Beautiful clip, and nice flying. The light was gorgeous!
It's very interesting to read of the compliance issues you have that have different nuances than we have 120 miles to the northwest, here on Vancouver Island. Transport Canada revisited our regulations last December, and the commercial drone folks seems to have gotten their ear again to try to massage the rules again. We're awaiting their latest updates.
We don't have the National Park rules and our regulations are national, rather than regional.
I've done a few commercial flights, but the required special flight operation certificate is a buttload of paperwork and the Transport Canada folks are so understaffed for the drone tsunami that processing an application, if approved without modification, can take a couple months.
It prompted me to shelve my P2 for several months and let my insurance lapse. I missed flying so much I got back on the saddle recently.
I fly regional and Provincial (our version of State Parks) parks when they are quiet of people and shoot tourism info clips, which fall into the recreational category.
Like Washington's coast, Vancouver Island has no shortage of aerial eye candy.
Have a buyer for my P2 and about to upgrade to P3P. Excited!
Here's a recent flight at Rebecca Spit Provincial Park, on Quadra Island, near Campbell River, 175 miles north of the Victoria. The sailboat in the intro belongs to a friend who wanted some shots.
This park's location at the northwest end of the open body of water between Vancouver Island and the mainland (Vancouver) means that the winter storms pile up the logging industry's driftwood along this little Island's beaches like nowhere else on our considerable coastline.
