[QUOTE="Vilco, post: 41975, member: 4957"] With the original prop guards it weighs over 300 grams, and I had to keep it under 300 with prop guards on to be in the "harmless" cathegory as per the italian aviation authority rules (along with a maximum speed of no more than 60 kph). This way I can fly in urban areas without the need for two expensive course + exam s(circa 500-600 each nowadays thanks to the 300g sparks, one year ago they were around 1000 each) and without delimiting the area with barriers or picket lines (figure a guy with a very portable drone and 20 meters of plastic barriers...) and without paying each time 94 eur to said authority: flying in urban areas is a critical mission here in Italy, so if you haven't a harmless drone you need to require authorization circa 45 days prior to the mission and pay 94 eur per each authorisation :( With a harmless one all of this nonsense is no more necessary: no exams, no barriers, just a once in a year 94 fee to the AA and fly by the rules It almost looks like they made this "harmless" cathegory just for working with the Spark, gimme a Spark 4K (or a drone as good as the Spark with a 4K cam) and I could almost quit my current job :) [/QUOTE]
