Just got back from a 5 week road trip with family out to the Canadian Rockies from my home in Ontario. We visited many National Parks to celebrate Canada's 150th and take advantage of the free park access. Brought my P3S out intending to use it to take some photos in the National Parks we visited but never took it out of its case. There were so many beautiful areas that would have made great aerial shots, but in every national park and even provincial parks there where signs clearly stating no drones allowed (picture of drone inside a circle with a line through it). In one park there was even a sign saying that anyone who broke the law could be fined up to $25,000. Ouch! Not worth the risk so drone stayed in case and I just used my DSLRs instead.
I completely understand in parks like Banff where there are throngs of visitors at every scenic place, but in other parks there was barely anyone in some of the less famous areas and I was tempted to take out my drone but in the end didn't. There is so much bad press about drones right now and its a touchy subject with the new restrictions in Canada that I didn't want to risk it. Anyway I was happy with the shots I got with my DSLR.
