I can't promote our YouTube travel channel here, nor our Singapore videos with drone footage, but you might be able to figure it out. ;)

I have lots of experience flying a sub 250 gram drone (DJI Mini 2) in Singapore. It is possible, but there are lots of airports and military facilities. It is difficult but it can be done. I'm not familiar with requirements for heavier drones. Singapore's requirements are pretty easy to figure...

Thank you. I now leaning towards bringing it.

Thank you. That is helpful. Were you ever hassled/questioned by anyone in your travels with your drone?

Thank you for your wonderful videos. As someone who will be traveling to Malaysia this summer shooting some vlogs, this is very helpful to get a feel for the landscape. I am also trying to understand how the drone laws work in practice in Malaysia. The rules appear to be very restrictive as I am...

Davinci Resolve Free will do all the basic and many of the advanced things you need to get started. If you run into limitations you can buy the Studio (paid) version. Most casual users will never need the Studio version since the list of limited features is quite small. Try it for free and see...

I had the same problem editing 4K footage at 59.94 (60fps) on my first install of v18. I normally edit my timeline in HD (and later use 4K for rendering) but even that didn't help at all. Black Magic just released 18.0.2 Build 7. I installed it and immediately all the problems I was having are...

This prep course/video by Tony Northrup is highly underrated and it is FREE. I watched it, took some notes, studied the materials a little and passed on my first try. FREE Drone Certification Study Guide: FAA Part 107 sUAS Test

What feature of Davinci Resolve are you using that isn't available on the free version? I've been using Davinci Resolve for about a year on a travel vlog I run. The only Studio features I regularly use are: - Faster rendering using the GPU - Faster-Better frame interpolation (when you slow...

From everything I read you should be ok. I also read what you did about the conference. It seemed like the confiscations were continuing AFTER the conference was completed. Either the local officials didn't get the memo or they're using it as a pretext for getting tourists' hardware and/or...

Bringing a drone into Vietnam is perfectly legal. The problem appears to be some sort of corruption only in the Da Nang airport. There are MANY reports of drones being confiscated. Some are returned for a fee. As I stated the "I would have at least the batteries and controller in my carry-on...

In the end we went to Singapore and Indonesia instead. Both are quite friendly for drones and we had no problems whatsoever. My plan for Vietnam if we HAD to fly into Da Nang (DAD) was to hide the drone from customs inspectors in my checked luggage. I read somewhere that they only look for...

I used this excellent video to study for my test a couple years ago (I passed the first time). It was released in 2017 but nearly all of it should be the same except anything LAANC related.

I'm planning a trip to Vietnam soon (they are reopening to tourists in March 2022). I am wondering if anyone from Vietnam or travelers with experience there could help me understand how drone laws are applied there in practice. I've read all the usual websites summarizing the rules. In short...

I had Davinci Resolve free on Windows (I now have the studio version). At that time at least it didn't like H.265 of any kind (newer iPhone footage was particularly problematic). You and I are far from the only people finding problems with H.265 and Davinci Resolve. To get around it I...
