The DJI Mini family is exempt, as is the Autel Nano series. You don't need to register some mass-market drones (those that are lighter than 250g), but you still need to take the Trust test. The DJI Mini 2 weighs 249g, so you don't need to register it, but you still need to take the Trust test to fly You also need to pass a free basic knowledge test online that's pretty easy to ace. But, typically, if your drone weighs 8.8 ounces (250g) or more, you need to register it before you can fly it outdoors legally-even over your property. ![]() The rules of the air vary from region to region-we've covered what to know for flying in the US. Read on for the top drones we've tested, followed by everything you need to know about choosing the right model for your needs and budget. The drones we review are ready-to-fly models, so you can use them right out of the box. Either way come back here and ask and I'm sure we can help.We don't focus on racing, industrial, or agricultural aircraft here-our coverage is squarely on imaging and video. If you're ready to move forward from there you'll have to make a choice either spend a little (300-400) on gear that you'll quickly out grow or spend a lot(1000-1500) on the best gear and it will last years. Then for inspiration look up FPV freestyle videos on YouTube some of the names to look for are Erodyo, Mr Steele, bubbyFPV, SlatFPV, and Botgrinder, there's literally thousands. I'd suggest starting with a build video and see if it's something you'd try. If you think you're interested in FPV go to Joshua Bardwell's channel he has an amazing catalog of videos that can teach you everything you need to know. I still have a DJI mavic air but I haven't flown it in a few years. I started on DJI drones 6 years ago then about 4 years ago I moved over to FPV and haven't looked back since. DJI does everything for you FPV is full manual! It will take most people a couple of weeks in a sim and flying real drones before you can fly 2 batteries back to back with no crashes and a few months to get good. You have to learn electronics and soldering. That being said it's one of the most rewarding hobbies. FPV is an intense time consuming and expensive hobby. Now I just saw another comment where you want to chase and not just film for that you want an FPV drone. You however, will get addicted if you cared this much to enquire on reddit ! So spend equally on research as you do the drone, goggles, remote, & accessories and enjoy your new found hobby / addiction / money pit. You can absolutely get a drone for casually following friends and getting rare shots and angles at the family reunion. This doesn't really matter at all however you may want to take into consideration the information above. ![]() Cuz a small whoop 1s would quite literally get blown around and be unstable, and harder to control etc in the same environment. ![]() ![]() Area kinda allows more stability and more electronics that can make the picture and craft operate to their limits producing the best results for that mission. if one was flying the coast line for NatGeo the bigger the drone the more area. They most definitely make larger ones and equally so smaller ones as well. That is the ideal / target / avg / most desired/ size in the freestyle community and I believe 4" is the racing standard or most common let's call it for racing. It is just the brilliance that is DJI & their name/ logo, product, and their marketing team composed of those who crammed their product into our heads so now, like it or not, that's the standard.įPV crafts come in various sizes but for freestyle bigger than 5" is rare. I mean good on DJI but I too thought that the Fpv drones were so small and puny.
