Remote Control Drones for Everyone
Remote control drones have been one of Menkind’s most popular products for a decade now, exploding onto the scene in 2012. If you have been into one of our stores, you will probably have seen a Menkind staff member flying a drone around the shop.
RC drones can be for every age and we try to cater for everyone, from toy drones for kids to premium camera drones, that require a license. We even have more fun and unusual drones like the RED5 Motion Control UFO.
Drones make great gifts for Christmas or birthdays, but we also find that a lot of customers order for themselves and they are one of our most sought after products throughout the whole year.
Most of our drones are available both online and in-store. You can also click and collect, simply check store stock by clicking the Click & Collect button on the product and typing in your postcode.
Do You Need a Drone Licence in the UK?
You must register before flying some drones in the UK. The requirement to register is if either the drone weighs over 250g and is not a toy, or if it includes a camera. For every drone we sell we specify whether it requires registration or not in the bullet points
If you do need to register, the two requirements are:
- If you are flying the drone, you must pass a theory test to get a flyer ID. This theory test is free to do. Children under 13 also need a flyer ID, but must register with their parent or guardian
- If you are responsible for the drone, you must register for an operator ID
