See London from a Better Perspective

Drones have become more and more popular for photographers around the city. However, this excitement and popularity does not entice most people, especially the members of Scotland Yard who issued a warning to the new owners of drones not to fly their machines around central London. But having this warning should not stop photographers and drone owners from capturing the city in its full beauty. Having a drone is not wrong, if you use it properly.

Area

When using your drones, you should first be focused on where you will fly it. Knowing the proper spots for drone use will help you capture videos and pictures without worrying about legal cases and concerns. You can only fly your drones that are within the line of your sight; that is usually 500 meters horizontally and 400 feet vertically. Also, you are not allowed to use your drone around the “line of sight” rule by enlisting the the help of spotters; the drone must be in the line of sight of the person directly controlling it. Flying your drone within 150 metres of any congested area and within 150 metres of an outdoor assembly of more than 1000 people is also not allowed.

Always be aware of these regulations, and keep in mind that the rules are only there to keep everyone safe. Happy flying!

Another very famous monument that shouldn’t be missed is the London Eye. Due to its massive size, an aerial shot would be perfect to capture this landmark’s true beauty.

#3 The Tower of London

The White Tower, which is considered to be the oldest part of the fortress, should be preserved in film from every angle possible.

No Fly Zone? No Worries!

As part of security measures, you cannot just fly your Phantom 2 in any area. There are no fly zones located all over the city, but you shouldn’t worry. One of the best and unique features of the DJI Phantom 2 Quadcopter is its ability to prevent accidental flights in restricted areas. This just proves that the Phantom 2 is definitely worth adding your arsenal of digital cameras.
