Yeah, I'm in Redmond and it's just oo cold right now.

The footage is excellent. As for the music and story, that is subjective and as most have already said, it appears difficult for many to follow. I think my biggest issue is that Canada is one of the most restrictive countries when it comes to drone flying and I wonder if you were following...

I went through all of the comments and as a resident of Central Oregon I can say that my hackles raised as I did that. It seems that only the coastline is the state of Oregon. The rest of us don't count. There are many places on the east side of the Cascades where drone flying would have little...

I also thought they had been banned at Smith Rock State Park. The one time I flew there they had no drone flying signs up, but they were is places not very obvious to see/find, so I didn't see them. I got some very good footage before a park volunteer came up and told me I couldn't fly because...

In my morning news feed: 3,000 Eggs Abandoned After Drone Crashes Into Nesting Island, Scares Off Birds

I did upgrade from the original to the MA2. I really, really liked the original. That being said, the MA2 is MUCH better for all the reasons outlined here. It handles better, too. It can do SO much more than the original. Glad I upgraded.

F#*k it, Dude. Let's go flying.

Master Airscrew has just come out with propellers for the Mavic Air 2 and claim a 37% noise reduction over the DJI factory MA2 props. They also claim a flight time increase of 8%. I used the Master Airscrew props on my REALLY noisy original Mavic Air and the difference was phenomenal. I am quite...

My experience with drone repair is quite different. When I contacted DJI a few years ago for some repair work on the drone I had back then, they directed me to a guy who does stellar work on them that was in the major metropolitain area closest to me. Worked out great!

There is credence to your post. However, the FAA still believes a Youtube channel is a business. The first FAA person this guy spoke with in this short video seemed to say ok, while the second was clear it was a violation.

I personally think that most drone pilots do post to social media the videos/photos they take. Sharing is one of the fun things to do.

I'm slightly confused. Are you saying this person is lying? That it's just a promotional video? It appears this is on the level. Help me understand how it is not.

I recently found this video, and with the debating going on regarding 51Drones' video of 7 Tips to Avoid the FAA, I thought this was also worth posting if it hasn't been already. It was interesting and some of the information was certainly disappointing ( I can't post to Facebook???)

Really terrific video. I didn't think there was actually any place left in BC one could legally fly. That's why I left mine at home when I made my annual trip there--before they closed the borders, of course.
