European drone pilot here. The new EU regulation on drones is pretty good, because at first every country in Europe had their own set of rules. However the rules are strict, and yes bigger drones need registration. Even though I am registered, I have the recreational A1-3 licenses and I fly Mavic series drones, I almost completely stopped doing that and my go to drone is now also the Mini 3 Pro. Less rules, more opportunities.

That was a hell of an advertisement for it not to be sponsored! Honestly I was surprised when you said it wasn't sponsored. DJI should retroactively pay you for this 😂

Arrested and detained are two different things.

One thing to note while flying in weather is that if you're flying above a layer of fog and start descending through the fog, the landing sensor thinks that thick fog is actually the ground and starts initiating an auto landing. That's one way to soil your undies. I had to repeatedly lower altitude, cancel the auto landing, lower altitude etc etc about 20 times until it was all the way through the fog layer. I have no idea what it would have done if I didn't cancel the auto landing. (I hope the answer is that it would have just kept descending but never turn off the props because it never sensed that it stopped descending, but I wasn't about to find out).

German here. Here in Germany for every drone you need a registration and an insurance. For drones over 250g you also need a „flying license“, so you can prove that your able to handle drones heavier than 250g. And on top of that, you can’t fly over people‘s property. Has to be some sort of fields or „neutral“ land..

Ok... So you were "arrested" or detained for flying some other drone, not this one. Why does the title say that you were ARRESTED for flying this drone? Which u clearly were not my friend 🤔 (Apparently Clickbait is still a thing)

[Dupree]

I love it!! Thank you for the work you did in Kenya brother and also interacting with local kids 💯

[Arsopu]

I wish I was arrested for flying my drone, instead I watched $3k fly off into the horizon. 😂

In the US you must register your drone if you are using it for any type of profit. Including youtube video's if they are monetized.

[BradSaintGeorge]

1:33 Were you panicking with all those kids grabbing and fighting over your drone? lol

[marcfuchs]

That's some commitment to proper content right there. Creating a script and filming the respective pieces literally all around the world. This video SHOULD be sponsored, I guess DJI wouldn't pay a video team for ads to travel around the globe.

[UndecidedMF]

I've got the same one and love it. It's great not having to worry about registering it in a lot of locations.

[boboso]

Thanks for being honest about this, hopefully fellow YouTubers around the world will listen to your words as it affects the entire community. With the remote ID aspect taking effect soon enough this is only going to be more common place with people getting in trouble.

To clarify: In the USA, even with a sub 250 gram drone, when using it commercially (like on this monetized channel) you will need to register the drone AND you will also need your FAA 107 certificate. The only time you don't need to register your drone is if it is less than 250 grams AND you are only flying recreationally. Happy flying!

[kermitzforg]

Cool! I'm actually headed to Kenya next year so good to know about drone regs there. I have the DJI Mini 2 and when I purchased it, it was required that I register it with the FAA in the US even though it was at or below the 249g limit...just so folks are aware. (I think they started requiring that because the smaller drones have become so popular.). Even the Mini 2 is an amazing machine and the registration process was really pretty easy.

Zack is the only person who can make a sponsored style video without it needing to be sponsored.

[freedomforall]

Crazy that Zach can teleport like he does!!

[potatosalad]

Germany really bullied em into an unsponsored ad lmao

I used to build and fly RC aircraft.

With the new rules and regulations, they are acting as if you are able to carry nukes on a sub 1 pound drone!

My aircraft weighed up to 5 pounds with fuel and radio equipment on board. No cameras or packages of any kind.

And we flew from small unregulated airports!

They have taken a sport for kids and adults, and turned it into a highly regulated business for no reason other than 'security theater'. There is no danger to people or property when flown with common sense, and when the Karens are kept at bay...
