Bit of a very old video but im amazed at how far this drone could fly with still so much battery left. Who has a drone like this.

Very cool.
It would be almost useless here in NL for consumers (line of sight) but great tech.

Nah.
Just finished reading something that was added to the decision tree of buying my next drone.
A paper was released yesterday where the national government informed the local governments about the upcoming changes regarding being allowed to fly over buildings etc.
The local government was made responsible to take measures if needed.
They can make 'drone zones' (a better name would be 'no drone zones') where you are not allowed to fly.
I really don't like this strategy, because the local people will have interest in making these drone zones, as it regards their own backyards.
So I have a feeling we will see a lot of 'drone zones' in the future when these small drones start flying over buildings and backyards.

This was really not the intention of the new EASA rules, but a part of me does understand the extra rules because I would not like MM2's flying over my garden either.
I will hold back the drone purchase for a little longer and see where it will go.

Thats sad with the restrictions being enforced like that. This will make it more difficult to fly drones openly

Im near a London regional airport but luckily it doesn't cause me too many issues,  mostly just altitude zones so far.
