Soldato
Had a few days in Wales this weekend, my mates went jumping off cliffs into water, I just filmed it with my Mavic Pro...
Insurance? It would be like insuring a motorcross bike third party, when you can only use on private land.
The regs for recreational flight already state to stay away from people/property, so what would be the point of insurance?
If you go commercial and do pfco then of course that would be a different story.
I might have missed it but has anyone done their PFCO for the CAA on here ? It's something i'm looking at doing, think i'll learn a surprising amount and will let me be insured for the use of it, at the moment i've yet to find an insurer who will touch you without it.
Found a worm hole with my drone today......
Some acro went wrong, I think the battery came loose causing a crash, I heard the thud and the bleeper then nothing battery disconnected? Anyway 4 hours searching a perfectly square field methodically, it only has short clover being grown.
I for the life of me cannot find the quadcopter so annoying when it was only a weekend old.
I knew I should have paid the extra for a hellgate bleeper that comes fitted with a button battery.

Did you manage to get back in the air again?Thanks, will have a look at what you've suggested later.
Looks like only damaged propellers, luckily.
I've a couple of hundred pounds and looking at getting a basic but decent setup, ideally FPV as i'll find that easier to fly. Also looking at the Eachine EV100 for £76, gets some good reviews.
Am I better buying an off the shelf drone + FPV head unit or is it wiser to buy components and build yourself?
Regarding FPV, I take it the footage is done via frequency in a similar manner as controllers, meaning you can run several units at once? Is it also possible to run 1 drone onto 2 FPV headunits? It'd be nice if I was any good for the kids to be able to watch as well and experience it?
Wife bought me a basic quad drone 2 Christmas's ago, 2 batteries each lasting 7 mins and takes hours to charge. Runs via remote or you can control it via wifi and your phone screen using the onboard camera.
In all honesty, I've not touched it in 12 months because it would never fly as you would expect. A simple hover and it would shoot over to one side, almost as though something wasn't right but it cost £40 to not really surprised.

turns out the drone I have got is an X5SW-1, it looks like I could mount my samsung phone inside my vr head unit and use an app for a VR experience from the drone.
Got to figure out why the drone goes up and sideways regardless of the controls that are being pressed. Also how to increase the range and battery length. 7 mins flight time per battery and 120 minutes to charge... not exactly easy to fly for extended periods for practice. Might strip it down and lighten it too, see if that helps
