Feel better now?

I do not understand why people get so bent out of shape over a drone flying overhead. Yet thousands of people every where are are walking around taking videos with their cell phone and nobody sees that as an invasion of privacy. An iphone 13 has such a powerful zoom that could take a video/pic...

I am also from Ontario. Might be some restrictions that you should check out. There is an Army base in Petawawa and a nuclear reactor mostly doing medical isotopes as well as a airport. It looks like a large area is considered class F airspace because of these restrictions. You would need...

Yes. Over houses I fly at 90 m so I do not disturb anyone.

And yet people are totally comfortable with people walking around their neibourhood with cell phones taking pictures often with zoom lenses. My son in law has an iPhone 13 and can take quite good photos and videos from a couple of blocks away with good definition. This is acceptable yet a drone...

I would just as a precaution go into the menus and recalibrate the gimbal. Very easy to do.

I got my first drone summer of 2020, Mini 1 and since have graduated to the Mini2 this past summer. I am76 with mobility issues and find this a great hobby flying the Mini 2 while sitting in a comfortable camp chair. This summer I got out at least 3 times per week and recorded a few SD cards...

I started flying with a Mavic Mini on my 75th birthday. Recently acquired a Mini2. Great retirement hobby. Lots of fund and then get to edit videos for great relaxation and enjoyment. I live near Toronto Canada so I do lots of flying/videos and then spend my winters when I cannot fly editing...

I fly occassionally with my son in law at his farm. We are maybe 10 metres apart but we always fly at different altitudes and announce when we are coming in for a landing and from what direction.

I have been experiencing the same issue with my Mini 1. Every time I fly it gives me the recalibration warning. What I have found is that if I ignore the warning and do not do a calibration I take off anyway and once at hover level after takeoff I check the calibration and it shows as normal...

I live in the Toronto area and have shipped to the repair facility nearby. They are excellent with good communication and speedy turnaround time.

Excellent video. Great location. Well done.

I live in a highly populated residential area and would not fly over any houses or apartments as people are always suspect of videoing their homes over head. Why I do not know why. Nothing of real interest going on and rather boring. Back yards and swimming pools........yawn! Take your mountain...

Numerous flying tutorials on You Tube. Very helpful.

I just let the drone hover at the auto takeoff level and wait for the voice to tell me HP as been updated.
