Do you need insurance cover for your drone?

Why do I need insurance cover for my drone? Insurance is designed to give you peace of mind should something unforeseen happen. It’s relatively well known that accidents can and do happen when operating a drone, even with the most skilled drone operators. Without insurance, you may need to pay for repairs or replacement out of your own pocket, because no matter how careful you are, you can’t control the outcome of an accident, theft or fire.  Is my drone covered under my contents policy? If you’re an AA Insurance customer your drone is covered under your contents policy for...

Mini and Nano Drones – The Smaller The Better

Mini and Nano drones take all of the fun that drones bring and back them into a micro amount of packaging. They’re cute, tons of fun, and come with many surprises. A lot of people overlook these categories of drones, especially nanos, because they’re so tiny, but we’re here to change everyone’s mind! Micro and nano drones are awesome in their own little ways.
