Drone Flying in bad weather

Drones are a popular gadget for capturing breathtaking aerial footage, but can they withstand bad weather conditions? Flying a drone in bad weather can be risky and potentially dangerous. High winds, heavy rain, and low visibility can cause a drone to malfunction or even crash. It is important to check the weather forecast before planning a drone flight and to avoid flying in adverse conditions. While some drones are equipped with advanced technology to handle mild weather, it is generally advisable to avoid flying in bad weather altogether. Not only does it protect the drone from damage, but it also ensures the safety of people and property on the ground. So, it's better to be safe than sorry when it comes to flying drones in bad weather.

If bad weather stops one of our flights, we will do our best to give you as much notice as possible.
