Corrections especially welcome. Here is what we can help with and what we cannot.

The short answer
Contact DroneGearSetup.com by email at [email protected] for corrections, questions and business enquiries. Corrections to regulatory pages are treated as urgent. We cannot assess whether a specific flight is legal, because that depends on your exact location, airspace, altitude, purpose and current temporary restrictions, all of which belong to the FAA and your airspace app.
The fastest way to reach us is the form below, or email directly to [email protected]. Include the page URL if your message is about something on the site, because that alone removes most of the back and forth.
Corrections, which we genuinely want
This site publishes a lot of numbers: weights, thresholds, voltages, bitrates, densities, altitudes and prices. Numbers drift, regulations change and specifications get revised, so some of them will be wrong at any given moment. If you find one, tell us.
A useful correction contains three things: the page URL, the figure you believe is wrong, and where the correct figure comes from. That last part matters more than it sounds, because a great deal of drone information online is copied between sites without a source and we would rather not replace one unsourced number with another.
Regulatory corrections are treated as urgent and go to the front of the queue, because a wrong number on a rules page can cost a reader a penalty rather than a few dollars. Specification and pricing corrections are made as they surface. Every page on the site carries a note inviting exactly this, and it is not decorative.
What we cannot do
Tell you whether your specific flight is legal. This is the request we receive most often and the one we will always decline. Legality depends on your exact location, the airspace class at that point, the altitude, the purpose of the flight, the aircraft, your certification and the current state of temporary restrictions, which change daily. No website can assess that, and anyone who offers to is doing you a disservice. The rules hub explains how each requirement works so you can apply it, and the FAA at faa.gov/uas is the authority on what the requirements currently are.
Give legal, insurance or business advice. The site explains how things generally work. It is not a substitute for a professional who knows your jurisdiction and your situation, and for anything commercially significant you should have one.
Help with anything outside the scope of the site. We do not answer questions about avoiding detection, flying without authorization, defeating manufacturer safety systems, or using a drone to observe people. Those messages are not answered.
Provide product support. We do not sell anything and we cannot help with a warranty claim, a firmware fault or a return. Contact the retailer or the manufacturer, both of whom have obligations to you that we do not.
What we can help with
Something on the site is wrong, unclear or contradicts itself. Always worth telling us. Internal contradictions in particular are useful, because they usually mean one of two pages was updated and the other was not.
A topic the site should cover and does not. If you looked for something here and it was missing, that is real information about what is missing. Several pages exist because somebody said they could not find them.
Business and partnership enquiries. Manufacturers, retailers and publishers can write to the same address. Note that placement on a list is not for sale, so an offer of payment for a position or for a link will be declined. What is genuinely useful to us is access to technical documentation and accurate specifications.
Press and citation enquiries. Journalists and researchers are welcome to cite pages here. If you need to confirm how a figure was derived before citing it, ask and we will tell you which source it came from.
How your message is handled
Messages are read by a person. Email addresses that write to us are used to reply and are not added to any mailing list, sold, or shared with a third party. If you would like the build list by email, use the form above rather than asking, because that is a separate opt-in and it records which page you subscribed from so the list stays honest.
The full account of what data this site collects, which is very little, is on the privacy policy. In short: the site uses analytics to count page views, product links carry affiliate parameters so the retailer knows where a purchase came from, and the email form stores an address and a source label. There are no accounts, no logins and no comment system.
Response times, honestly
This is a small independent publisher rather than a support desk, and replies can take some days. Corrections are read and acted on even when they do not get an individual response, and they are the messages most likely to produce a visible change to the site quickly.
If your question is time-sensitive and concerns whether you can legally fly, do not wait for us. Check the FAA and your airspace app, and if the answer is unclear, do not fly. That is the correct default in every ambiguous case and it has never once been the wrong call.
The one thing we will always say
A surprising share of the messages that reach us are versions of the same question: someone wants permission. They have a flight in mind, they suspect it might not be allowed, and they are looking for a website to tell them it is fine.
We will never be that website, and it is worth explaining why rather than simply declining. The remote pilot in command is responsible for the flight, and that responsibility is not transferable to an app, a manufacturer's geofence, a forum, or us. If a flight is ambiguous, the correct default is not to fly it, and that default has never once been the wrong call. Nothing on this site, and no reply from us, changes who answers for the outcome.
How to write a message that gets a useful answer
Include the page URL. This site has well over a hundred pages and a message saying "the weight figure on your site is wrong" costs a round trip to identify which one. A URL turns a two-message exchange into a one-message fix.
Say what you fly and why. Almost every gear question has a different answer depending on whether the aircraft crosses 250 g and whether any of the flying is for a business. Those two facts, in one sentence, remove most of the ambiguity from a question about what to buy.
Name the country. The rules pages here are United States federal regulation. Weight thresholds, registration and certification differ across the European Union, the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia and Japan, and a question that assumes American rules gets an answer that may not apply where you are.
Include the source, if you have one. For corrections particularly. A great deal of drone information circulates online without a source, and we would rather not replace one unsourced figure with another.
Do not send anything confidential. Email is not a secure channel and we have no facility for handling sensitive material. Nothing this site can help with requires it.
Most questions are already answered
Before writing, it is worth a look at these four, because between them they cover the large majority of what we are asked.
FAA rules in plain language
Most questions we receive about legality are answered here, in the order the requirements come up.
Open →The complete builds
Most questions about what to buy are answered by a complete kit with a stated total rather than by a single recommendation.
Open →Thirteen calculators
Most questions that start "how long will it fly" or "what filter do I need" are a calculator rather than an email.
Open →Reference charts
Lookup tables for voltages, weights, densities, bitrates and airspace symbols.
Open →More about who publishes this site, how the research is done and how it is funded is on the about page, and the affiliate relationship is set out in full on the affiliate disclosure.
Questions people ask
+ How do I report an error on a page?
Email the address on this page with the page URL and, if you can, the source that shows the correct figure. Errors on regulatory pages are treated as urgent because a wrong number there can cost a reader far more than a wrong price does. Specification and pricing corrections are made as they surface.
+ Will you tell me whether my specific flight is legal?
No, and please do not rely on anyone who says otherwise. Legality depends on your exact location, altitude, airspace, purpose, aircraft and the current state of temporary restrictions, none of which a website can assess for you. The FAA and your airspace app are the authority, and for a commercially significant question, take professional advice.
+ Do you accept sponsored posts or paid placements?
No. No position on a list is for sale, no manufacturer has editorial input, and nothing on this site is sponsored content. If that ever changes it will be disclosed on the page itself in the same size type as the rest of the text, not in a footer.
+ Can you recommend a drone for my situation?
The build guides are that recommendation, written to cover the common situations properly rather than answering each one individually. If your case genuinely does not fit any of the five builds, tell us what makes it different, because a case the site does not cover is useful information for us regardless of whether we can answer it quickly.
+ How quickly do you reply?
This is a small independent publisher, not a support desk, so a reply may take some days. Corrections are read and acted on even where they do not get an individual response, and error reports are the messages most likely to produce a fast change to the site.
