    No need for NAV Canada authorization for EVERY flight

    I've recently retired, so not using my MPP at all these days- insurance and Standing SFOC expired. Looove flying and video content creation, but the red tape was exhausting and exhausting over the 6 years or so of DJI product ownership and use. If I can sell my MPP I'll keep reading user...

    DJI. Flight simulator $1350

    I spent several hours trying to install the free version and could never get past the pretty startup screen, which didn't have any 'start' or 'continue' clickable buttons, nevermind trying to see if the controller would work. Anyone else have that happen?

    The great debate... Clearsky or Tablet

    I opted for the Epson Moverio glasses, and being able to FPV (legally) has been a game changer for me. Have a couple dozen flights with them now and still getting used to them, but I do a lot of ground level or low level trail flying, often in tripod mode showcasing parks and hiking trails...

    EPSON Moverio BT-300 Review

    Got my Moverios yesterday, followed the install and updates, and aside from getting used to a new touchpad, the first short test flight was amazing.

    Mavic Pro Flyaway

    In Canada it may be 'boring' to fly line of sight, but it is legal and illegal is really expensive if caught and only adds to the negative public image of drones. After spending many months and $ for ground school, proper insurance and a 65 page company operations manual that passed Transport...

    Tap fly/ Active Track/ Follow not working now?

    Update to 01.08.03 done and now those modes seem to actually activate. Rainy day of course, so I only flew briefly and did have some sluggish button responses to STOP and return to Normal mode which was a bit disconcerting. Probably good/bad to monitor blood pressure when testing... I'll update...

    Tap fly/ Active Track/ Follow not working now?

    Thanks tcope and mark_t. Not in beginner mode (all modes show on screen as selectable) and tapping on the main screen doesn't select flight path to fly toward or horizon line that's in Tap Fly. Wondered if they'd changed the tap gesture required. Just switched everything on to go through it...

    Tap fly/ Active Track/ Follow not working now?

    Firmware 4.1.0 with Android Tablet After not flying for a few months, I updated to latest firmware and went to safe, open space for some practice and while everything flew fine, when I went to try some of the various assisted flight modes there were some issues. Home lock/course lock and tripod...

    Parachute system for Mavic?

    Thank you for your thoughts. Hard to imagine one for the Mavic, but the Mavic itself was hard to imagine not so long ago!

    Parachute system for Mavic?

    To mitigate risks to people below in case of flight problem during a mission.

    Parachute system for Mavic?

    Risk mitigation for Transport Canada permit to fly over people for a special event. Just an idea, unless there's a cost effective solution.
