    Question for experienced drone pilots in Canada...

    The problem isn't that you need to register and take the test to be able to fly over 250 The problem is that in the city of Toronto and it's surrounding suburbs, you literally legally can't fly your drone AT ALL if it's above 250g. So the plus battery and all those accessories are basically...

    Question for experienced drone pilots in Canada...

    yeah seems pointless honestly for 10-12 minutes of extra flight on a battery It's too restrictive with where you can fly, when you fly in the same areas as sub 250 with no problems at all It's a shame, because I JUST got my basic license and I was so excited to maybe even get an Air 3 if that...

    Is the plus battery worth the extra hoops and regulations you jump through?

    The problem is that in Canada, you basically can't fly a drone thats over 250g over any parts of most of Toronto (the major city) or its surrounding towns

    Question for experienced drone pilots in Canada...

    Would that not have the same effect on sub 250g?

    Question for experienced drone pilots in Canada...

    Where in Canada are you? I'm questioning if its even worth it because with a drone above 250g you cant even fly in half of Toronto

    Is the plus battery worth the extra hoops and regulations you jump through?

    Just curious what other peoples thoughts are It adds like 12 min extra flight time? Is that very noticeable? Is it worth the headache and having to obey other regulations you wouldnt have to otherwise? As a drone above 250g you would no longer be able to fly during night time, would have to...

    Question for experienced drone pilots in Canada...

    I just got my basic certificate allowing me to fly above 250g I ordered 1 single battery plus for the mini 3 80% of the time I will be flying below 250g but sometimes above, do I need to register the drone still? Even though a majority of the time it will be below 250g?

    ND filters? Which ones are actually useful?

    If I get only 1 filter, which should I get? Something good for daytime shooting, as well as longer exposure

    ND filters? Which ones are actually useful?

    I want to do long exposure and hyperlapses so I will likely need the 1000 ND But what about other ones? Is the polarized filter actually useful for photos? Also does anyone know any promo codes for free well? $20 shipping for a $50 purchase kinda hurts

    Prop screws are way too tight? (mini 3)

    I think its fine now, did two test flights one at around 20-30m altitude for 10 mins, and another later at 100m altitude for about 15-20 mins, no issues so far.

    Prop screws are way too tight? (mini 3)

    I could take some, it's very odd, they LOOK the same, same length and everything, but certain screws would tighten out with 20% of the screw stuck above the prop, and then literally just swapping for another screw solved the problem.

    Prop screws are way too tight? (mini 3)

    Managed to cut the prop off and pry out the screw with a prying tool Just a warning though, some of the screws seem defective or something from the factor, they tighten way too soon and stick out, while others fit in just fine and tighten at the bottom as they should I had to go through like...

    Prop screws are way too tight? (mini 3)

    I mean that just goes back to the original problem though, the screw seems to go in up to a certain point and then won't screw in further. As show in the picture. So even if I get the stripped screw removed, the next screw would likely be the same

    Prop screws are way too tight? (mini 3)

    Yeah I'm not flying this drone until I get this fixed As it is now, I replaced two props, one scrwed in fine, but the second was not screwing in all the way. After trying to elbow grease it in, I ended up stripping the screw head So now I'm...screwed. I just hope it's not an expensive fix and...

    Prop screws are way too tight? (mini 3)

    Either way it looks like I will have to send it to DJI, I just hope they don't consider this as a replacement in my refresh because it's really only this one prop screw that is the problem So disappointed that I likely won't have the drone for most of the remaining summer How quick is DJI with...
