Read the full description
Novina is a small, foldable camera drone for anyone taking their early steps in flying. You pilot it with a controller, and the camera image reaches your phone through an app, so you see live what is in front of it. It is a leisure gadget for practising in open spaces, not a drone for cinema-grade filming.
A drone for beginners that helps you keep control
For someone who has never flown, the hardest part is keeping the aircraft still in the air. Novina takes off and lands at the press of a button and holds its height by itself when you let go of the stick, so you can concentrate on turning and moving forward. A low-speed mode makes your early outings calmer and means mistakes have smaller consequences.
A foldable camera drone that fits in your backpack
The arms fold against the body and the drone ends up the size of a pencil case. With the controller, batteries and cables it fits in the bag provided, which in turn goes into a hiking backpack. The folded and unfolded dimensions, and the weight, are listed in the specifications table.
A mini camera drone: aerial photos and video on your phone
Your phone sits in the holder on the controller and connects to the drone over wifi. In the app you see the live image, take photos and record video of an empty beach, a field or your own house seen from above. The camera resolution is in the specifications table: it is a leisure camera, and in wind or low light the image loses quality.
How to use it
Charge and check
Charge the drone and controller batteries, unfold the arms and check that the propellers are fitted properly and undamaged.
Choose the spot carefully
Check on the ENAIRE zone map whether flying is allowed there, and look for an open space with no people, trees or cables.
Connect and take off
Switch on the drone and the controller, connect your phone to the app and press the take-off button.
Fly within sight
Always keep the drone in view, with low speed to begin with and well away from people and animals.
Land with time to spare
Bring it back before the battery runs out, land with the button and switch off the drone before the controller.
Care and maintenance
After each outing, clear grass or sand from the motors and check the propellers: a bent or chipped propeller should be swapped for a spare. Let the batteries cool before recharging them, do not charge them unattended and store them half charged if you will not fly for weeks. Do not fly in rain or strong wind.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to register with AESA to fly a camera drone?
It depends on the model, its weight and its class, and the rules change over time. As a general rule, anyone flying a camera drone in Spanish airspace must register as an operator with AESA, even if the drone is small. Check the AESA website before flying; this model's weight and class are in the specifications table.
Where can I fly a drone?
Not just anywhere. There are restricted areas near airports, in many protected natural areas and in built-up areas, and you may not fly over groups of people. Before each outing, check the ENAIRE zone map and the AESA conditions, and always fly with the drone in sight and at a low height.
Is it a good drone for beginners?
That is what it is made for: it takes off and lands with one button, holds its height by itself and has a low-speed mode. Even so, it is best to practise in a wide space without wind, at a low height and away from people, until steering feels natural. The spare propellers help with the knocks of learning.
How long does it fly on each battery?
The approximate flight time per battery is in the specifications table and is measured in ideal conditions. In wind, in the cold or with abrupt piloting it lasts less. With a charged spare battery you can swap out the flat one and keep flying. Bring it back before the battery runs out so you can land calmly.
What should I keep in mind when filming with a drone?
Images showing people, homes or number plates are personal data. Do not film anyone without their permission, do not fly over other people's yards, terraces or pools, and do not publish images in which other people can be recognised without their consent. Film landscapes, your own home or people who know you are filming them.
Can I fly the drone indoors?
In a large, clear room you can practise taking off and landing, but the drone needs space and indoors it is easy to hit walls, lamps or furniture. Move fragile objects out of the way, keep children and pets out of the room and fly at low speed. For learning properly, an open space is better.
