Nice video but your drone is no drone fly zone. At one point your drone is directly in flight path where float planes take off. I live in Nanaimo so I know the area very well. You are also very close to harbour airport for float planes, this is a busy airport.

Thank you very much for your comments and expressing your issues with my flight. Il do my best to alleviate your concerns
1) I hold an advanced level RPAS license that allows me to operate in controlled airspaces with permission from NAV Canada. And in this instance i did have permission
2) I was operating a sub250g Dji Mini 3 The attached picture indicates the rules of the area for sub 250 drones
3) Drone safety is very important to me and if i do see any aircraft. I drop down low and land right away.

Fly Safe

Have you ever been the last car to make it on the ferry ⛴? Or worse, the first car to miss getting on ?
Thanks for sharing

Yes to both.
