    Very nice! I'm always impressed with footage the Mini produces. Love the orbit at the end. I really wanna start doing trips to fly around the David Thompson area. So many gorgeous spots!

      You're welcome, it's definitely worth it! If you decide to camp it gets very busy in the summer months and you won't have much privacy. I would recommend finding a spot away from the main camping area where I stayed.

    • @mattfitzgerald457
      @mattfitzgerald457  3 года назад +1

      Hello, I have a DJI Mavic Mini. It weighs 249g and therefore you don't need a drone certification to fly as it's under 250g. As for the area, it's crown land and not in a National or Provincial Park so you're good to fly!

      I don't recall the exact spot on a map but it was the main crown camping section of the lake, you know you're in the right place as there's a couple of porta potties down the road a bit once you turn off the highway.

    • @mattfitzgerald457
      @mattfitzgerald457  3 года назад

      Hi, I would recommend bringing a filter, I discovered little orange particles floating around in the water when I was there, also did not have any filtration setup which limited my use (washing dishes and bathing only).

      Hello, since this is crown land there are no campsites, the fun in coming here is that you can find your own place to camp at Abraham Lake. The main section is called the Abraham Lake viewpoint, that's where most campers enter and exit the lake but there are a lot of spots in other areas of the lake as well.
