Hello all from Vancouver Island Canada

[Mid Island Mike]

Hi everyone,
A brief history: Lots of Hours on RC's, cars, trucks, boats, then got bit by the flight bug in the early 2000's with the multi rotor helicopters, graduating to single rotors then progressing to drones. I currently am piloting the Phantom4 Pro plus with 70 plus logged flight hours, I must admit it has exceeded all of my expectations and I am very pleased with the 4K video.
I have had the opportunity to pilot the Inspire 2...What an amazing bird! It's next on my list.
As a professional Videograper/Photograper it has been a game changer to have the ability to take arial video or stills.
I am happy to say that I am fully licensed with Transport Canada, acquiring my ROCa (restricted operator certificate Aeronautical) , also I am carrying 100k in UAV insurance, the minimum required by Canadian law.
I look forward to conversing with like minded peeps.

Welcome to the forum. Spent 3 weeks on Vancouver Island this past summer - such a beautiful part of the country. Would love to live there and fly my P3S and Spark, but will have to settle for the area in and around Barrie, Ontario.

We are also having one of those wacky winters again - early snow this year but the temps have been up and down. Yesterday we got about 6cm of snow and it was around -3ºC, today it is pouring rain and +3ºC.

Here's a shot from yesterday.
