I own 3 Drones and work on the mountain. I have a Spark when I go backcountry. In bounds you need a permit to fly. Actually a good rule as guys try to fly around crowded slopes which is not safe. Tom, Whistler

Just another Drone operator who gives the test of us a bad name. Idiot.....period....he deserved it....how he got it on the country is the question. Clear with the proper authorities, get a permit and then you wont have to whine like a baby! I have travelled to more countries than this guy and...

Duh

Personally i really don't care....I have over 275 flights on my P3A and do all my flying in the mountains and wilderness. People who fly their machines in cities or around groups of people are courting disaster and should cover themselves in terms of insurance. I live at Whistler Ski Resort...

All Drones assuming to be spying on people and places.....how short sighted! Drones flown by good pilots are producing some of the most cutting edge photography and video....this is the sort of over protective society we have inherited. I say its time to rebel against to many rules, sensible...

Just checking to see peoples views. Both the new Karma and Mavic specs are showing 14000-16000 altitude rating. Are these operating altitudes? I assume both new models are restricted to the 500 Metre (16,460 ft) fly to limit we experience on other drones. I know people frown upon higher...

How can they claim 14000 feet altitude when we are all restricted to 500 metres!!!!

Have you seen the specs? They claim Karma go go up to 14000 feet lol....is it not restricted to 500 metres like the rest of us

I have Litchi on my phone and dji go on a separate tablet. No conflicts there! Tend to use Litchi as primary.

Stay away from non dji batteries...either won't work or cause failure....I manage my batteries really well and have no probs

Yes it can be tricky first time. I leave a polarizer on pretty well all the time. Neutral density in the mountains over snow.

Learn to fly at night....best practice as you will learn the sticks. Forget the prop guards learn to hand catch, fly a lot....mine is in its back pack case in my car 24-7 ready to go...manage your batteries well...calibrate machine regularily...plan your flights....trust the technology and be...

Buy a new drone....get rid of the wife.

Name your drone lol very queer concept....this is a high tech piece of hardware not yer frigging pet lol
