Am I the first to crash a Mini 5 Pro? I decided to try ActiveTrack today—despite the fact that the two YouTube reviews I watched both had crashes. Maybe that was a sign. LOL. I biked to the new section of trail connecting Morningside Park to the Meadoway at Ellesmere. It’s a gorgeous stretch...

Survey completed. :) :

I use a SanDisk Extreme Pro 128 GB. Works fine in my Mini 3 Pro....

I realize we all take slightly different approaches when it comes to following the Canadian Aviation Regulations for drone operations. I'm not trying to lecture anyone, but I do think it worth reminding ourselves how important it is to be extra cautious when flying in a busy aviation...

September 30 @enter username got me curious. Looks like a cyclist on the bridge in this shot.

Thanks! I shot it using Automatic Exposure Bracketing (AEB — 5 frames) at 50 MP. Each exposure used a different shutter speed, so there’s varying motion blur in the train. It was moving pretty fast, so in that burst the train shifts position in every frame. I also used VIA Rail’s ‘Follow...

September 30 First light at the Highland Creek bridge today.

September 28 I was testing out my new drone over the Highland Creek bridge on the Waterfront Trail, wasn't expecting a Via to slide into the frame. Figured I'd drop it here. :)

Uh oh is right! My Mini 5 Pro weighs 252.85 grams. So to fly it within the Class C controlled airspace requires the drone to be registered with TC and the operator to hold a Drone Pilot Certificate - Advanced Operations plus a Special Flight Operations Certificate (SFOC) issued by Transport...

Had to downsize the 50 MB originals to fit UT’s 15 MB limit. Not sure what railings are being referred to, but maybe these help?

September 25 Finally caught a break in the weather for a drone update on the East Don Trail bridge work.

Apologies if this video is a bit long and may be a little dry, but it gives a solid overview of Transport Canada's drone regulations. All drone operations in Canada are regulated by Transport Canada, so it's worth taking the time to watch this before you start flying your new drone. The...

There are lots of opinions out there, but my impression is that most of us UT drone pilots are flying DJI products. For someone starting out, I'd suggest looking at the sub 250 gram models - they're exempt from most Transport Canada regulation and licensing requirements (other than the obvious...

Excellent choice...you're going to love flying the Mini 5 Pro! Also, an FYI, the Transport Canada Drone Portal has been out of service since September 10 which meant I couldn't register mine for flights with the Plus battery (I have both the Plus and the 249g). But you're in luck - it just...

Spotted in my backyard - wings out after the rain.

The eagle has landed... :)
