Watch this BEFORE you fly your SUB 250G drone in the UK - 2024 UPDATE!

Excellent summary of the current situation! Now if only this was required viewing for police officers, security guards and karens I could concentrate on my flights.....

Brilliant video and just what I’ve been searching for. Got my Mini 4 Pro yesterday and I’ve not even taken it out of the Amazon box let alone anything else. Wanted to watch a video like this first to know the rules and lo and behold, there it is. 😀. Many thanks.

Just about to buy my first drone and found this video gave tons of clear advice on the rules. Thank you

Amazing, Sean - well done and thank you. Really like the VLOS traffic lights explanation - might steal that when I'm explaining it to people 😂

Excellent clear and simple advice, just what we need

Good overview of the rules & guidelines for the <250g category. As a recreational flyer your channel provides an excellent resource for users to keep up to date with the latest developments in the regulations. I’m sure you will continue to provide information on what’s required as we approach 2026. As more people become involved in the hobby, and become professional flyers, it’s perhaps understandable that the requirements will evolve to accommodate the greater numbers of participants. I still live in hope that the “Remote ID” requirements will be diluted to allow <250g recreational / non professional flyers to be omitted. Thanks for taking the time to produce these videos.

Brilliant and very concise video. This should be used by the CAA. (It makes a lot more sense than anything they've ever published).

Brilliant summary Sean, - puts similar vids out there to shame! 😉Looking forward to more instructional stuff in the future! 👍 I realise that this vid is UK Centric although a lot of the guidelines are similar in other territories too, but I guess the one bit that did click with me is that as of Jan 1st max altitude in Europe is no longer based on AGL, but the altitude from take off point (a bit of a PITA if flying in an especially mountainous or hilly area!) Keep ‘em coming, Boss!

Thanks for the information you put my mind at rest.now I'm sure how to fly safe.

That was refreshing! Thanks Sean 🙂

Nice video - solid information, thank you

awsome Sean. great info i just fly drones as a hobby.

Great summary as always Sean, thank you! Although the CAA have acknowledged that 'follow me' mode is an acceptable exception to the VLS rule, they have overlooked a couple of other important flight modes. I nearly always fly my Mini 2 in Home Lock mode using the Maven app. This mimics the old Naza M Home Lock mode I always used on my Phantom 2 Vision +.  In Home Lock mode I do NOT need to know which way my drone is oriented. If I wish to move the drone to avoid an obstacle, it is the simple task of moving the pitch and yaw stick in the direction I want the drone to move, away from me moves it directly away from me, left moves it left etc. Simples! In Home Lock (or Course Lock to a slightly lesser degree) even at the limits of visibility I can move the drone in the direction I wish even with my eyes closed, not that I would... Keep up the great work, Brian

Very informative, great for new users who are unsure 👍
