Drone DJI Neo 2

One of my objectives is to expand my photographic skills and in particular taking pictures from a different angle. How would a sunset or sunrise look like from an angle way above ground level? For this reason I bought a drone or UAS (Unmanned Aircraft System).





I bought a DJI Neo 2 drone; it's a beginners drone in the Open Class A1 and Cx label type C0.
The camera sensor specs :
    * Sensor: 1/2-inch CMOS
    * Effective Pixels: 12 MP
    * Lens: FOV 119.8°,
    * Aperture, 16.5mm equivalent focus 35mm
    * Video Resolution: 4K/60fps (up to 100fps), 2.7K (9:16)
    * Max Video Bitrate: 80 Mbps
    * ISO Range: 100-12800
    * Stabilization: 2-Axis Mechanical Gimbal + RockSteady EIS
    * Storage: 49 GB Internal





The drone is equipped with a LiDar (Light Deteection and Ranging) sensor which measures distance and detects obstacles.


As the drone is equiped with a camera, the drone is regsitrated. For Belgium no certification is needed but for some other countries it's mandatory eg. Spain. I downloaded the 101 page training and completed succesfully my exam. So I'm a certified A1-A3 UAS Pilot :)
