I have recently ordered a drone camera from CHINA and it was returned back to seller.
I didnt know its ban here...

But i am surprise that seller said, it has been successfully delivered to other customers in Saudi Arabia and i felt, they gave a false information. Anyhow surprise to know that Saudi Arabia didnt publish any news to manufacturer or seller of Drone Camera.

My Question is what about professional filming agencies ? Are they used Helicopters with Cameras ?


They have permission, friend works for one of the media agencies and they had to personally bring it in and get it released from the airport authorities. Another friend of mine brought the drone by itself without the camera and his wife brought the camera few days later. There are ways.

Ye,also using goPros.
Btw what drone are you using? i so wanted to buy but couldn't find here in KSA.
Have you use Gopro stick holder?

This is fine?Thanks for suggestions

It's illegal to use drone in the country without requisite permission. We use it for inspection purposes and have the required ministry/government approval for it.
