Some time ago I bought my first drone, not knowing how to use it, or even that I had to resister it. Of course I hadn't heard of a drone license neither. That drone flew away, out of my control after only the third flight.
Thankfully I didn't give up on drones. Today I hold an advanced Canadian small RPAS license and enjoy drones as a hobby, as well as my new business.

Drones are awesome, but more and more it seems like there are two kinds of people. Those who have a drone (or more), and those who are concerned about their privacy the moment they see one.
What are the legal and moral implications of flying over people’s private properties?

Basic Drone License in Canada, why even bother?

Why bother with the Basic Canadian Drone License (RPAS Pilot Certification), when you can fly a micro drone without ever passing any test, pretty much unrestricted? In this video I explain why learning about the eight knowledge areas for the Canadian RPAS license makes sense, even for recreational pilots who may never want to get a drone that weighs 250 grams or more. Find out how easy it is to...

Drone Registration in Mexico, Yes or No?
Просмотров 1695 месяцев назад
You are definitely allowed to fly a sub 250 gram drone in Mexico as a foreigner. But what about the slightly bigger drones like the Air and Mavic series from DJI, for example. Mexican rules say that they need to be registered and it’s unclear whether foreigners can do that. I recently spent a lot of time flying my Mini 2 in Mexico and got good results, but I was also facing some of the limitati...

Flying a Drone in the City, Example Edmonton, Alberta
Sir !!!! This is an excellent video. We have been using this drone to help film our house build. Had a little mishap and couldn’t figure out why the gimbal wouldn’t move, he lies the problem. Your video was extremely easy to follow and very, very helpful! I’m pretty mechanically inclined, but I don’t like pulling on thin pieces of plastic, especially when they feel like they are going to break. You’ve gained a new subscriber for sure.😊🎉
Please give me a break drone 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
Hallo bro please give me a dron 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
One thing I always do is rotate left or right first to see if there is anything there before taking a video moving sideways....but....you can still miss wires!
The question I always ask myself.....how close is it?.....really.....
I have so many clips just clearing wires, and a couple not clearing. 😦
Kind of scary, isn't it? Is your drone still okay?
@@TheOneDroneMan Yup, scary seeing how many near misses and power lines I went in-between without knowing, but this little mini Pro3 is tougher than it looks, just needed to replace props. Using Master Screw SS
Man my neighbor tripped out because i was flying an fpv drone around her front yard (i was actually over the street hovering). Cops told her to mind her own business. 😂
There are definitely some drone "Karens" out there. I've had some drunk guy come up to me while I was on the beach in Mexico, capturing the sunset. He said I was too close to his balcony.
I have talked to the Federal Aviation Dept here in Mexico and was told quite clearly that no non Mexican can fly a drone, regardless of weight here. The laws changed back in about 2020 because of tourists abusing the no fly laws. I live here in Mexico and do fly my DJI Mini's quite a lot. But I always make it a point to be-friend a policeman of some kind before I do. The local police especially will confiscate your drone so they can resell it. The paper work shown on other videos are from 2019, laws change here just like any where else.
I've asked police officers on numerous occasions if it would be okay to fly my drone. I never had a problem and have flown (the Mini 2) many times. Sure, laws do change. I always try to inform myself before every trip, but haven't found this change you're referring to.
Why do you have to do so much when only one cabel is broken?
I went to Mexico in 2023 and thought I couldn't fly for commercial use which would have been the case if they determine RUclips commercial use. The resort also had a no drone restriction. The import tax is just a shakedown to get money out of you. They say if you paid it once keep the receipt as you shouldn't have to pay it again on a future trip. It didn't seem to be worth the hassle and you always run the risk of some police officer that doesn't know the confusing regulations either confronting you and you end up losing your drone or paying a bunch of money to get to keep it. I didn't even bother taking my drone to Mexico.
The question of RUclips being considered commercial use, at a reward of $ 2 per day, or perhaps stock footage, it's a bit of a concern, but so far no one is checking on that. I will stick to taking my old Mini 2. 😉
Nice video thanks for sharing and now I'm your new subscriber please stay connected and have a great day ❤️
I see so many cases of this ribbon snapping in the Mini 2 (including mine), that it seems to be a design flaw. Also, I did this ribbon repair on my Mini 2 and it said I needed a firmware update. I think I am going to look at other brands if I want a new drone.
Recently had to do this repair on my mini 2 as well. From looking at it before taking the cable out I think the rubber gimbal mounts are allowing too much movement potentially due to the rubber stretching with age. Mine is at about 3 yrs old now. While I was replacing the cable I replaced the rubber gimbal mounts and the new ones are a lot firmer and don’t allow as much movement.
Good job well done
Thank you 🙂
Thank you, very informative! Cheers from Vancouver/Langley, CA
Glad it helped. Thanks for the thumbs up 😉
Yesterday I received this in response to my inquiry to the AFAC (Mexican FAA) about foreigners operating in Mexico. This reply was cc'd to the Executive Director of Aviation in Mexico and the Director of Engineering Standards and Certification. So officials from the top down had eyes on this email. "In response to your email received on April 20 of this year and based on section 4.10.16. of the Mexican Official Standard NOM-107-SCT3-2019, which establishes the requirements to operate a remotely piloted aircraft system (RPAS) in Mexican airspace, I inform you that RPAS operations by foreigners are not allowed in Mexico, regardless of the weight of the aircraft or the intended use of it. I add the aforementioned numeral for quick reference 4.10.16. They will not be able to operate in Mexico an RPAS with foreign registration or registration or operated by foreign RPAS operators, other than those mentioned in section 4.10.15 of this Standard Mexican Official, unless there is a bilateral agreement between the Aeronautical Authority and the Aviation Authority. Civil Aviation of the state of registration/registration." So Mexico is a no fly zone for foreigners... So now I'm applying for Mexican citizenship and I'm going to bring down a drone that my mexican partner can fly, with my guidance, while the application is in work.
I have my own take on that. Posting video shortly. Thanks for sharing!
The AI characters, at least in my opinion, makes the video unwatchable. Extremely uncanny and disturbing.
Sorry to disappoint you. Sometimes my ideas aren't the greatest. just trying to make it more entertaining. Thanks for sharing.
Appreciate your video\work and experience sharing here. I believe it's pretty clear reading the nom-107-sct3-2019-201119.pdf specially the 5.5.1, NOTA+1 and even looking into the text of form "K" explicitly says you don't need a registration for drones under 250g. I'll take my DJI Mini 3 Pro and I'll take your advice or taking the regulations printed just in case we need to have a conversation.
Thank you. Yes, that's exactly what I do. Recently I've heard a lot of people mention that they've had to pay a tax when entering Mexico. This seems to happen mostly in Cancun (I never had a problem there). I'd tell them that the drone isn't going to stay in Mexico, but I'm not sure if that would work. Might be a "gringo BS tax".
@@TheOneDroneMan indeed, noticed several videos and comments on them of people stating they were asked to pay 10 of 16% of the drone cost. The truth is, even if you have to have this chat with them, they are the authorities and I'm not sure how much I'm wiling to discuss the topic. I'm going to travel with two kids and if ever I'm questioned about that I'll ask where that is written, I'll show them their regulations and hope for the best. Being Portuguese, I'm fluent in Spanish, so that may help as well. Let's see. To be honest, I'm more concerned with the delays on getting the luggage out from the courrassel than other thing. Did you experience recently delays on getting the bags?
@@psadeazevedo I had no problems at all. We had direct flights from Canada most recently. My Spanish is okay and it seems to help a lot, for sure.
@@psadeazevedo Thanks for commenting. I'm posting a video, commenting on that very subject. I have not had any trouble and trust you won't neither, especially if you speak Spanish.
Hi there do I need a canadian basic drone license to go in canadian airport going to asia vacation trip?
Nope, but you'll need a passport and an airline ticket. Hope hat answers it 😆
@@TheOneDroneMan Thank you.. hehehhehe. I appreciate it.
Truee 💪
Good video 👍
3:47
Sensible advice. I noticed they were operating the drone on a road, near water, near power lines, had no line of sight etc. An accident waiting to happen since they had no to little experience. Hope they had extended DJI care. Thanks for the video
Exactly! That's why I decided to make the video. Prevent bad things from happening! Thank you 😉
Thank you!
Hi, thanks for all your efforts here. Before seeing your video I asked the Mexican authorities and just received a reply. While I can transit with a 249g drone I am not able to use it as a Foreigner, based on numeral 4.10.16. of the Official Mexican Standard NOM-107-SCT3-2019 regardless of weight and even though I am commercially recognised in the EU, AU and Jpn with a global insurance policy
Did you read Rule number 5.1.1 part a? It says that all drones over 025 kg need to be registered. If your drone weighs 248 grams it doesn't apply. They don't really count here. Sure, you could get picky and count them as drones and I guess someone could nail you, but I think if you behave well in the real world, you'll be fine.

No worries, hope it helped in some way 🙂
"Running before they can even walk" I wouldn't even dream of trying out this option before taking a few months to get some basic flights under my belt!
You missed the most IMPORTANT part of the take-off....THE POWER LINES right next to the launch site!
Does that mean I can just bring my 249g mini 4 to Mexico as a tourist?
Yes you can. Happy flying 👍
I'm sorry but the " click on me " button makes you look like Freddy from Night mare on Elm street.
LOL. But did it work?
Excellent video George! Since they purchased a DJI drone, then they should’ve also bought the DJI Care Refresh insurance, especially on a first time expensive drone. It would have saved them a big repair headache and bill! Plus, they could pick the brains of the DJI support folks with any questions regarding how to properly fly their drone and safety tips. Thanks to you and the lady and her boyfriend for sharing their maiden flight and crash. It sure did take a lot of guts to share it. Ed W. Nova Scotia, Canada
Thank you. Yes, the care refresh is a good idea, but there is a lot you can do to prevent crashes in the first place.
I am going to Mexico next week. This is great news!
Good for you! I'm a bit envious having just returned to cold Alberta Canada. Enjoy! 👍
They ll all do it . There isn’t a single one out there that won’t fly away or lose connections imho . Not even dji , the disconnect too
I apologize for the poor sound. My Tascam DR 10 L was having issues.
The sound was fine mate 👍🤝

Beautiful destination! and hey there's a car from Ontario at 18 seconds.... i guess they drove down.... they aren't exporting stolen cars to Mexico as far as I know! :)
Quite a few Canadians seem to be driving down every winter. I guess it has the advantage of enhanced mobility, but wow, a long drive for sure 🙂
Amazing
Thank you 🙂
Thanks for this information bro! Very helpful!!
Glad you found it useful. Thank you 🙂
Mini 2 is a great drone i love mine
Yes, it really is! 👍
I recently upgraded from the mini 2 se to a mini 3 pro and I have to say it's so worth the upgrade, Don't get me wrong the 2 is a sweet little scouting drone and does great work for it's price, But the 3 pro is just incredible! I say yeah go for the 3 pro with the screen controller you won't regret it and you can scout a scene with the 2 and then fully film or photograph it with the 3 pro. The 3 also performs much better at night with that bigger sensor and the wider aperture range too. Orbits are a piece of cake thanks to the spotlight mode too. The dcine profile is more flexible when colour grading too.
Good to know! Thank you 🙂
8:51 6....be careful flying in sub zero conditions which could affect your aircraft 😊 or any other extreme conditions
This sort of thing is probably a serious problem with cheap drones, without the signal from the controller it could pick up spurious RF signals, most more expensive ones will go into RTH in the event of signal loss
Makes sense. Cheap drones are probably not worth buying, but I can understand why people do. Been there 😆
It's time for you to upgrade to the Mini 4 Pro, way better footage at night - interesting video and thanks for sharing.
That's a budget issue. At home I have the Air 2 S and my advanced Canadian license. But you are correct, the Mini 3 or 4 would be nice. thanks for watching.
I use the Mini 4 Pro quite a bit since Remote ID hit the US, and I was still waiting on the Remote ID module for my Autel EVO 2 Pro to arrive. I'm pretty impressed by how it handles the wind. I droned a few skyscrapers here in Chicago before Christmas where it gets pretty windy up there. I also flew the Chicago River on a day with 22kts gusting 37kts and I couldn't believe how that little Mini 4 Pro handled it. I never owned the Mini drones before...
It makes total sense. When I first got this Mini 2, I was blown away, but it's an older model now. Thanks for sharing!
^wayy better 💪
Hmm, I'll have to save my money then, I guess. Thanks for sharing 🙂
Yeah it’s better I have a dji 2 and the dji 3 mini pro
Thank you 😉
I'm not convinced that VLOS is even helpful. I have a Potensic Atom which is very easy to fly and I understand where it is all the time because of its FPV. I also have a cheap non-FPV drone and, even when it's still in the VLOS, I can't tell whether it's facing me or facing some other direction. So when I push it forward, it's not easy to tell quickly whether it's moving toward me or away from me. I'm pretty sure I'll eventually lose it because of that. Feels a little dangerous to even fly it.
I agree 100%. In Canada VLOS is supposed to mean that you can see the drone without visual aids. I think in the US it actually means something else, like being able to know where your drone is and having an unobstructed path to it. Don't quote me on that though. Thanks for sharing!
Great video - many thanks. Couldn’t agree more. I’ve got a Mini 4 Pro and am heading to Merida/Progreso in Yucatan for the first time. Am I OK to bring my drone? I’ve been flying for decades (my first was the AR Drone!), so understand risks.
Yes, absolutely! Progreso is an awesome area to fly. You have the ocean and also the lagoons. There are airplane tours of the area though, so just be aware of airplanes potentially popping up.
Just found your channel. Love it and we go to Mexico at least twice a year from the USA. I took my mini 2 to Cancun but it was way to windy so I just flew a little bit above the waves. Thanks for the info!
Thank you for watching and sharing. I hope you'll get some nice shots on subsequent trips. Wind can be a real challenge on the ocean.
Really appreciate this video - great sunset shot. Love your caution and pursuit of great shots. Also appreciate you calling the other pilot out. I think it's important for us to self-monitor with respect for each other. While we can say "he should have known ..." sometimes people just aren't thinking. (And unfortunately sometimes they just don't care - which puts our whole hobby at risk.)
Yes, definitely. It almost seems like some pilots have unlimited faith in the technology and 90 % of the time they get away with risky flying because technology saves them. But we all know that it can and will fail, usually at the worst time. Thanks for your encouragement!
