    Proper settings for Sport videography?

    if you want more flexibility while editing shoot C4K (4096×2160) @ 24. it'll give you some cropping room and still allow 4k output.

    Rates for Aerial Photography/Videography

    I've been doing it commercially for about 6 months now (in Canada) and my rates will vary depending on the work. If its a wedding for example they will only need me for a short while and it'll be basic maneuvers so i'll charge around $300 and that includes filing a SFOC with transport Canada...

    Canadians SFOC?

    There are 3 types that i'm aware of: Simple (class G airspace and rural surroundings), Complex (controlled air space e.g.: C, and close to or in city limits and around buildings and people) and a standing.

    Online filing of NOTAMs?

    I know in the states they can file online but can we in Canada? Does anyone have the link if there is one? I've having a hard time getting in touch with the people required and when I do since its a drone its not taken seriously basically put on hold while they file other ones.

    is there an active track setting will work?

    Don't have my mavic until tomorrow (fingers crossed) but next weekend i'm helping a friend with a school project. He's doing a film for class and asked for some drone shots to have it stand out. One of the scenes is of a runner so we'll to the profile and follow shots, but is there a way to have...
