Yes you should declare everything that you take into Canada (from the US) which is not exempt.

I have probably one more round left this year; we'll see what the NEO 2 brings to the table over my NEO 1. These days it's all about having "backup" drones.

Probably but it sounds like the typical thin wire problem that plagues even the best OA systems found on the Skydio drone. Sometimes these systems just can't pickup on small branches or electrical wires, etc. There's only one way to completely solve this problem and that's with AI.

Quite a bit different response in the EU how their governments handle the drone situation as opposed to the US:

With MSRP at AUD 4040 it sounds like a good deal. Since the package would be properly marked with goods manufactured in China, standard tariffs would apply. So far, it's hard to tell if any import fees would be charged or not, but I suggest he ship via FedEx to the US if possible to minimize...

I believe this is: Sold & shipped by Beach Camera

I would be a lot less concerned if RID was more like the license plate on your car but in fact, they are almost nothing alike sadly.

It's a crappy database. In my case, every single "active" drone in my inventory requires the Remote ID to be "validated" so you just hit the button and re-save it again. It looks like now the FAA will have full control over the IDs you enter and if they want to block DJI drones from being...

Let's build a "drone wall." Many many stories on this idea but here is just one: With EU leaders discussing plans to counter Russian drones, what exactly is a ‘drone wall’? https://edition.cnn.com/2025/10/01/europe/drone-wall-eu-leaders-counter-russia-intl

I don't know if it will fix everything but it will fix a lot and by that, I mean the downright stupid stuff that is still happening to us despite our best efforts. but we are not there yet, AI is going through some rough phases where everyone is still trying to make money off of it rather than...

I really hate the search in eBay that hasn't yet learned the DJI nomenclature. I performed a search for DJI Mini 5 Pro so I could order one and the results was able to sneak a Mini 4 Pro in the mix and I missed it.....ordered it and had to cancel right away. Over time, this is only going to...

Another DJI mistake. :rolleyes:

I am going to agree with this. No matter where I get my packages from (the big 3: KR/CH/JP) there is never any of the "usual" paperwork or customs markings attached to the package. In fact, I had to look closely at the one label to see the "KR" return address to realize it was an...
