You should need to produce a license to buy a drone IMO.

I use fishing weights to hold my down

The area I took off from was not part of the park restrictions. Also, you can actually fly in the park but need permission from BC Parks if you do plan to launch from other areas in the park. I use the Drone Pilot Canada app for this info.

What about getting a power pack? Something like this that you could take with you. At least you would get a few charges in. Not recommending this one, just using it as an example...

One thing that no one seems to mention is that DJI has not released an SDK for the MM2. This means no waypoints or third party apps.

I use RTH most, if not all of the time. I am fully confident on flying home without it but I think everyone should be very familiar with how RTH works. It is important to know how it should be setup, how it operates during RTH and knowing how to cancel.

Hello and welcome. You don’t mention where you are from. If you are from Canada you must register your drone and obtain your RPAS Basic Drone Pilot license to fly legally. I will not speak to other countries as I’m only aware of Canadian laws.

Thanks a lot for the info! My Mini is registered as it is over 250 g with my add-ons. It seems like I will be able to use it. I guess I will reach out to the reviewers and see what they say. I plan to reward myself with something on “the list” after I pass so I’m trying to keep costs at a...

Hello everyone, I have not been able to find the answer to this question in any of my resources and hope you can help. When I have my in-person RPAS review do I have to take the test with a drone that is on the TC approved aircraft list or am I able to take the in-person review using my Mini...

Great vid, enjoyed it a lot. I was hoping to do something similar. Where did you take off from? I’ve been looking for a spot to launch. I would like to get some video of the suspension bridge as well. Have you filmed there yet? I’ve been taking advantage of the shutdowns t get footage that...

Here we go! Episode II. Sonny Takes On - The Trees!

Whistler is a fantastic place to visit. The drive there is beautiful as well.

Here is mine. I chose a yellow skin in hopes that it would improve visibility. Didn’t really help. I have reflective tape on the rear of the arms and will get the occasional flash from the sun so that helps a bit.

I’ll answer my own question on this one. I successfully flew a night mission last night with no issues at all. The strobe could been seen at 1/2 mile or more.

I actually use three apps regularly. I use Litchi for basic flying, Maven when I need quick and easy waypoint missions and Dronelink when I do mapping missions. I have a MM and Litchi doesn’t support waypoints yet so that is why I use Maven. Dronelink is pretty complicated when it comes to...
