I get the impression this isn't exactly legal in France either.
Regarding the law it's a bit more complicated, owning one isn't a problem (Parrot is selling his stuff without troubles), but as for using it, you need to: - have a direct visual on it - no flight above 50 meters
as for a fly by video: - Must be at least 15 Km between uav and closest airfield - only allowed above unpopulated zone - no flight above 50 meters
