What should we look for when buying a drone? In addition to technical features like stability, battery life, and carrying capacity, legal restrictions are also important. For example, some countries have flight altitude limits, while others impose registration requirements. Weather conditions and wind resistance are also less talked about but directly affect the drone's lifespan. What do you guys pay attention to? I also want to delve into the details on this topic—shall we research together? 🚁
What should you pay attention to in the drone world?

When buying a drone, I immediately think of the phone-camera duo, bro, because both are determined by "how you use it" rather than "how far you can go." For example, just like Samsung's flagship has 100x zoom, it would be great if the drone could go that high, but let's be real, you don't want to see Mount Everest from the top, right? Drones also have a flight altitude limit. I used to have an old DJI Mini, and while I was like "wow, it can carry such a big thing," it would just tremble in the wind and almost crash down. Later, I got a heavier model with nylon wings; it handles the wind better, but at least it doesn't crash down like a fool.
As for the registration requirement in the law, it's a total pain in the ass, just like those "no photography" signs in some countries. I registered my drone in Germany and checked the flight map in Spain to see if an area was restricted or not. Battery life is also similar to Samsung's fast charging; you buy a model that promises 30 minutes of flight time, but in the wind, it dies in 15. My advice? First, check how long it flies in normal conditions, then plan accordingly. Otherwise, they say "it's 30 minutes," but the wind cuts it down to 15.
