"My info, the stuff I was trained on, cuts off around early 2023." - Gemini 2.5 to me. Appears that they did a not-so-recent knowledge cutoff in order to use the best possible base model.
That’s enough for photographing an entire small city from above. Though in the Netherlands for example the normal limit is 50m.
There is no way you can keep visual contact at this distance, especially for a tiny drone like this, and you’re getting relatively close to air traffic in some places. Europe is quite dense. Makes sense that going further requires a license / flight plan.
