Drone knowledge testing 'to avoid disaster' part of Transport Canada rules proposal Summary: - Device registration - Knowledge test - Age limits (14-16 years) - Liability insurance for recreational drones over 250 grams (9 oz.) meanwhile it will be easier to get commercial license: "You go...

hmm, that's definitely an interesting hypothesis. I think we'll just have to wait for more video footage to come to a conclusion. Although I can't speak to the prop issue, the image vibrancy may be due to the fact the footage is taken during golden hour (at least that's what it appears to...

My understanding now (something I think Casey addressed in the notes section of his video) is that in order to achieve the best image performance, you need to select a focus point by tapping on your screen to set your subject target. If the target is 50m away or further, focus point is set to...

I think this may be a software feature issue.. might be included in updates, but im just speculating.

This has already been covered: Agree? "DJI PHANTOM 3 | Best camera settings …" Basics: - Use LOG colour scheme - Use highest resolution - I wouldn't recommend using framerate lower than 24 fps (higher will be smoother in principle) - Shutter speed should be double framerate (30fps = 1/60th...

I've considered this also.. I guess my one concern is that some birds are attracted to shiny objects, no?

I was curious about this issue as well. This is what i've found: from NAT GEO Gulls don't like bright, scary owl faces on masks or balloons (often called "terror eyes"), and some will also avoid wooden owls, kites shaped like hawks, and decoy coyotes. Things that spin or bounce in the wind...

Thanks for the quick reply and feedback! For the beaches, bluffs, school yards etc. are there any in particular (or areas of) and times of day that you would recommend?

Hi, I'm also new to the forum and quad community! Based in downtown Toronto. I've searched this thread and the rest of the forum and I still can't get a clear answer as to where it would be best (and most legal) to fly my drone. I have no interest in driving to 'sauga to fly at a club...
