I thought all Quickshots EXCEPT Asteroid are 4k capable. I believe Asteroid is 1080p max.

I bought mine to take on hikes and record some (hopefully) spectacular scenery. Had a problem on my first outing, though. GO crashed EVERY time I started recording, leaving me with no control and no footage. Uninstalled and reinstalled the app when I got home and all seems good now. Off on a...

For Canadian airspace, I "think" the NAVCAN Drone Selection Tool is clear and complete. Big red circles around Niagara Falls, which is different from AirMap, and VERY different from GO. Would be interesting to see how closely the NAVCAN map compares to the paper maps you mentioned. I would...

Yes, that's certainly my understanding. Since NAVCAN is the governing authority in Canada, I'm using their map as i posted in post 79 above. Anything red is controlled airspace, and flying in controlled airspace is forbidden. Seems pretty clear.

Hmm, hate to disagree but I don't think you are correct. In addition to the hard boundaries, the Basic Pilot Certificate clearly states "Remain in uncontrolled airspace" and, according to NAVCAN (Government of Canada!), everything in the red area is controlled airspace. The map overview also...

Thanks for that. So it seems the point at which the drone is furthest away from the subject is behind the subject. In my example of standing on a cliff edge with trees behind, I guess I have to start with the drone me (closer to the trees) and then it will circle out over the cliff and come...

New Mavic Air pilot in Richmond, and also just go my Basic Pilot Certificate (what a pain!!!) on Saturday. Flew for the first time on Saturday afternoon at a closed construction site in South Van, only to find out later that this was not a legal site. Be very careful which app/map you use...

Hi, new Mavic Air owner here. Have only flown a couple times so don't have much experience with the Quickshots (or anything else!). My specific question is what determines the direction of the Boomerang Quickshot? Is it the line between the drone and myself (as it looks on the Boomerang...

Well, I bought a Mavic Air and got my Basic Pilot Certificate a few days ago. Very excited to try it out so, using the map in GO to avoid restricted areas, picked a large construction site that was deserted on the weekend. Had some fun, didn't crash and got some basic video. Very impressed...
