and currently using a DJI Mavic Air. In my opinion, there aren't any companies (yet) who makes cinematic drones as well as DJI. Unless you are talking about DIY drones like FPV, which is a current trend.
