Hey everyone! The UK Drone Rules changed a lot at the start of 2021 and sometimes it can be a little intimidating to watch hours and hours of videos to get the basics a hobbyist drone flyer in the UK needs to know. Today on Geeksvana, we will bring you the basic UK Drone Rules you need to know in under 8 minutes! Sean will set a timer and run through what you need to know from airspace, to registration and from privacy to flying over people. For a deeper dive into the rules, you can find our UK Drone Rules Playlist, with many specialist videos covering specific subjects here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hYLUvFnttXA&list=PLVV70eK4gSvc62x50DHyBhBOVndX3PJHF
