even that alberta parks statement is bogus. it is "not allowed" but no reference to any document whatsoever. Just making up their own policies about something they have no control over.

and then go on to say only if in accordance with TC regulations. Well its not hard in such a massive area! probably the best place on earth to use a drone and the safest!

That was a direct screen shot from the Alberta Parks website. Days after I got mine, a hiker got a huge ($2000 or something) fine for using his drone in a provincial park (Kananaskis outside Calgary) and it was on the news and such. Maybe you could fight it in court, maybe you can't but everything that I am seeing, it's not "allowed"

Reading more into it they can’t legally stop you from flying over a provincial park but landing and taking off in the park they can apparently enforce. Sneaky

It's unfortunate because I bought mine to chase me through the trails on the SxS and dirtbike

Lots of choices. I have not used to follow in the sxs yet. I have mostly done real estate pictures. Also some farm pictures and acreages. Bought mine more for commercial use.

I think that is why all the rules. A lot of people have them as toys. Best to go way out on crown land to fly as toy. Not in town.

Yes they can, the mavic Pro seems too be the one but 1400 bucks is pricey

Those look good and not too big. My Inspire 2 is really large compared to the Mavic.

Our work drone was a crazy price with a flir on it.

Last winter when I was working in the bush a consultant had one I really liked, he said it was about 1100 bucks at Costco but I don’t know what brand it was, worked really good
