Thank you so much for the appreciation 😊
Brooooo! I was currently looking at drones and was really confused about the laws n all, i googled import is banned in india and saw a website selling dji drones... I was in doubt that might it be a scam? So i youtubed about dji drone legal in india and i was searching for the video with the highest views! 😅 I fuckin hated that video!

@@logontogaurav i am interested in the mini 4 pro. Can you suggest where to buy?
@@kusalsur You can check the offline stores near you place. If you are in Delhi, you can check Singla Photo Store.
earned a sub from me. Pure info and clarity. Thanks for all the info.
Thank you so much 😊
Hi Bro, very informative video. Thank you.
Thank you so much 😊
Very much informative video
Thank you so much!
Very well made
Thank you 😊
Just came from dubai to mumbai in air india carrying a mini 3 pro in check in luggage with rc and batteries in handbag and nobody even cared..
It's totally safe if you follow the protocols of batteries 🎉
This comment is going to give a lot of relief to many 😃👍🏻
If the drone is under 250g, do we need to register in Digital Sky ?
@@saibhargavaramu5749 no need bro nobody's asking or nobody cares
@@saibhargavaramu5749 it is no where mentioned that Nano drones are exempted from registration. So having a UIN is suggested.
@@logontogaurav I got my drone, thanks !!
Hi bro ..subscribed... tnx for the video...i was thinking to buy a drone which comes under micro category but was not sure about the licence rules..this video clears that doubt.. tnx
🙌🏻
Its very informative....
Thank you 😊. Now go get a drone 😃
Nice information ❤
Thank you so much 😊
I have just bought mini 4 pro and creating a similar kind of video and creating a channel specific to drones
your information is really helpful best of luck and thanks.
All the best!
Fantastic video, liked and subscribed as a result.
1 questions for extra clarity- I’m planing on traveling India in September with just 2 small pieces of hand luggage. I have the mini pro 4(under 250grams) can I pack my drone in the handluggage as I’m not taking a check in suitcase/bag?
Hope you can clarify!🙏🏽
Thank you so much for your support 😊
Generally, drones need to be kept in check in luggage and only batteries in hand baggage. But it may change based on airlines. So you may check with your airlines about it for more clarity. Drone Rules don't say anything about this.
Is Dji avata 2 in ce mode or fcc mode in India
Thank you sir for your information 🙏
My pleasure 😌
Indeed a very informative video.
I need help to select appropriate drone with acceptable camera in good budget range. Purchase from Mumbai. Need your valuable recommendations.
Thank you so much for the appreciation 😊. I always suggest getting DJI drones as they are the best drones available. Also getting the latest DJI drone is recommended as it will keep you a little future proof. The drone you are going to buy today will be with you for the next 3-4 years at least, so I would ask you to push the budget if possible. Considering all this, I would suggest you to buy DJI Mini 4 Pro.
This was very informative. thanks for that
I have one question though. Can i take my dji mini drone (
Thank you so much for the appreciation 😊.
Whether you can take a drone to a foreign country depends on the Drone Rules of that country. At Indian airports, I think there is no option or requirement or declaration that you are carrying a drone or not. There may be though, I am not fully aware. So if you have a UIN then there should not be any problem. As UIN means that DGCA knows about your drone.
Hi Gaurav. Where can I but the DJI goggles and remote for my Mini 4 pro, the kind that youre wearing in the video?
Goggles and remote are for FPVs. If you have lost your existing remote of Mini 4 Pro, then you can visit some store of its purchase.
I just wanted to know where you got them from. Anyways, I got that info. Thanks anyway.
@@rajivkotwal 👍🏻
Thank you very much for your information. What is the rules for foreign tourist, they can use nano drone in green zone?
Thank you so much. Since even Nano Drones need to be registered and foreigners cannot register their drones in India, foreigners cannot fly their drones in India. Despite this, many foreigners have been able to fly their drones. So you can try your luck too. There are high chances of success!!!
Hi, great video
How to pass the drone through check-in at airport if we are travelling to another country or state
You can check with the drone guidelines of the country that you are visiting. If that is good to go, there should not be any problem from India side as long as you have UIN
Hi man. Great video.
Question: can I bring my personal drone from Europe in my checked in bag? Or that is considered “lmport”?
Kind regards
We might not be considered as import but you won't be allowed even otherwise as foreigners cannot register drones in India (system is designed in such a way), hence cannot fly in India, hence cannot bring drone to India. I am sorry that Indian Drone Guidelines are so primitive. But that is the case now.
Thanks for the detailed video. If I got you right, I cannot carry my existing drone from the USA when visiting India for a vacation. I have a mini 4 pro, nano drone
Legally you cannot. But practically, you might. Many people have. Having a UIN would be great and bring it in an open box used type style.
Thanks for the video. I have 1 question : With a nano drone what maximum height in a green zone?
120 m
Hi Gaurav
Is there a way to get a DJI Mini SE 2 from US? As the imported djis in India being sold by dealers and ecommerce are 2.5-3 times expensive
Not as per rules, but you can try to bring it in an open box used type style. And having a UIN would make the case more genuine. Just like people bring iphones sometimes.
Question As a hobbyist if I assemble my own drone in 250-2000gm category, do I have to get UIN for the drone? and can I sell those parts like flight controller, motor etc as a reseller?
So if you assemble a drone, not only you need to get a UIN, but you need to get a type certificate too. A Type certificate is meant for basically the fitness of your drone. That is, if it is fit to fly. So as you can see, the drones that these big companies and start-ups make, they all need to certify their drones.
As far as reselling the parts is concerned, as per rules, any transfer of registered drone/ part is to be informed to DGCA.
This is all as per rules.
You have quality content bro but still your channel is underrated
You will grow to top soon 🎉❤
Thank you so much!!! 😊🤞🏻
Drones ka also not allowed on ASI sites
I am planning to buy a mini 4 pro with battery plus combo, will it become a micro category drone with plus batteries? Also, can you suggest the sites from where I buy drone in India?
Yes, with Battery plus it will become a Micro Category drone. I think drones are not available on Amazon, Flipkart anymore, you can check them though. I purchased other from offline store in Delhi.
thanks
Can i fly my drone in wild life sanctuary..like jim corbet nd all?
I think not. If you check the map on the digital Sky map, there is a huge area which is marked red. You may cross check the exact location of the flight.
Hey Gaurav!
I've just purchased the DJI mini 2 SE and as it's under the Nano category I see that it is advisable to fly till 50 feet only. Is it possible that if I get a UIN from digisky I'll be able to fly it higher than 50 feet?
No, it won't be possible. Altitude restrictions to be followed despite having a UIN or not. UIN is like a number plate which doesn't mean we can drive beyond the speed limit. 😃
Hey! Do I still need to apply for UIN if I'm bringing my drone from the UK? If so, do I use Digital Sky? Thanks!
All drones that fly in India need to have UIN, just like registration numbers of cars. Being a foreigner you cannot register your drone as creating an account on the Digital Sky platform requires an Indian Passport. So there is no legal way to fly drones in India for foreigners. Even then, many people have been successful in bringing and flying drones in India. You may try your luck too.
Hi Gaurav, enjoyed your informative video! While checking the comments, I found that purchasing a drone from a foreign country and registering it (obtaining a UIN) before returning to India could be beneficial. My query is, does the UIN registration include a specific date, and what documentation is provided after the registration process?
I'm considering buying the DJI Mini 4 Pro during my visit to Thailand.
Thank you so much for the appreciation 😊.
Yes, registering could make the case (stating that it is a used drone, not a new one) more genuine. UIN is an alphanumeric serial connected with Drone's serial number. Also it has a date of issue, Drone type and Drone category.
There is no documentation. It just displayed on your profile in the Digital Sky platform.
Great video🎉🎉, really informative. Can I carry my personal DJI mini 4 pro(249g) from China to India(I am based in China), provided the drone is for personal use? Do I need to get the UIN Before I leave China? Do I need to declare it?. Thanks
Thank you so much for your appreciation ☺️. If it is possible for you to get UIN then it is better to get it. Proving that it is for personal use and you are going to take it back is impossible and that leads to doubt. But many people have been successful in bringing the Drone to India. So you may try your luck too. There are around 80% chances that you will get through.
If I bring DJI mini 3 pro without box in my checkin bag from USA, can there be customs issue..? And do i need registration on UIN for dji 3 mini ..?
UIN is a must for all drones. Importing is technically illegal but many people have brought it.
hi gaurav! i am planning to buy a drone from abroad and bringing it back to india for personal use. Will there be any issue in customs if I register in the digital sky website to get a UIN while still being abroad. Also do i need a GST receipt to register a drone? drone in question is a dji air 3.
GST bill is not required for registration. As such, importing is not allowed and what you will be doing is basically that. But practically, many people have been able to bring a drone from abroad. So you may try too. Having a UIN may add to your argument that you bought it in India, it is registered and all. Try to bring it in an open box used type style. And you can even say that you owned it in India. These are not guaranteed measures but they may help.
All the best!
Happy that I saw your video. I am a bit relieved now. I live abroad and I own a DJI mini 3. I want to know that if I go to India and if I want to take it along, will there be any duty that I will have to pay at the airport and if I will have to get it registered. It's a less that 249 gram drone. Thanks
Thanks, good to know that my video helped. You can try to bring the drone in an open box/used type style. Get it registered as it is not mentioned that Nano drones are exempted from registration. So having a UIN is better.
If I buy a dji mini and add the extended battery pack does it make the drone enter the micro category?
Yes if it makes the overall drone weight > 250 gms.
Hello, I plan to travel to India next month from Vietnam. Bringing my MiniPro4 is prohibited?
To fly a drone in India, it must be registered on Digital Sky website. Being a foreigner, you cannot create your ID on digital sky and therefore cannot register your drone. But many foreigners have been able to bring it to India and even fly without registration. You may try your luck too.
Hey, Thank you for such a nice video. One thing I am confused about, as a foreigner can I fly a drone that is less then 250 gram?
Thank you so much for appreciation 😊.
Drone must be registered to be eligible for flying in India. But as a foreigner, you cannot register your drone. So legally you cannot fly in India.
However many foreigners have been able to fly their unregistered drone in India, so you may try your luck too.
Bro
We can import only batteries and charging hub from usa to india.
And which place is safe keeping batteries in bag.
Yes, I think there should not be any issue in bringing the batteries and charging hub. Batteries are to be kept in hand baggage.
What about bringing a DJI mini 3 from Canada through one of our relative, Do they need any type of document? and how should they carry it.... Handbag or Luggage?
Importing is not allowed. So doing that would be illegal. But many people have been successful in bringing it from foreign. To make the chances of bringing it India more strong, you may get a UIN and try to bring it in open box style / used drone.
Batteries are to be kept in hand baggage and drone to kept in check in luggage. Please ask your airline for exact configuration.
Do we need to get UIN no for Nano Category drone too. I have DJI min 2SE
It is nowhere mentioned in the Rules that Nano Category is exempted from registration. So it is better to have a UIN.
Hi if my drones maximum height limit is 15 meter and I chose to fly done from a mountain top and fly over the valley which is deeper , then will it looses it's altitude and fall into the valley if valley is deeper than 15 meter. I was Not able dare to find out myself and need some professional to clear my this doubt please help
No, the altitude won't drop as the DJI system measures all altitudes relative to the takeoff point.
So for drone in micro category, which is the type 250g to 2kg
For hobby purposes you just need to register it in Digi sky portal and create UNI right
And if we need to use for commercial purpose then and only then we need to have remote pilot license
So for hobby purposes I can buy a drone like in micro category na ?
And fly in green zone as per the map given by officials
Exactly! 💯
Hello Gaurav .. Hope you are doing well. I have a question, i have asked one of my friend in USA to bring drone to india and it is nano drone. Its just drone, Rc not combo plus. If we register it on DGCA, would there be still problem through custom clearence on Delhi Airport. Please reply as my friend has flight on 10th Nov or share some link for latest custom rules, i tried to find but dint.
Importing drones is not allowed. But if you have a UIN and you bring it in an open box style (as if it is a used drone), you should be able to get through. If your friend is Indian, he/she can say that it is personal/used etc. There is no exact way, but you can try these and hope for the best!
@@logontogaurav thanks!
Sir I have recently bought a DJI mini3 pro .. need your advice in regards to which micro SD card should I buy for my drone and is it mandatory to buy a micro sd card for the remote controller as well, if yes which one should I buy. Capacity, brand, and speed and other important specs, kindly help me please!
You should buy UHS-I, V30/U3 Card. San Disk Extreme is one such card. Card for remote control is optional.
@@logontogaurav thank you so much for your advice. I value your advice
Do i need pilot license for dji avata non-commercial purposes? Is there anything required more than UIN?
Only UIN will be enough. Pilot Licence is not required.
I have my Survey Agency that basically deals in land surveying. Nowadays we are asked to perform aerial survey. We need your kind suggestion what to buy, where to buy and everything else.
By the way I am interested in DJI M300 and zenmuse L1
Thank you for asking. But honestly, I haven't dealt with drones other than involved in filming. So I won't be able to help you. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Can dji mavic 3 pro need license but Google says you have to need to fly mavic 3 pro
Licence is required only when you are flying it for commercial purposes. Otherwise you don't need a licence. That is what the rules say. Don't know from where Google got that information.
Hi Gaurav, I live in Czech Republic. Can I buy DJI mavic 3 and bring it to India? What documentations do I need?
Legally, you cannot import drones in India. But if you are an Indian citizen, then you can register the drone and bring it in open box used type style.
That will make the case more genuine.
Hello! Thank you for sharing!
Could you please advise if these information apply to foreigners as well?
I am from Europe, can I take my drone to India? Can I register to get UIN number beforehand?
It's 249g DJI mini 3 pro. In this case do I only need to get UIN number and I'm good to fly?
Thank you in advance!
To get a UIN, you have to register on the Digital Sky platform. And unfortunately, it requires Indian IDs like Aadhaar Card and Passport. So a foreigner cannot register and hence cannot obtain a UIN. However many people/foreigners have been able to bring it to India. So you may try your luck too.
And if you are successful in bringing it to India, being a Nano Drone, you do not require any further permission as long as you are flying in the Green Zone. You can check the zone in Map available on the Digital Sky website.
is there any limitation to fly upto certain limit of range vertically??
Yes, Green Zone is up to 120 m. Beyond this permission is required.
What is the 50ft limit for nano drones. Can you explain on that
Haven't heard of that. The green zone is up to 120 meters and it applies to all drone categories.
Let's say someone bought a drone in thailand and thinking of bringing it inside india the drone is undr 250g then what he have to do for that .... could you tell me that ?
Importing is not allowed as such. However, one can try to bring it in an open box used type style saying that they already owned it. Having a UIN would make the case more genuine.
All the best and let me know if you become successful in bringing the drone.
Hi, I have a DJI Air 3 drone, 750gm, micro category. After obtaining UIN can I fly it in green zones of Andaman Nicobar islands ?
Can you please shed some light on this matter
Yes, if it is a green zone, then you can fly. But remember, there are many Forest Reserves in Andaman. So there might be local restrictions that you must be aware of.
Thanks for the video. How do you fly in India after the registration? I see that there is a flight plan request but do you have to always do that on the DGCA website.
Just fly! Flight plan request and approval is not that much in vogue as long as you are flying in Green Zone.
@@logontogaurav thanks for replying so quickly. How do you determine green zone. In large cities like Mumbai and Delhi the whole city shows red. Do you look at the DGCA website or drone assist app etc.
@@kstotlani Happy to help ☺️! Yes we have to check the DGCA map on Digital Sky website, that is the authentic source. And yes, you are right again that Metro Cities are almost completely in Red Zone and that makes sense too considering Airport, Military Areas, Oil Installations, Power Plants, Govt Offices etc in these cities. And that is really a pain in the a** for residents of such cities to go out quite far to find a green zone. You may find a little patch of green zone here and there in such cities to test fly your drone, but for a proper flight, legally you have to venture out far.
Fantastic and spot on information! I have been scanning the Drone rule and the digisky website for 2 days now but you summed up everything
really well. I have a different question though: I am certified UAS pilot in UK (CAA, United Kingdom) and have proper licence is there any mention on the Indian drone rule for such people like people who are visitor to India and bring their drone, do they need to register and get UIN ?
P.S : Btw the digisky is not working and throws error everytime I try to add my Mavic 3 pro to get UIN, if anyone reading this knows any trick or tip please let me know I really appriciate that.
Thanks again, great work and I am subscribed 👍
Thank you so much for the appreciation!!! 😊
It is great that you are a certified pilot but as far as my understanding flying your own drone with a UIN would still be a problem. The Indian government wants every drone flying in its Air Space to be known to them. So even being a Pilot won't help. The question of whether to be a Pilot or not comes into picture when it is a matter of Drone Class i.e. Nano, Micro etc.
If you can get a UIN, that would be best. And yes, the Digital Sky website sometimes creates issues. I too was unable to login a couple of days ago. But keep on trying, it will work.
Thanks for your support !!!
@@logontogaurav Thanks for writing back, I agree I have to get the UIN at the least as I will be flying as a hobby. I have manage to get my UIN by following this fella on youtube if in case anyone looking for atlernative way, I don't know how valid this approach is but because my drone model was not listed this approach suits the best and worked for me.
Thanks again and all the very
best for your future videos 👍
@@logontogaurav I don’t have passport. But i want to register my DJI MINI 2 se . So what can i do for UIN ??? Plzz reply
@@sumanguchait7626 I think passport details are mandatory for creating account on Digital Sky. You can register on someone else's name if possible. At this point, having a UIN is more important.
hi how can we travel with our dji mini 4 pro from india to other countries
That depends on the rules of destination country. No restrictions from Indian Drone Rules.
How to import my DJI mavic 3 classic from America to India. What are the documents that I need to carry with me.
Importing is not allowed. So you cannot legally import. But you can manage to get it in by bringing it as a used/ open box style. Also getting a UIN beforehand will make the "used drone" case more genuine.
Bro can i get mavic 3 from abroad with help of my friend as his personal drone amd register here
Or will i face problem with customs for micro drones
Legally, one cannot import drones and it could be confiscated at the airport. However, I bet many people might have done it. As you will be declaring the drone to be your friend's ( who is not Indian), then I think it will be ok. But if friend is also Indian, the same rules apply to him/her. Honestly, I am not aware of the nuances of doing that, it may or may not pass. Please confirm with others too who have done such a thing.
@@logontogaurav thank you bro😊
How far and how high dji mini can fly ? i mean how far from the remote controller.
Height depends on the zone in which you are flying, typically 500m. As far as distance is concerned, they say it can go as far as 18 km. But practically, I have flown a drone as far as 1.5 kms.
I'm thinking to buy Dji Air 3 That is not in the nano category, So for that will i need a license to fly that in the green zone?
If you are flying for commercial purposes, then you need to have a remote pilot certificate. Otherwise you don't need a certificate.
Sir can you plzz make dedicated video on how to take permission for take off in a particular zone
Permission is required in Yellow and Red Zones. I never flew in these zones. So I don't have any idea about how to take permission to fly in these zones.
Hi, could you please recommend a DGCA-approved drone pilot training institution that offers pilot license at the most affordable price?
I have been to only one training institute, that was Droneverse in Gurgaon. But the best one depends on your location, cost of staying and travelling. You can find the entire list of Institutes on the Digital Sky website.
hello brother very nice and informative video really appreciate your content. i have recently brought dji mini 4 pro which is a nano drone, do i still need to reunite and get the uin?

Hi, thankyou for sharing the best information, you have cleared many doubts of me about drone .
Please tell me about the jobs in the drone sector in india, I have not done a training course till now I am waiting for the jobs to come out , so please tell me what will be the right time to do it by considering it with jobs in government sector also
I think drones are going to be a private players thing only by looking at the way all government organisations giving jobs on contracts. Drones are used in agriculture, surveys etc. which government gets done using private contracts. You can do a course and get in contact with the industry/companies that are into the field of providing these services.
Hi Gaurav, I am not able to register on Digital sky website. After the final step when I click on Create account a small msg appears on the bottom saying undefined in red colour. I have tried my friends have tried but their credentials. But no success. I wrote to customer helpline. They replied working on the issue . Do you have any suggestions?
A lot of people are facing this issue. To continue with your work, take a screenshot of the error and you already have their reply. Produce it when someone asks about UIN.
Can my friend bring a DJI drone for me from USA, of course batteries will be removed and put it in carry bag and drone alone will be in checkin, what do you suggest
Importing is illegal. But to be on safer side, get its UIN and try to bring it as a used/personal drone. Many people have brought it that way! All the best.

In digital sky app showing green zone😢
Yes, that's an issue. It is very subjective. I would recommend flying away from the police station.
Does Even Mini 3 Pro required UNI ? or All Nano drones are exempted ?
It is not mentioned in Drone Rules that Nano drones or in fact any drone is exempted from registration. So it is better to have a UIN for every type of drone. You can refer to my other video if you are facing any problem in drone registration.

What If you want to resell the same drone to someone? Then what about the registration done ?
@@smvlogs1384 UIN has to be transferred too. There is a process for that in the Digital Sky platform.
Thank you for the info, i have some questions that would be very appreciated for your comment.
1.- What about a foreigner traveling to india do the same rules apply? im going there next year and i want to fly my drone to make recreational youtube content.
2.-I currently have a dji air 2s, do a samller drone like the mini 3 (less than 250g) would have any advantage?
3.- i read that foreigners cannot fly at all, is this true? or do i need some sort of permission or something?
I have a lot of experience flying here in mexico and never had any problems with police or anything, here is basically fly with caution and no one will bother you, even if you dont have any sort of permission. but of course as tourist im worried it will not be the same, what do you think? or should i just fly the drone with caution and take my chances that no one will notice?
Great content and very beautiful country you have! thanks
1. The present drone registration process doesn't allow foreigners to register their drone. And drone registration is must before flying. Hence, foreigner cannot fly drone in India. You may consider, hiring a drone here in India.
2. Smaller drones won't bring any advantage as registration of Nano Drone (
i am going to Dubai in few months and i want buy dji avata my first drone will i have any problems at airport custom and how to carry
Legally, importing drones is not allowed. You can register your drone as soon as you buy from Dubai and perhaps try to bring it as a used drone. Not sure about this method though.
Hello Gaurav, Very informative Video ? Can I ask you a query here ? I have my Holystone drone registered in Germany, can I bring it to India ? So my concern is that the registration number will be Germany's, hence will there be any issue in immigration.
Thank you so much for the appreciation 😊. I can sense a few problems in your case. First one, is Holystone drone is type certified in India? Means, do DGCA consider Holystone as a drone fir to fly in India? Second one can be a problem or the solution to the first one, which is, are you Indian. If yes, get/check Holystone is type certified or not, otherwise apply for type certification and register your drone in Digital Sky. But if you are not Indian, then unfortunately, you cannot fly the drone in India, legally.
what is the altitude lock of dji mini 3 pro brother . im planning to get one
500 meters
@@logontogaurav sorry , forgot to mention india! . i heard that it can only fly 120 metres.
@@danish12351 Yes, in green zone the altitude is up to 120 meters.
I have a DJI mini 3 pro. Should be Nano category. I intend to use it for some professional video shoots at events. Do I need licence?
If you are considering your event shooting as a profession, meaning you charge the party, generate invoices, pay taxes and all, then you should have a Remote pilot certificate. And if you don't consider it as a profession, you should 😃. This is all legally speaking.
PS :- Nano Category drones do not require RPC.
Can we carry dji mini 2 se drone in international flight? Actually i am planning to visit bali from mumbai
Yes, you can. Just have a UIN. Also, it depends on the drone rules of the destination country.
Dji mini 2 se will require UIN to clear customs in airport ?
Are you importing? Importing is not allowed. However if someone is bringing it, then show it as a used drone and then having a UIN would make it more genuine.
I bough a dji mini 3 pro from an offline store who didn’t gave me a bill or warranty. How do I register?
A bill is not required for registration.
So what do u suggest ? Is there a way ? I mean i m surely buying drone for myself to shoot a lil . But i m all confused how to bring my drone with me to india and than take it back with me . Can you please help me with this ?
I can understand your motive but you must be aware of how law works. People have, in fact, brought the new drone in India. You can attempt to bring too. I have never done this so cannot say with confidence, but the chances that you will succeed are more than 50% (based on the number of people succeeded in my opinion).
Thank you for providing us that much educational videos. Keep it up.
I have obtained RPC but if we want to fly micro category drone in red zone what is the procedure to seek permission from central govt.
It will be appreciated if you could help.
Which Central Government authority to approach to fly in Red Zone is not specified in the Rules. So you can try to contact local police and act as they guide you.
Thank you for the appreciation 😊.
@@logontogaurav Thank you for helping me.😀
Thanks for the information. Kindly let know where could I find this law, as if cop will ask me for the same.
You can find the Drone Rules on Digital Sky website, at the bottom of the site.
What is the vertical height restriction in India ?
Till 120 m is Green Zone.
Hi, I read somewhere that if drone weighs
As far as I know, flight altitude depends on the zone in which you are flying rather than what you are flying. So in the green zone, the altitude limit is 120 m.
@@logontogaurav Searched on Google.
What is the height limit for nano drones in India?
Nano unmanned aircraft system: weighing less than or equal to 250 grams (no permits required); You are required to ensure that you do not fly any nano drone beyond 50 ft (15m) Above Ground Level (AGL).
Drone Laws in India [Updated November 19, 2023]
Hi I’m from Malaysia and will be travelling to India, I have a DJI mini 4 pro which is for personal use and will be bringing it along with me for my travels. It falls under the micro category weights slightly more than 250g ( with intelligent flight battery) I have a few questions
1) will I be able to bring my drone in to India to fly ?
2) do I still need to register and get the UIN to fly the drone
Please do advice. Thank you so much 🙏
Though your intent is to take it back, the govt cannot trust your intent. So legally speaking, you cannot bring your drone in India. However, you can fly a drone in India. But practically speaking, people have successfully brought the drones.
All drones should have UIN.
Hi I am a Indian citizen in Canada. I have DJI air 3 as my personal drone. So if I keep while traveling to India then am I allowed to use with UIN registration?
Importing of Drones in India is not allowed. You have very high chances that you will be able to bring it and fly in India. But let me clarify, as Importing is banned, you cannot bring it to India, in very strict terms. But many people have, so will you.
Hi
I want a dji mini 2 se
I live in Bangalore
Can u help finding a official store
As I can't find in Amazon
I know a few stores in Delhi. You can Google search DJI and it may show you some Stores nearby.
Most satisfying video you answered my all doubts..single smallest thing u explained..🎉 thank u..
One thing I want to know .I have mavic mini 1 but can't fly more than 15 meter high but as I seen mavic mini 2 can fly up to 120 meter altitude.. can u tell me what to do for fly more than 15 meter restriction ?? Why this restriction for only mavic mini 1 ? Why not for other mini series???
Thank you so much for your appreciation 😊.
I don't know particularly about Mini 1, but the initial setting of Max altitude is 15m in every drone. In fact, in every flight, the max altitude resets to 15 m in my Mini 3. I have to increase it to whatever I want (say 500m) every time during the flight. So I think same setting should be there in Mini 1. You can access this setting by clicking 3 dots ( or burger button) in the top right of the controller screen.
@@logontogaurav there is not any setting for increasing that is lock in 15 meter only..anyway thanks lots for reply sir
@@deysbro ok, refer this image link. It is generally there.

I’ve been trying to register an account in digital sky but somehow I cannot finish with the process and there is some existing bug which is annoying
I can understand. Keep on trying. You may try to do it in a different browser.
Hi buddy - Video was very much informative 👏🏻
1 quick question I have mini 3 drone registered with dgci, now I am travelling to Kashmir (Srinagar etc) can you tell me how to get permission to fly drone their
Thank you so much for the appreciation 😊.
Nano drones do not require permission. Just look for the Green Zones on the Digital Sky platform's interactive map. Also watch out for prohibited areas like Military areas, airports etc.
Hi m planning to buy Air 3 from Dubai is it allowed? If not allowed then what’s the procedure to bring it to India ?
As per rules importing is not allowed. But many have successfully in bring the drone to India. So you may try your luck too. Also, having a UIN before reaching to India will be better.
Hii. Can you please guide me on the process of getting a permission for flying in a yellow zone ?
Yellow zone is basically everywhere above the height of 120m. And for flying at that height, you have to take permission from the Air Traffic Controller of that area. Honestly, I haven't approached ATC for that till now so cannot tell you any more than this. But if you do, please share your experience with us!
Hi,
1. Can I bring drone from dubai to India ?
2. Suppose if the first question answer is no then Can I carry my drone which I’ve purchased from India to Dubai and then dubai to India when I fly back won’t they consider it as imported ?
Like suppose today I purchase Dji drone from India then I fly to Dubai so now when I come back to India won’t the airport authorities consider the drone which are bought from India as an imported one
If you buy a drone from India, you can show the bill as proof that you have paid custom duty (inclusive in MRP) and GST. So buying in India and then going in and out will not be a problem.
You can try bringing it from Dubai, as many people have, in an open box/ used type style. But if you can buy from India, that would be best. Also, getting a UIN in both the cases is better.
Iam looking to purchase dji mini 4 pro . Is it license required for it ?
It is a Nano category drone. So no licence is required.
