Interesting view for sure. Surely this has to be breaking some rules ?

German DroneTV, Interesting view above the clouds.  Did the condensation from those clouds have any effect on the drone?  Thanks for sharing.

It would depend on where he filmed it and what the drone code for that country contains, just throwing out comments about breaking rules before knowing all the facts is a little shallow at best. However if it was in Bavaria, which the buildings look representative of that region, would have a 120 metre limit on height above take off point, as well as the pilot not being able to see the drone, and or any approaching aircraft, does make this flight risky and open to prosecution.

Not shallow at all. We know where he was flying and he's boasting about a) flying beyond VLOS, b) flying higher than 120 meters and c) flying in/through clouds.

nope, havent checked the height before.

And yes, we have rules in Germany and I konw I have broken the one or the other of them.
In the cloud I was over open field so I ventured only my drone, nothing else.

I think the comments regarding this are not about the risk to your drone, but to other air users such as light aircraft, helicopters, para gliders, gliders. The last being gliders you would certainly not hear coming.

Where did you fly?

General Rules for Flying a Drone in Germany Drones may not fly above 100 meters (328 feet) without a permit. In controlled airspace, the maximum altitude allowed is 50 meters (164 feet). Drone pilots must maintain a direct line of sight with their drones at all times.

Or  Bulgaria

Regulations: Bulgaria (BG) You MAY NOT Fly in clouds.

Where ever it was I hope the local Civil Aviation Administration see the video and prosecute.

Just another video of why to sell up now before the hobby is banned....
