Hello,
I am about to purchase the Happymodel Mobula6 which is an under 30-gram drone with the battery but has a camera on it.
I assume there are no rules for flying indoors as it’s not airspace but if you are to go outside in otherwise restricted area (like outside your house or the park next to it with buildings close by) can you fly legally or it is treated the same as 2kg drone?
This might be a stupid question but i really have no idea.
Inside you can fly fine but outside you still have to adhere to the drone code and any local bylaws, and as for in the garden you still have to maintain distance from people and property as per drone code. 
Hope this helps.
The law applies to any drone and with regard to flight rules does indeed treat a 30g device the same as a 2kg device. The only benefit, which is minimal, is exemption from registration.
“Small unmanned aircraft” means any unmanned aircraft, other than a balloon or a kite, having a mass of not more than 20kg without its fuel but including any articles or equipment installed in or attached to the aircraft at the commencement of its flight
Most of the more restrictive requirements only apply if the SUA has a camera, so disable the camera and you can fly pretty much wherever you want up to 400ft, so long as it’s safe.
There has been some confusion and downright plain ignorance from some corners of the world where folk believe (and want to believe) a sub 250g can do anything and fly anywhere.
Tis only the registration thats different.
Cant wait till we’re piloting fruit fly sized drones bought from flyonthewall.com 
Thanks for the confirmation.
I still find it ridiculous thought, it’s just 30 grams 
With something that small you won’t want to fly it outside anyway. So I wouldn’t worry too much
It is ridiculous. Their main concern is privacy. As if your gunna fly a whoop to look at a pair of boobies!
Suppose it depends on wether it is classed as a toy or not.
Probably not going by the CAA definition.
Toys are products designed or intended (whether or not exclusively) for use in play by children under 14 years old.
The camera thing for sub 250g drones definately needs clarifying.
CAP1789 states,
But even if the unmanned aircraft is less than 250g in mass, they must also register themselves when it is:
• equipped with a sensor that can capture personal data (i.e. a camera or ‘listening device’), unless it is classed as a toy.
For whoops without an onboard DVR, they might have a camera but they cant “capture personal data”.
Shame though, cos the goggles may certainly have a DVR. But the quality is so low!
It’s really missing a class for whoops etc.
C0 Toy class should be expanded to take in micro drones with a camera solely for FPV flight.
Fully agree Callum.
What about public space but indoors?
I saw this video of a guy flying inside an airport??
Is that legal?
To extend the question, would you need a pfco if you make money from flying indoors?
No, the CAA don’t control any indoor airspace 
Hi All . .
I recently purchased a ‘SJRC F11 4K PRO’ drone . . . .
But viewing the legalities . . Due to it being over 250grms . . .
Felt I needed to join a club to get tips on how to use the drone and do it legally.
Whereabouts is the club based . . ? . . (I am living in Silverstone . . .)
What steps do I need to take to get flying . . ?
Looking forward to hearing form the club . . .
Regards, Tony
Hi Tony @tc542 and welcome to GADC.
Grab a brew, pull up a chair, and spend a couple of hours reading through this CAA series of pages.
There’s quite a lot to take in.
Hi All . . Done my test . . .40/40 . . First time . . .(Happy!!!)
Sorted ‘Operator ID’ and printed ‘Flyer ID’.
Just need to find a place to practice without breaking all those rules and restrictions . . .Doh!
Any recommendations in the Silverstone area appreciated.
