Registration Rules

• Recreational use:
  
  • Under 249g → No registration required
• Commercial use (content monetization, client work):
  
  • Part 107 certification required

Core FAA Rules

• Fly below 400 ft (120 m)
• Maintain visual line of sight (VLOS)
• Do NOT fly near:
  
  • Airports
  • Emergency response areas
  • Crowds or moving vehicles

✅ Tip: Always check local airspace before flying using apps like B4UFLY.

In-Flight Best Practices

Safe Flying Techniques

• Start in Beginner Mode
• Keep drone within line of sight
• Avoid sudden acceleration or sharp turns

Using Obstacle Avoidance

• Don’t rely 100% on sensors
• Slow down in tight environments
• Combine manual control + AI assistance

Battery Management

• Return home at 20–25% battery
• Avoid deep discharge (<10%)
• Carry extra batteries for extended sessions

Smart Shooting Without Risk

To balance creativity and safety, follow these proven shot techniques:

Safe Cinematic Shots

• Follow Shot: Use AI tracking for moving subjects
• Orbit Shot: Ensure clear radius before circling
• Reveal Shot: Fly backward slowly with obstacle awareness

Indoor Flying Tips

• Use low-speed mode
• Avoid reflective surfaces
• Keep altitude stable

Common Beginner Mistakes (And How to Avoid Them)

❌ Flying too far too fast

✔ Start with short-distance flights

❌ Ignoring wind conditions

✔ Always check weather before takeoff

❌ Over-relying on obstacle sensors

✔ Maintain manual awareness

❌ Not planning shots

✔ Pre-visualize flight path

Emergency Situations: What to Do

• Signal loss: Drone will auto hover or return home
• Low battery: Initiate return immediately
• Obstacle warning: Stop and reposition manually

🚨 Always prioritize safety over capturing the shot
