I live in the US where I can normally fly without too much concern. I've been asked to stop a couple of times, stopped immediately, and went on with my life.
However, I have a trip coming up to Peru in December (hopefully with a Mavic and not a P3P). They allow drones to be flown in their country with pretty typical rules. This sadly includes not flying over Macchu Picchu, but oh well. They also require an expensive permit just to bring a tripod into that site, so it seems that they really just want to limit commercial photography. I researched ahead of time and discovered that a new law recently passed so that all drones coming into the country will be confiscated for 10 days. As my trip is 10 days, this pretty much meant that drones were a no-go. Luckily, I speak halfway-decent Spanish and after dozens of emails with the MTC (Peruvian FAA) and Customs, I am on my way to getting pre-approval to bring the drone in, which hopefully will be smooth sailing. I think that flying it in rural areas will be easy except at extremely tourist-filled destinations. Now, just to hope that it doesn't rain.
Awesome video!! |
