Buying a professional drone - what you need to pay attention to
Professional drones can be used in a variety of ways. Depending on the desired application, you should therefore take a close look at the existing equipment of the desired model. For example, a professional racer drone needs as little equipment as possible and thus a low weight so that you can achieve the highest possible speeds. A drone for professional filming, on the other hand, should have a correspondingly professional camera in order to be able to take really impressive pictures.
Equipment features that you should pay particular attention to in a professional drone are, for example:
- The mobility in the air for individual flight maneuvers
- Automatic obstacle detection sensors to avoid collisions with other objects
- GPS tracking of the drone
- A long range and a strong battery
- The connection option for VR glasses for an even more realistic flight experience
- A camera with a good lens and high resolution for spectacular images from the air
- Automatic flight modes such as Return-to-Home, Follow-Me, ActiveTrack, and FocusTrack
When it comes to the equipment you need for your professional drone, however, you should remember that every additional component for the equipment also brings more weight. This is not only noticeable when flying itself, but can also lead to your new professional drone and its operation being subject to stricter legal regulations.
Operating a professional drone - you have to observe these legal regulations
Following the adaptation of German law to the EU-wide regulations on the operation of drones, which has been in force since 2021, drones are divided into three different categories. These depend on the size, weight as well as the purpose and location of the drone. A professional drone with high-quality equipment can quickly reach a weight of over 250 g.
In this case, a special drone license is required to use a drone. In addition, you must always adhere to the applicable regulations regarding the minimum distances to people or certain objects as well as any regionally valid no-fly zones while flying.
