Drone & Laser






Was watching the PBS Newshour night before last and it stated that a new law was going into effect where any drones purchased and used inside the United States would have to be registered if purchased after 12/22/15. This would be free of charge until next year when it will cost $5.00 per registration of each drone. Anyone else see this?

Nice production! What laser were you using? Seems to be quite visible from such a far distance.

I was using a 3.3W blue laser I bought from TaterMay.

The law states that all drones weighing more than x have to be registered, regardless of when they were purchased. If you register them sometime before January something it's free. A quick Google search could clarify this.
 
I guess you didn't point right at the drone due to fear of wiping out the camera?

Just to clarify, all drones over 0.55lb or 250 grams need to be registered (x = 250g). After the free registration expires it still is only $5.

Another good way for the government to make money, I guess.

We do not have a similar policy here in Canada, but I don't doubt there will be one soon.

Luckily however, with the new drone policy, the likelihood of someone getting into legal trouble for flying a drone is potentially reduced by a lot (assuming they do indeed pay registration). I've seen a lot of footage of people receiving ticket's and offenses, and even harassment for flying drones. At least now if this happens, there's the registration factor to defend against that.
 
I Pointed 405nm laser on my drone in mid air and the plastic got on fire, i purchased a second drone next day haha :)
i fixed it using gorilla glue / and 7w laser melting the plastic so it holds :rolleyes:

Lasers vs. Drones is gonna happen soon.

What if I installed a remote controlled 5mw laser on my drone? Would be so cool.

Did a fire ignite or did the plastic just burn? That's crazy if the drone was on fire.
