Don - this is an absolute Tour de Force.. I suspect that it should actually be the first video new operators watch. It is astounding to learn how incredibly sophisticated and capable our aircraft are... The only thing I cannot grasp is why Transport Canada hasn't made you their RPAS educational adviser. You are THE man for this subject in Canada (and quite likely further afield).
What excellent instructional videos you produce! Thank you! You have such a calm, clear and pleasant way of communication (side note on one tiny inconsequential thing I noticed that I have heard in a couple of your videos on drone communication... "Fresnel" is pronounced without the s, so "Fruh nel" is the typical pronunciation) ... thank you so much for your videos!
Currently preparing for the advanced license. Wanted to say thanks for putting this information together and helping us 'non-technical' folk understand the thingamajigs and doodads.
Awesome video, learned most of this at my first RPIC/ Ground Control Station Operation job. but was amazing to refresh before walking into my interview tomorrow. well done sir thanks for the refresher!
Thank you Don, your topic coverage is like a tablecloth; colorful and everything from the ground up! Fantastic references on all topics, look forward to your tutorials!
Excellent video Don, your explanation of how the different components come together was easy to understand and I personally gained a lot from it. I fly a mavic 2 pro down here in New Zealand.
Thank you for watching and commenting, Dave! BTW, we're getting a nice big snowfall here in Ottawa. Will try to send some your way for some picturesque views!
well done don on putting this amazing video together .. lots of cool information that u explained very well and kept it nice and simple . fantastic job don super well done ..
What a FANTASTIC Video! Very easy to follow and love the diagram ;-) Thank you for these videos and your time, alway learning something new every time I watch one of your Videos
Thanks, Fraser! Glad you enjoyed the material and the other shots too! I often use leftover footage from my cinematic videos in these educational ones!
Tiltrotor drones use rotors first for straight-down lift, then slowly tilt into a horizontal direction. This kind of drone uses wings to provide the lift when travelling horizontally. The Wingtra drone isn't really tilt-rotor, but operates in a similar way. There is footage of it in this video (somewhere in the middle, then at the very end): ua-cam.com/video/s-DWwMD-Zq8/v-deo.html Seeing it will help you understand the principle. Hope that helps!
Those drones are amazing. Especially when you consider what you are getting for your money. A decent point and shoot camera costs close to or sometimes more than a decent drone. Add a gimbal and you might as well just hand hold your drone to make videos. The technology has come a long way.
I would like to see an explanation of the DJI maps fly zones and no fly zones explained. I am inside a orange circle on map where because I am within 3 miles of 5.6 km of a small airport and am right on the edge of a runway approach grey on map. The edge of it run right thru the middle of my house.
That would be an interesting topic...I'll add it to my list. In the meantime, please be aware that the DJI fly safe map does not correspond to Canadian regulations, is missing key restricted zones, and adds some extra restrictions that should not really apply here. This video discusses these issues: ua-cam.com/video/p0Ql_EK7Djw/v-deo.html
Hey this s already video I just received a DJI MINI 2 for Christmas and have no drone experience at all. Òf course first thing I did was fully charge my batteries.
Hi Dave! Welcome to the wonderful world of drones! Please watch this video about how the regulations apply to the Mini 2 at the very least. I've got lots more! ua-cam.com/video/K7H2TsEOlMw/v-deo.html
The DJI drones each seem to have a different number from what I've seen. And the more recent ones will warn you if it can't see enough...but still allow you to fly ATTI mode. Personally, I would feel uncomfortable with less than 12.
Hey Don! On my advanced drone exam there was a question regarding the satellite constellations that I can't find the answer to. Would the correct systems used here in Canada be GPS, GNSS and Galileo?
I know I am repeating myself but, well done Don again! You really are a champ! Keep em coming!
Thank you so much, Roger!
Very good explanations spiced with bits of humor.
Glad you enjoyed!

You are very welcome!
Very informative, thank you! Very nice shots btw, I wish I lived in an area like that! I'll have to get some shots when it is safe after COVID.
Thanks, Fraser! Glad you enjoyed the material and the other shots too! I often use leftover footage from my cinematic videos in these educational ones!
Awesome and informative video as always from you Don.
Thank you for watching and commenting, Kurd Fit!
Thank you. Could you please elaborate on tiltrotor drones and how they transition from vertical to horizontal flight.
Tiltrotor drones use rotors first for straight-down lift, then slowly tilt into a horizontal direction. This kind of drone uses wings to provide the lift when travelling horizontally. The Wingtra drone isn't really tilt-rotor, but operates in a similar way. There is footage of it in this video (somewhere in the middle, then at the very end): ua-cam.com/video/s-DWwMD-Zq8/v-deo.html Seeing it will help you understand the principle. Hope that helps!
Those drones are amazing. Especially when you consider what you are getting for your money. A decent point and shoot camera costs close to or sometimes more than a decent drone. Add a gimbal and you might as well just hand hold your drone to make videos. The technology has come a long way.
All true. And I know a few people who have actually used their drone for handheld shots, at least for B-Roll.
Nice......
Thanks, Susana!
Interesting. I always thought altitude measurement was derived from gps, not barometer. Live and learn.
Glad you found the video interesting!
Amazing video and explanation, as always! Thanks Don :)
Thanks!! Glad you enjoyed it!
Love it Sir.. Thanks alot for the knowledges
Thanks!

Hi Don. What is the sufficient number satellite that the drone needs to take off. Great stuff you have. Thanks.
The DJI drones each seem to have a different number from what I've seen. And the more recent ones will warn you if it can't see enough...but still allow you to fly ATTI mode. Personally, I would feel uncomfortable with less than 12.
