Almost, but not quite. In the US you're legally beholden to fly according to the guidelines of a "community-based organization", which often include generic guidelines like "don't fly wrecklessly" and "don't pose a danger to people, vehicles, animals, or disturb the peace". Should someone call the police on you, it's easier to argue your compliance when your drone is tiny than when it's big. Smaller also tends to be quieter, so you disturb people less and are less likely to get in trouble in the first place.
- wizardofaz 5y ago“Smaller tends to be quieter” Not true in this case. Smaller tends to have higher pitched prop noise which is much more noticeable and annoying to the people around. The larger mavics have larger props that produce a lower pitch noise which blends in much more easily.
- teeray 5y ago> In the US you're legally beholden to fly according to the guidelines of a "community-based organization" Only when flying recreationally under USC 44809. Part 107 is free from CBO requirements (but, of course, has others). There’s also a reckless operation catch-all in 107 too.
