This week, I want to purchase a Holy Stone HS720E Fly More. I assumed that since the drone weights 495g, I would have to register it. The websites solely discuss drone use for corporate purposes; they don’t discuss drones being used for leisure purposes. I’m not sure if I ought to register with CASA.
Hey everyone! I’m planning to get the Holy Stone HS720E Fly More this week and was wondering about the registration rules since it weighs 495g. From what I’ve looked into, here in Australia, any drone over 250g—whether for recreational or commercial use—needs to be registered with CASA (Civil Aviation Safety Authority). It doesn’t matter if you’re flying just for fun; you’ll still need to register it and follow the basic safety rules, like not flying near people or in restricted areas. I wasn’t sure at first because a lot of sites focus on commercial use, but yeah, it’s definitely worth getting registered to avoid any issues down the line!
Yes, depending on how you want to use it and how much it weighs, you might need to register your drone if you live in Australia. A drone can be registered using the official CASA website. You must renew the registration every year after it expires, as it is only good for a year. It is important to verify the particular guidelines and rules since they may have changed.
