    Can i take my drone to canada will there be any issue in the border

    I did a trip to Alberta and British Colombia but most of my route was through national parks where is it very illegal and very costly in fines to fly, so not much use in taking the drone to these province.

    Can i take my drone to canada will there be any issue in the border

    Dumb question but I'll ask it anyway. I have traveled often without registration with US Customs (most recently to Poland). How do I register my Mavic Mini 4 Pro with US Customs before a flight from Miami to Johannesburg, with overnight stay in Qatar? (Zimbabwe safari in September).

    Flying Near Immigrant Detention Center

    Why go looking for trouble? I am a risk averse drone pilot and I cherish even my Mavic mini 4pro let alone my Mavic3. I like freedom from police and lawyers and against fines too much. That footage is not worth risking it all for me. Dale

    Mini 4 Pro Journey into Tibet - Day04: Lhasa - Potala Palace 布达拉宫

    Random comments. Nice film of the Potala Palace. I always look for a puddle or two for reflection shots too. My wife and I were there many, many years ago. It does not seem to have changed. I'm almost certain that if you put a drone up in the air you would be in big trouble. Dale

    Holy Cow! Is that two identical drones? That must be over 8 thousand dollars worth of drones.! I am duly impressed.

    Has it all been worth it?

    I do not regret entering the drone hobby but I really worry that support for damage or loss will go away with the present restrictions on DJI. I think I can understand the security fears of the U.S. government being behind this. Because I am a patriotic citizen, I would err on the side of...

    Enjoyed this very much. Great reveal shots. Great flying maneuvers. The music a bit over the top but ok.

    Travelling to Mazarrón Spain

    Try EASA. This is the European web site to register your drone in the county you are going to fly. https://www.easa.europa.eu/en/light/user/register I registered for a trout last month to Poland. I also had to take a brief test (I took it 5 times before I could pass) for the Polish...

    Best "starter" drone?

    Thank you for your service! I am retired USAF (Langley AFB) 86 year old. I fly mostly the Mavic Mini 4 Pro. In the past I started with the Mavic Air 1, then M3, and mini 3. The Mini 4 Pro is the best for travel and all around user friendly drone and you will love it. I have taken it all over...

    3 Hanksville,Utah, and Grand Staircase Escalante National Monument , Utah

    I am still working my way through a ton of assets towards creating a video, but would like to share a few images from our recent astrophotography private workshop to some of the parks of Utah. All of these images were created by the Mavic 3, and processed in Adobe Photoshop 26. Both regions are...
