Drone Product Selector
Design an ecommerce journey that helps a new buyer choose a suitable camera drone and understand operating responsibilities.
The brief
Understand the problem
Background
Drone specifications are hard to compare, and suitability depends on intended use, total takeoff weight, weather tolerance, local registration, and where the buyer plans to fly.
User context
Caleb wants a compact drone for travel photography. He is a first-time pilot and needs an honest view of flight time, repair support, and local registration steps.
Product problem
The store needs to guide product choice without implying that buying a drone grants permission to fly it anywhere.
Objective
Create needs assessment, model comparison, compliance review, and cart preparation for a first drone purchase.
What to design

Required experience
- Describe skill level, use, region, budget, and portability needs
- Compare two suitable models on practical specifications
