Thanks. And agreed, I would love to see actual analysis on this... maybe someone will take my suggestion around doing a PhD thesis...

Thanks everyone for thoughtful and insightful replies. My mind is put more at ease, and I think this information allows people to manage and stratify risk while doing what we love.

Thanks, this is really helpful and getting me much closer to an accurate risk assessment.

Thanks everyone. I guess to add nuance to my post/ question: I am not so much worried about a catastrophic crash that punctures the battery... Well I guess I am worried about that too (nod to PhantomRain), but that would create a fire that I could see and potentially do something about. I am...

I have searched and searched and I cannot see that anyone has addressed this head on, but pardon me if there has been some dedicated discussion on this topic. Preamble: I live in BC (Canada) and do a lot of backcountry camping and hiking. I have an Advanced Operations Drone Pilot Certificate...

Sorry for the late reply. Thanks much. Will try this in the next couple of days.

Hey there. It is admittedly hard finding spots in the city. So many rules. I have really just been heading up into the backcountry near Squamish these days. I actually just posted something asking for help with some crap images that I got way up the Elaho River! I think that technically flying...

Thanks for all that. No haven't tried fixing the focus... problem is I don't often catch it before it is too late. If I see the issue I will focus on the sky or even set it manually to infinity and see if it clears the image up on the controller. I am accessing the full images right off the SD...

Hey there... wow, sorry for the late reply I have not been keeping up. I haven't flown the Cap River Park... trying to stay away from them not wanting to get into any trouble. You are probably right about the asked to leave vs fine bit. There aren't too many places that I know of in the Lower...

Hi folks. So, this is becoming an increasingly frequent recurring problem. I have a M2 Zoom. I am not a photographer. At all. But I get to some cool places take out my drone and start shooting, get home download the images and seemingly at random the whole flight has blurry images. The first...

Hey thanks. My family and I are camping every weekend in the summer and we make it into the interior often. My wife loves Kamloops. Will check out some of the spaces there next summer. Happy to hear any tips for flying in that neck of the woods.

Hey Carey, thanks. Ya I have been using that app. It's great. His videos are great too. And thanks for suggesting Burnaby. I have flown there... I am a bit apprehensive still... It seems they like all other municipalities in the LML prohibit flying in their municipal parks. I am interested in...

Greetings from North Vancouver where today quite unexpectedly a large yellow ball just rose in the east and seems to be making its way westward through the sky. So strange. No rain. I am new to the forum. Just got my Canadian advanced pilot certificate... and just waiting for my M2 Zoom to...
