Very informative video, Sankalp. Thank you for sharing. I am in Hamburg and use Air2s, if you have explored this region, can you please suggest some places to capture some cool aerial shots?

[aneeshjoy]

Good information.. Does LBA offer drone exam in English...

[Rubinho]

Hi! Thank you for the very informative video! 2 questions from my side:
1. I already registered my drone in Belgium and have my UAS registration code on my drone and I have insurance. In that case, I don't have to take any of the actions you described in the first 5 minutes of the video, right? Or do I still need to register on the LBA website?
2. Do you know if any major change in the regulation between now and the time the video was made, about a year ago?

Thank you so much, have a good night!

Hi Sankalp. I'm from India and here in Berlin for 2 months only. Please suggest insurance providers and type of insurances for Dji Mini 4pro. I checked with Coverdrone and AXA Deutschland, but unfortunately they sell policies to EU domicile only.

[muradmkm]

Do i also need to register my mini 3 before flying outside? Its under 250 and is it mandatory to get a insurance for this drone?

[naveenpunj]

Very well explained. Is it possible to print operator ID in DM? Because it should be very small and laminated/waterproof.

[MdArshadAli-ydyv]

I am planning to get a drone, but not sure which one should i buy.. which drone do you use and the whats the price.?

[ankitadiga]

But green on the Droniq app means prohibited right?

[nikhilkumar]

Could you please explain the procedure for payment and how to skip payment in case we have a mini 3 pro?

[khushal]

I got my drone last week now I don't find any place in Hamburg to fly it 😔.

[vidyadharpatil]

Which responsibility insurance do you use? Is there any general purpose insurance which covers drones or the drone related insurance need to be purchased separately?

[S_Suresh]

Great video. What about DJI mini 3 or mini 3 pro? Both are less than 250 gms.

[daliborjelenic]

which free app to use for flying drone potenšić atom se?

[markruruecho]

Hi. Please correct me if I am wrong. As how I understood it, you need A1/A3 license to fly a drone even it weighs less than 250g as long as it has camera on it.

[sehmusaykol]

hello Sankalp, I'm considering getting liability insurance for my drone and was wondering where you got yours. Could you please share where you purchased it (I'm also in Munich right now and want to get it when I am here). and please share a few information like coverage, the scope of the region (only for Germany or does it cover other eu countries),

[jayanthsaibasaboina]

​ @ChasingWhereabouts Can you recommend any liability insurance companies? As a traveller from India, I don’t think any German companies insure travellers.

[albertreymadera]

Is hauptlichvischescherung means liability insurance? So i need to have hauptlich first prior to registration? Ty

[adityashinde]

Hi bro,
Thanks for the information
I just want to know that in step 2 which option should I select while registration of drone, Natural person - Wohnsitz Deutschland or natural person - came from outside EU?

As I am student in Germany. Living here from last 10 months. I have valid documents.

Thanks in advance.
