[QUOTE="czguy, post: 97253, member: 17637"] Just a quick update. I'm currently traveling throughout Europe and have decided to bring my Spark along after all. I've visited Morocco as well, while my drone spent my visit there in drone jail at the airport. Really shame, the footage I could get there would be great. Flying in Europe seems to be heavily regulated with fines in thousands of euros. So far, in 1 month here, I saw only one other drone, San Marino from all the places. I no longer can say that I fly responsibly, to get the footage I was able to to get, I had to get rid of NFZ restrictions. I've been looked for by London police when flying above Thames getting great footage of the Tower bridge at night or in Rome getting arieral footage of the Coliseum. So to answer my initial question, I would not bother to bring drone along visiting big metropoles if you are not confortable to become an outlaw and be prepared to scout out your take off/landing location extra carefully like a sniper in order not to be caught by police, security or military personnel, which is present at every popular tourist destination, due to past terrorist incidents. With restrictions tightening more and more, drone flying will be reserved to those who are content taking video of endless forests or grass planes far away from civilisation. [/QUOTE]
