[QUOTE="Steve Kennedy, post: 66610, member: 12690"] An observation. Flying a drone requires responsibility. Not everyone is comfortable with an airborne camera hanging around and you must respect that - privacy is important. Before I "take off" I check for other aircraft and listen for engines - if I see or hear, I ground myself. We live in a warning zone here due to a nearby aerodrome and my drone knows it. The developers were wise enough to provide the software to know this anywhere in North America (perhaps the World?) and constant updates are added and I load them. Here, I am limited to 100-120 metres altitude but the drone is capable of 500 metres elsewhere. In fact I saw a video of the same model (DJI Spark) taken to 1 km but he was "assaulted" by other drone "pilots" for being irresponsible for modifying the software and reaching that altitude and rightly so, be responsible. If you plan to buy one of these, follow the rules. Transport Canada and the U.S. FAA is watching us. There are many more considerations using one of these toys and tools so use your head.
