Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the difference between racing drones and camera drones?
Racing drones are built for speed, agility and quick response times, often using lightweight frames and manual controls for maximum precision. Camera drones focus on stability, offering features like GPS, gimbals and intelligent flight modes for smooth, cinematic footage. While racing drones require more skill to pilot, camera drones are designed to assist with automated flying. The best choice depends on whether you’re chasing performance or stunning aerial perspectives.
How do drone flight restrictions work in Australia?
Australia’s Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) sets clear rules for recreational drone use. Most hobby drones must stay below 120 metres, within visual line of sight and at least 30 metres from people. Flying near airports, emergency scenes or crowds is prohibited. Many modern drones include built-in geofencing to help pilots stay compliant automatically. Checking CASA’s “Can I Fly There?” app before each flight ensures your session stays safe and legal.
Why do some drones connect to phones while others use controllers?
Smartphone-connected drones use Wi-Fi and dedicated apps for flight control, making them portable and beginner-friendly. Controller-based drones use radio frequencies, offering stronger signals and more precise handling, especially over long distances. Some models combine both options, letting you view live footage on your phone while using a physical controller for accuracy. The choice comes down to your flying style and how much precision or convenience you prefer.
