Do you have a drone?

[Looking4new]

I am glad I didn't jump on the bandwagon regarding drones. The powers that be up here just made new laws about them.
Can't fly higher than 90 meters/292.5'. Can't fly within 75 meters/243.75' of any structure or person.
I don't know what the fines are or who is going to enforce them. Besides how are they going to measure how far you are from structures etc.

Oh, some technologies allow for tracking. LOL

The autel looks interesting for the price.

Bought a refurbished Drone, 4 extra props, 2 extra batteries, prop guards for $914. Comes with 4 extra props, 1 battery, charger, hard case.

I think there will be continuous legislative changes controlling Drones. I think the manifacturers will do their part to assist that control.

Autel already has a rebate of $150 to any owner of their Drone that gets a license to fly.

Their newest firmware update also now has a "log" program that records and stores every flight. I'm certain it would record height.

Well done! Brand?

I think the first terrorist type attack that causes a death of any kind in North America , will cause a lock down tightness of requirements on Drones. I am glad Canada has made a first step. A documentary TV program a few weeks ago with experts from all sides of the issues ( including drone manufacturers) had some of the experts surprised that a terrorist/criminal type person has not already used one for nefarious reasons

They use them (or least have attempted to) to drop contraband over prison fences.

Freedom has a price. We can't just keep banning things because they might be used wrongly. Go after the criminal not the tool.
