Once you've registered the drone with your region's civil aviation authority, all you'll need to do is grab a well-informed spotter to come on your trip, and follow all the usual laws on flying factors like altitude. In short then, the DJI FPV is a slightly more complex proposition than standard drones when it comes to drone laws, but not prohibitively so.

Don't fly higher than 120m above ground.All drones with a camera need an Operator ID, regardless of weight.For more information on US drone laws, head to the FAA's site.Never interfere with emergency response activities.Never fly over any person or moving vehicle.Give way to and do not interfere with manned aircraft.Do not fly at night unless your drone has the required lighting.Don't fly higher than 400ft above ground.Keep your drone in visual line of sight at all times.

If you’re flying an FPV drone in a controlled environment indoors, or within a closed netted structure, where uninvolved people are excluded and the drone cannot escape, an observer isn't required. You don't need any special qualifications to be an observer, but you must be briefed on what you need to do, and communicate with the pilot to make them aware of any potential risks, so that the pilot can respond accordingly. Remember, this means the observer can't use a screen or binoculars to watch the drone, as the line of sight must be 'unaided'. This observer must keep the drone within unaided visual line of sight (VLOS) at all times and must be standing next to the drone pilot. In both countries, when using an FPV drone or FPV goggles, a drone pilot must be assisted by an observer to help them keep the drone away from obstacles and other aircraft.

The rules regarding the use of an observer in the UK and US are practically identical – it’s the exact wording of the rules that differs slightly. The use of FPV drones and goggles is legal in both the United Kingdom and the United States, but to fly an FPV drone you’ll need an observer who can maintain visual line of sight with the aircraft and communicate this with the pilot. This presents an immediate problem for FPV drones and their goggles, because the drone pilot is viewing the live camera feed and therefore cannot maintain VLOS. This means that you must be able to see your drone in the sky at all times within these parameters, without the use of binoculars or any other visual device. When flying any drone, it’s a legal requirement in most regions that you fly no higher than 120m/400ft or a distance of 500m/1640ft, and that the aircraft must remain within unaided visual line of sight (VLOS).
