Cameras & drones basics

Do I need to register a drone in the UK?

If your drone weighs 100 g or more and has a camera, the CAA requires a Flyer ID and an Operator ID, even under 250 g. Our drone guide gives the rules for each pick.

Mirrorless or compact?

A mirrorless camera takes interchangeable lenses and has a bigger sensor. A compact or pocket camera is smaller and simpler, with a fixed lens.
