Hi All,
I'm based in the UK and looking to buy my first drone, the Mavic Pro, the biggest appeal to me is the portability. I've got a honeymoon planned towards the end of the year and would love to take the Mavic with me to get some great photos and footage. We're landing in San Francisco, travelling down the coast (stopping along the way) to LA, then we're off to Mexico.
So enough of the back ground info, I have a few questions/grey areas that I was hoping someone could help me with.
- Firstly, insurance, can anyone recommend any insurance companies? A quick google reveal Moonrock as a UK based insurance company that seem reasonably priced but don't cover USA.
- Also, what kind of cover would you recommend, 3rd party liability is presumably a must, but from searching you seem to have various levels for damage or complete loss.
- Next, any rules/regulations, the UK rules are fairly clear (the dronecode) for personal use, but for California and Mexico I'm struggling to find a nice simple set of regulations. Do I need to register before travelling or should I not sweat it and just go, following the same UK rules?
Any help/suggestions/feedback welcome.
Dex
P.S. Obviously I would be looking to buy the drone with plenty of time to learn all of it's functions well before the Honeymoon. I don't expect to buy it and be able to fly it like a pro the week before we depart
P.P.S. Just noticed I was being a plonker! Moonrook insurance is "per month", I stupidly read that as "per year", guess that insurance is aimed at the Pros, should have read it better.
