Years ago a freind of mine was living in Brazil and I went to visit him. We were legally drinking beer in the back seat of a car with no seatbelt. We went to some mall where the security guard gave us shit for continuing to drink the beer as we walked through an underground parking garage. It was kinda backwards lol
Man.... Thank god for those cones.... I couldn't imagine the damage that could be done if those 4 in high cones didn't notify the public of the imminent danger.
Here in NYC it's easy to fly a drone. The police support you. You just need to explain what you're doing. Also I was in Germany with my DJI Mini. The software has you call a telephone number, you get a 6-digit code and then you can fly, like over the Brandenburg Gate and a lot of other places. And in Lyon, France, easy peasy.
Out of control shootings in Toronto in December. Government response: kill the market for drones. In other words, big problem: do nothing. Little problem: government over-reach.
@@frankryan8100 Shooters only need devices that shoot bullets. That means that there is a whole lot of fertile territory for shooters other than assault rifles. Most firearms used in shootings here are illegally owned. And used.
Sorry, I don't speak English well. In Europe it is forbidden to fly in Hungary and there is no possibility of examinations. And they will never officially release drone flying :-(
We were planning to visit Canada with a group of friends but after watching this video we cancelled our trip. These bureaucratic and stupid drone rules will effect Canadian tourism. We will go to the United States instead. Greetings from Greece.
Yes, head to the USA, where Skydio is lobbying politicians to ban DJI due to their inability to compete, potentially straining US-China relations. We have officially entered an 'idiotocracy.'
@@MauricioHernandez-st8su watch out for the airport tho. I live about an hour and a half away from Montréal next to an airport and I have to be quite careful with my drone
CapriciousBlackBox yes you can fly your drone over your house. The laws are all phony BS. The governments don’t wNt the people to have eyes in the sky. Or cameras in Epstein’s cell. Why people still pay taxes to this criminal organization blows my mind.
@@actualideas8078 because if I don't pay my taxes I will get thrown in prison. It is easy to say hey man, F the gov't don't pay taxes when you are not making a lot of money but my taxable income last year was $850,000 and some change, so I think they'd miss me if I decided not to pay. I bet you are one of those people that thinks getting a big tax return check is super cool. I love rebellious people with no real skin in the game. I either pay my taxes, enjoy my freedom and what my income gives me the ability to do for fun or I don't pay and lose things. I support your right to do stupid stuff tho'.
That's crazy, I'd either enter false information when registering a drone so the ticket will never reach you unless you get stopped in person. Or buy a drone without geofencing so nobody remote can actually see you're flying. At the moment I only have a mini 3 pro and while flying in restricted areas I got stopped by a police officer once, but he didn't actually knew the rules himself so I could go after a small talk that I shouldn't fly too high.
So let me get this straight, you can take a 10-minute written test that's mostly common sense 10 minute drive around with someone to evaluate you and then drive around a 6000 pound vehicle on the same road as children on bicycles but you need a 30 hour class to fly a drone? Hmmm
Most likely it has a lot to do with what they are rolling out in the future. None of this would stop me getting a drone because I think we will be needing one in the near future.
@@henrik3129 of course! Drugs are usually bought by highly intelligent people with high level of responsibility and they are absolutely safe for others..

@The Compiler In practical terms, very similar. In the case of cannabis, literally legalized. OP's point, methinks, is that Canada is indulgent to druggies but punishes entrepreneurs, drone hobbyists, etc.
If the new legislation was created in reaction to careless and thoughtless drone pilots, what on earth makes anyone think that that type of person will comply with licencing and registration?
Guys, check the date of this video: 5 YEARS AGO! In 2024, it's quite easy to fly drones in Canada. Under 250g, you don't even have to register your drone.
We in Jamaica need to count our blessings. There are only a few rules here; no flying over people, no flying near airports and military installations and you are required to get permission if you're flying over someone else's property. That's it.
nobody owns the space over a property, its only if you land on a property right? , airspace above around 100 feet above property is public space as long as you do not hover but transit
Start a petition to roll back the restrictions. Ultra-light aircraft went through a period of heavy restrictions until knowledgeable people stepped in and lobbied for reasonable rules.
pros about this.... drone pilot for hiring " does event's, weddings, party's, youtubers that need a drone filmer" yeah pretty much just opened up a new job title for photographers.
In January I started to go through everything; I made a couple YT vids on the upcoming laws that are now in effect. There's SOOO much info and Transport Canada doesn't provide much help. After many hours of scavenging the internet for info, I was able to pass the basic exam and the advanced exam. They are not easy at all.. So many irrelevant questions. That being said, there's some good news, so hopefully this helps: I spoke directly with Transport Canada several times over the last few months and they said most people don't realize that with just the basic operations certificate (Which requires you to pass an online exam only), you can fly in the majority of the areas in Canada. With the basic operations certificate you can even fly at night now if your drone has proper lighting; you can fly over roads and cars too. You still cannot fly over people with the basic certificate, or in controlled airspace, or in any national park, or higher than 400 feet, or near airports/helipads, but other than that, any place outside of the areas that have airports or helipads you can fly legally with the basic certificate. You don't even need insurance anymore under the new laws. The basic is for uncontrolled areas, and the advanced is for controlled areas. You don't need to be in contact with Air Traffic Control if you're flying in uncontrolled areas (Class G airspace and some class F airspace.) There are some other rules that are a bit ridiculous like you have to wait 12 hours after consuming even 1 beer before flying, even though you can legally drive if you wait an hour after 1 beer. You also have to keep records of your flights, but the DJI app keeps those records in app, so it's kind of a grey area for HOW to keep those records. The one thing I'm frustrated with is that after 2 years, you need to 'update your knowledge', but you can ONLY do so by taking some sort of Transport Canada approved course, or program, which is expensive! Several hundred dollars it looks like. Hopefully this gets changed because it makes no sense; to fly in the first 2 years you just have to pass the basic exam, then 2 years later you have to pay for a course?? haha
The greedy bastards want to give people time to invest in one or more expensive drones, counting on them then willingly forking over the fee. In the end……… it’s all about revenue !
The import part no one has paid attention to is at 2:57 BEFORE this there was already stupid rules in Canada where anyone could fly a drone but you weren't allowed within like 9 miles of any airport or helipad or something stupid, that basically rules out all remotely populated areas. Now you need the licence but you can fly near controlled airspace which you couldn't do before.
That's right - before June 2019 anyone could fly nowhere. After June 2019 a few people can fly pretty well anywhere. I just got my Advanced ticket last week so good to go!
1:20, Runway 038? Nah, you mean runway 03, which is at around a 30 degree heading (not exactly 30 degrees usually because of the way the earth changes), it is impossible for there to be a Runway 38 because there is only 360 degrees in a circle, hence why the maximum heading you can achieve is Heading of 360. hence why there can be a Runway 36, but not a runway 38 because there is no heading of 380 degrees.
The other day we were almost hit by someone in a car who decided to drive on the footpath to overtake a car at speed in a car travelling over the speed limit ... but it seems like there are stricter laws for drones than giant metal cars that constantly travel in close proximity to people
This has been the point I've been making lately. Imagine if you had to do a pre-drive checklist, write down the path which you plan to take, have a co-driver who has also been trained, and report it if so much as a pebble gets launched at your windshield. You also have to broadcast your location to the public in case you're breaking any laws so the public can find and report you. All to drive for fun. In case you're lost, I just described the FAA, AMA CBO, and new Remote ID recreation rules, but on a car.
I am so very happy I live in the USA as a part107 licensed sUAS pilot. The FAA is continuing to make drone operations easier for licensed pilots by using common sense. Easy automated operational clearance via AirMap with the FAA. All in all, a simple process from start to finish.
And largely I think that is because people need to have a kneejerk reaction to not comply before compliance. For example the BATFE approved braces for pistol builds only because people so many people were making unregistered SBR so the BATFE was forced to compromise. If you have a population that immediately complies with government regulations, then there is no incentive for the government to bend backwards for people.
Actually it's people that use drones for illegitimate reasons that have brought all this about. Drones are a very cool hobby but some people use them to invade people's privacy and or snoop on private property. I have an old friend that recently discovered a crashed drone in his back yard. He downloaded the data from the camera and the operator was flying the drone at rooftop levels into people's back yards. The owner has yet to show up at his door asking for it back and if they're smart, they won't.
So you were going to buy a drone.. but you don't have good lenses? Or is it that you have good lenses... but you would like better lenses? If so... can you share what you are getting? Are they replacements for existing lenses, or additionals?
Canadian geese have all immigrated to America so they don't have to register with the Canadian government. We now have all your geese and we want your bacon too.
@Zi Kun ZengSo are cannabis and alcohol, and marijuana has more benefits than both of those. The data linking cannabis to being a "gateway drug" is mostly based on correlation, so in that sense gun ownership is a "gateway" to homocide.
@Zi Kun Zeng I see your comprehension skills are incredibly lacking, since it seems you understood literally nothing of what I said. EDIT: I realise now that my points don't make much sense on this comment. I was kinda merging this comment and the one saying "My neighbour can shoot a gun all day long, but I can't fly a drone over my own house....." in my head. My bad.
you can blame the few for this. A forest fire crew was grounded in BC because a yahoo flying a drone taking video of the fire. That is just one example.
I used to blame the idiots who acted carelessly, but it's really the people acting with intent that are causing the problems. There are two groups, the people lobbying the government for strict regulation, and the activists/terrorists who use them to make political statements or to shut down infrastructure like the criminals who caused the Gatwick closure. There isn't much you can do about the latter, but the lobbyists can be defeated if money is focused in the right direction. Recently the AMA, the US model aircraft association, divulged that it was industry lobbyist working for the big tech companies who were trying to shut down the public's access to our own airspace, simply so they didn't have to work around the hobbyists. They pretty much wanted to bull doze their way into the below 400 ft range and completely take over without having to worry about those who have been using it safely for decades. But they are finding out how much bite is in our bark. So far, our little organization has managed to keep a seat at the table against some of the most powerful corporations on the planet. Canada's hobby community needs access to good lobbyists and advisors to keep the wolves at bay. Start hating on those responsible for the new regs instead of fellow flyers who are too stupid to get out of their own way. I'll bet Canada's new regs were pushed by Amazon, Google, etc. They are your real enemies, unless getting your pizza delivered by air is more important than flying your model aircraft/drones.
@@shmaknapublar Gatwick closure was a cover story. There is no actual evidence that there was actually a drone. Do your research. This was obviously a cover story when they brought out sharp-shooters. It was yet more demonizing of our hobby. Canada's laws aren't that bad as a 250 gram limit is still tons of fun to fly.
Gets arrested, walks into prison.... Inmate: "Sup man, why are you here?" Me: I owe $50,000 in drone fines, what about you? Inmate: "I convinced my friend he's a panda" Me: ..... Dangit Canada
My guess is this is an over reaction to the people who have been doing what they should not have been doing. Flying too high, near airports, spying on people, etc. It's always the few bad apples that ruin it for everyone else.
It's not the bad apples that spoil it for everybody, it's the authorities who 1) refuse to single out and punish specific bad actor behavior, and 2) legislate as if they assume the constituents are bad actors.
not sure it's an overreaction. Drones have been and will keep evolving. It will come to how they will enforce it. They might not do anything to people who are flying small drones in their own property and not bothering anyone. It's just easier to put out guidelines that apply to everyone everywhere, than to define the safe distance from airports, air routes etc. and then try to proof if the rules and which rules were broken. Now ignorance is not an excuse.
I personally think the reality is the gov't of any country is not really good at doing things properly- so they tackle issues with very little thought or applied intelligence.
"Runway 038" No. Runway numbers don't go that detailed, they round to nearest ten so Runway 03. If you meant Runway 38, they don't go beyond 36 because 360 degrees.
I sold my 3 Phantoms because I knew this was coming back in June. Now I have a Mini to fill the void. Most drone owners were hobbyists. A lot of people try it for awhile then it sits in the closet. For me, I don’t live in a city, I love photography and the aerial perspective I can get for cheap, as opposed to hiring a helicopter. So for the type of causal flying I do, I would be damned before I took a stupid, overkill course. Thankfully the Mini came along for people like me. Even if I was willing to take a course, there is no way I would be putting all my info on my drone so someone could sue me. THis is too much.. When Canada introduced the boater Licencing program, a 16 year old could take an online, multiple choice, test and in a few hours, take his card and go buy a 180hp supercharged PWC and drive 80 mph on a crowded lake. But fly a little drone, no way.
Australia allows you to fly up to 150Kgs as a hobby, non-commercially and 2.5kgs commercially under the "excluded" category without any bother. 255g for Canada's "Excluded" category equivalent sounds even more ridiculous than the already ridiculously tight Australian laws - what a shame.
Going through the process of becoming an advanced pilot opened up a lot of doors for me personally. I personally tried looking online for a complete step by step process on how to get fully licensed in Canada and found a lot of fragmented vids. I ended up making my own FULL tutorial on HOW TO GET A DRONE LIECNE and hopefully it can help anyone out who wants to be able to fly a drone over 250 grams in Canada, safe and legally!
I'm convinced this will happen, and probably very soon. Technology in the drone world has come so far this decade, and I am willing to bet we're going to see some CRAZY stuff coming up to make it safer. Can't wait!
Runway 038? I think you need new batteries in that compass... Runways can go from 01 to 36 (10 degrees to 360 degrees) Time to re-read that 300 page PDF.
bruh...Canadian government is always about removing individual freedoms. It's like Western China. Here citizen take your welfare, healthcare and subsidized housing. Do drugs and stay home all day or return home from work and then do drugs.
I need my six inch for long range, no way I'd be able to fly with a decased gopro on a tiny drone lol. I'm in the US though, and part 107 certified, it wasn't too bad, but now I need a VO for any video gigs I do with FPV...
@@scenic_shoots they are making it hard to want to. The new US regs are getting interesting. I started flying FPV a few years ago.. no GPS, no software.. I fly whenever and where ever I want to now (not being stupid, and usually in the middle of nowhere) way more fun.
In India, almost all these, plus "No permission no takeoff", meaning every time you fly a drone, you must take permission of the authorities through an app. And also, if I am not mistaken, all drones legally sold in India will have the no permission no takeoff thing built into the system, so that no one can bypass it. All these apply to >= 250g drones, of course.
*So incredibly ridiculous.* DJI will have to fix it or lose their business. Maybe incorporate more air traffic sensing tech and avoidance systems to make old geriatric politicians more comfortable on something they know nothing about.
This is not the politicians fault. The retards who have been flying the things in airports are the ones to blame, they left no other safe choice to the legislators
Canada treats their citizens like fragile little children who need their mommy to watch over them. Not just drone laws but everything, their ridiculously slow speed limits for example. I live in Michigan and travel back to Canada where I grew up often and I hear of WAY more traffic accidents in Ontario. I feel like Canada’s standard of goodie too shoes laws create weak scared citizens who’s over cautiousness cause more harm than it intended.
Don’t get me wrong there’s plenty I also love about Canada. I also don’t think it needs to swing in the other extreme, just that people should be treated as adults not children.
We have had cars for over hundreds years now, we know what they do, why they are dangerous, and made good laws around this. Drones are extremely new, the consumer has never seen those before this decade. This makes ppl scared and made the rules extremely safe, but this is all changing pretty fast since they are beginning to get more common and exist longer. In my country for example we had the same laws as canada has here. But this is completly gonna change in 2020.
Cars are an essential part of most economies. How are you supposed to get to work on time consistently, to earn your boss all his/her money and pay your bills and taxes without an auto-mo-bile? Not to mention oil companies and the lobbying they give to politicians would have a fit if their precious fuel sales dwindled. To ban all cars now would tank the economy. If drones were essential for the working class as a whole and could earn the government substantial money by making it accessible to everyone like automobiles, you better believe they'd make it immensely simpler.
I'm licensed in the US to fly drones. The test and questions are so outdated and irrelevant to drone flying. Now it's just a card that sits in my wallet.
Hi, I have a small youtube channel and I’m trying to reach and get help from other small channels like myself. I am subscribing to your channel now and would hope you would return the favor and subscribe to mine. Thanks in advance.
this has also made it's way to Europe and the UK, here in holland we have near enough the same rules, the lightweight "toy" drones don't require any certification, but as soon as you go over the 250gram category, then the rules that apply for you, also come into effect here
Dude. I fly my mavic air 2 all the time all over the place in Canada. U just have to be a little carefully and in cognito when you take off because after that I fly about 1000 ft away and do my shots and recordings if anyone were to see it and call the cops what are they going to do? Shoot it down? Then once im done I return to home pack up and leave. There's no way you can ever get caught if your careful.

That's crazy, I'd either enter false information when registering a drone so the ticket will never reach you unless you get stopped in person. Or buy a drone without geofencing so nobody remote can actually see you're flying. At the moment I only have a mini 3 pro and while flying in restricted areas I got stopped by a police officer once, but he didn't actually knew the rules himself so I could go after a small talk that I shouldn't fly too high.
So let me get this straight, you can take a 10-minute written test that's mostly common sense 10 minute drive around with someone to evaluate you and then drive around a 6000 pound vehicle on the same road as children on bicycles but you need a 30 hour class to fly a drone? Hmmm

I'm in Ottawa Canada, and I got a DJI mavic mini it's considered a micro drone cause it's a sub 250g...works great had it for 5 months now!!
In January I started to go through everything; I made a couple YT vids on the upcoming laws that are now in effect. There's SOOO much info and Transport Canada doesn't provide much help. After many hours of scavenging the internet for info, I was able to pass the basic exam and the advanced exam. They are not easy at all.. So many irrelevant questions. That being said, there's some good news, so hopefully this helps:
I spoke directly with Transport Canada several times over the last few months and they said most people don't realize that with just the basic operations certificate (Which requires you to pass an online exam only), you can fly in the majority of the areas in Canada. With the basic operations certificate you can even fly at night now if your drone has proper lighting; you can fly over roads and cars too.
You still cannot fly over people with the basic certificate, or in controlled airspace, or in any national park, or higher than 400 feet, or near airports/helipads, but other than that, any place outside of the areas that have airports or helipads you can fly legally with the basic certificate. You don't even need insurance anymore under the new laws.
The basic is for uncontrolled areas, and the advanced is for controlled areas. You don't need to be in contact with Air Traffic Control if you're flying in uncontrolled areas (Class G airspace and some class F airspace.)
There are some other rules that are a bit ridiculous like you have to wait 12 hours after consuming even 1 beer before flying, even though you can legally drive if you wait an hour after 1 beer. You also have to keep records of your flights, but the DJI app keeps those records in app, so it's kind of a grey area for HOW to keep those records.
The one thing I'm frustrated with is that after 2 years, you need to 'update your knowledge', but you can ONLY do so by taking some sort of Transport Canada approved course, or program, which is expensive! Several hundred dollars it looks like. Hopefully this gets changed because it makes no sense; to fly in the first 2 years you just have to pass the basic exam, then 2 years later you have to pay for a course?? haha
Great Info Alli and Will, could you tell how much did you pay for the Basic Exam Certification?
@@manuelrota6268 The good news is we can probably just say 'Sorry' and we'll be on our way. haha

Wow thanks for all this information 🙏
The import part no one has paid attention to is at 2:57
BEFORE this there was already stupid rules in Canada where anyone could fly a drone but you weren't allowed within like 9 miles of any airport or helipad or something stupid, that basically rules out all remotely populated areas.
Now you need the licence but you can fly near controlled airspace which you couldn't do before.
I honestly prefer the new laws...they are better then what we had before
That's right - before June 2019 anyone could fly nowhere. After June 2019 a few people can fly pretty well anywhere. I just got my Advanced ticket last week so good to go!

The other day we were almost hit by someone in a car who decided to drive on the footpath to overtake a car at speed in a car travelling over the speed limit ... but it seems like there are stricter laws for drones than giant metal cars that constantly travel in close proximity to people
This has been the point I've been making lately. Imagine if you had to do a pre-drive checklist, write down the path which you plan to take, have a co-driver who has also been trained, and report it if so much as a pebble gets launched at your windshield. You also have to broadcast your location to the public in case you're breaking any laws so the public can find and report you. All to drive for fun.
In case you're lost, I just described the FAA, AMA CBO, and new Remote ID recreation rules, but on a car.
I am so very happy I live in the USA as a part107 licensed sUAS pilot. The FAA is continuing to make drone operations easier for licensed pilots by using common sense. Easy automated operational clearance via AirMap with the FAA. All in all, a simple process from start to finish.
And largely I think that is because people need to have a kneejerk reaction to not comply before compliance. For example the BATFE approved braces for pistol builds only because people so many people were making unregistered SBR so the BATFE was forced to compromise. If you have a population that immediately complies with government regulations, then there is no incentive for the government to bend backwards for people.
I'm so glad the CAA in the UK seem to roughly be following the FAA.

They've killed a hobby.
Actually it's people that use drones for illegitimate reasons that have brought all this about. Drones are a very cool hobby but some people use them to invade people's privacy and or snoop on private property. I have an old friend that recently discovered a crashed drone in his back yard. He downloaded the data from the camera and the operator was flying the drone at rooftop levels into people's back yards. The owner has yet to show up at his door asking for it back and if they're smart, they won't.
Mike Daroche you’re an idiot. The reason for the laws is so we don’t find all the secret government bunkers

you can blame the few for this. A forest fire crew was grounded in BC because a yahoo flying a drone taking video of the fire. That is just one example.
I used to blame the idiots who acted carelessly, but it's really the people acting with intent that are causing the problems. There are two groups, the people lobbying the government for strict regulation, and the activists/terrorists who use them to make political statements or to shut down infrastructure like the criminals who caused the Gatwick closure. There isn't much you can do about the latter, but the lobbyists can be defeated if money is focused in the right direction. Recently the AMA, the US model aircraft association, divulged that it was industry lobbyist working for the big tech companies who were trying to shut down the public's access to our own airspace, simply so they didn't have to work around the hobbyists. They pretty much wanted to bull doze their way into the below 400 ft range and completely take over without having to worry about those who have been using it safely for decades. But they are finding out how much bite is in our bark. So far, our little organization has managed to keep a seat at the table against some of the most powerful corporations on the planet. Canada's hobby community needs access to good lobbyists and advisors to keep the wolves at bay. Start hating on those responsible for the new regs instead of fellow flyers who are too stupid to get out of their own way. I'll bet Canada's new regs were pushed by Amazon, Google, etc. They are your real enemies, unless getting your pizza delivered by air is more important than flying your model aircraft/drones.
@@shmaknapublar Gatwick closure was a cover story. There is no actual evidence that there was actually a drone. Do your research. This was obviously a cover story when they brought out sharp-shooters. It was yet more demonizing of our hobby. Canada's laws aren't that bad as a 250 gram limit is still tons of fun to fly.

My guess is this is an over reaction to the people who have been doing what they should not have been doing. Flying too high, near airports, spying on people, etc. It's always the few bad apples that ruin it for everyone else.
It's not the bad apples that spoil it for everybody, it's the authorities who 1) refuse to single out and punish specific bad actor behavior, and 2) legislate as if they assume the constituents are bad actors.
For real,GeoMac Granddad.
not sure it's an overreaction. Drones have been and will keep evolving. It will come to how they will enforce it. They might not do anything to people who are flying small drones in their own property and not bothering anyone. It's just easier to put out guidelines that apply to everyone everywhere, than to define the safe distance from airports, air routes etc. and then try to proof if the rules and which rules were broken. Now ignorance is not an excuse.
I personally think the reality is the gov't of any country is not really good at doing things properly- so they tackle issues with very little thought or applied intelligence.
It's not even an overreaction. They misrepresented the laws.

when someone gets killed by a car ,are cars banned?
We have had cars for over hundreds years now, we know what they do, why they are dangerous, and made good laws around this. Drones are extremely new, the consumer has never seen those before this decade. This makes ppl scared and made the rules extremely safe, but this is all changing pretty fast since they are beginning to get more common and exist longer. In my country for example we had the same laws as canada has here. But this is completly gonna change in 2020.
Cars are an essential part of most economies. How are you supposed to get to work on time consistently, to earn your boss all his/her money and pay your bills and taxes without an auto-mo-bile? Not to mention oil companies and the lobbying they give to politicians would have a fit if their precious fuel sales dwindled. To ban all cars now would tank the economy.
If drones were essential for the working class as a whole and could earn the government substantial money by making it accessible to everyone like automobiles, you better believe they'd make it immensely simpler.

I just took that test and got about 3 questions about drones the rest were about airplanes and stuff.
same dude.
The government never claimed to be efficient 😂
it's so difficult to update something like that, the main point of it is to be an impediment, not teach you the rules. :/
We'll all be talking about the "good ol' drone days" in like 5 years when drones are outlawed literally everywhere.
don't make sport at this cause this is getting serious and I don't like it.
Hi, I have a small youtube channel and I’m trying to reach and get help from other small channels like myself. I am subscribing to your channel now and would hope you would return the favor and subscribe to mine. Thanks in advance.

That air traffic control background audio would be pretty bomb for a lot of footage though.💀
You Pete and Matty are the best bloggers ever on UA-cam, my opinion!
this has also made it's way to Europe and the UK, here in holland we have near enough the same rules, the lightweight "toy" drones don't require any certification, but as soon as you go over the 250gram category, then the rules that apply for you, also come into effect here
How to regulate an industry out of existence. Great job Canada!👍
It's a very reasonable move and should have been how it was from the beginning!
Hmmmmmnnnaaaaaahhhh....
@@TheTechnoPilot why?
Great hairstyle dude. Greetings from Germany.
Oh hey! Ich komm von der Schweiz
Do they allow you to breathe air, drink water and walk in Canada or do you have to bow down to the crown for those also?
This is by far, one of the funniest videos you've created... You're hilarious Pete!!!
Dude. I fly my mavic air 2 all the time all over the place in Canada. U just have to be a little carefully and in cognito when you take off because after that I fly about 1000 ft away and do my shots and recordings if anyone were to see it and call the cops what are they going to do? Shoot it down? Then once im done I return to home pack up and leave. There's no way you can ever get caught if your careful.
But if you are sounds expensive :)
Well if you use the shots you have to be able to come up with the paperwork to prove you obtained the material legally.
Indian drone laws 101: if you can get away you're free to go 🤣🤣
Brother, I think that's MOST indian laws lol
@@Googaliemoogalie I hate to accept that but what can I do it is what it is bro 😂😂😅
