Hey Cam great informative episode, pleased to see little Chloe and Tiff in the background, can’t wait till your all back on the road really missing your regular updates. Keep up the great work !!👍👍👍

Great vid mate ,people should learn from what u do ,straight to the point ,no BS and easy watching 👍👍

Awesome demo Cam, you’ve given hubby many tips! Cheers mate 👌

Great to see a new video, Thanks for info on drones as currently looking to purchase for our big lap 👍😃

Great vid mate and it’s nice to hear a review based totally on experience. Bloody good onya

Great video cam love watching your videos so informative and interesting looking forward to seeing your car build

Your drone usage is spot on with great interesting photography. We have a navy base near us and so drones are prohibited over quite a large area but that doesn’t stop some idiots. Until you mentioned it I had forgotten about the our past dogs minefields.

Good onya Cam great Video as always and great and informative. Getting an Air 2 as well and this video just confirmed I have made the right choice. Thanks Mate

Been thinking about getting a drone for a long time but awhile back things got pretty crazy as you said. Back to thinking about getting one now and have my eye on the Mavic 2 Fly More. After watching your vid and speaking with a couple of mates thats the one I'm going to get. Great vid mate no tech mumbo jumbo BS straight to the point and easy to follow.

Great vid mate 🤙🏼 I run a pro platinum and a Poseidon. Good fun and handy for flying ahead on tracks saves walking 😂

Great informative video Cam. Thanks

Great informative vid, as always. Thanks for highlighting that there are many layers of governance over drone legal drone use and not necessarily consisent across state borders. Absolutely do your research before just popping a drone up and setting off! Nice touch including this dog minefield misstep, having three dogs ourseles, we had a good laugh over that one. Been there, stepped in that ourselves!.

Excellent video old mate. Enjoying following your content.

Really good info Cam, thanks :)

Great review Cam. I’ve had the Mavic Pro Platinum since it’s release and still going great, just waiting for the Mavic 3 to be released then I’ll upgrade. I purchased an iPad mini to use instead of my phone plus it doubles for main Off-road navigation.

Great informative video mate....I do love my DJI drone - I can also add that in my opinion it is well worth purchasing the initial insurance that DJI offer. When I crashed my MP2 DJI were amazing at sending me a replacement very quickly!! I must admit when you stepped in the dog turn i smelt it all the way from here!!

Well presented Cam 🤙

Love the DJIs. Onto my second. I’m glad you mentioned the rules and regulations around drones. See too many people doing the wrong thing and I fear it’s going to make it hard for everyone who does the right thing.

Hey Cam, great info, thanks for that! It can be so hard to know if you are doing the right thing when it comes to flying your drone

As someone who'd never had a drone before, we bought the mini mavic about a year ago - and it's been so good!! Such a great entry point, and we haven't felt too restricted with the basic model! Would love to upgrade at some stage - but it's a want and not a need! Did you see DJI's new FPV drones - they look insane!

Yer your back good on you cam 💪🏼🇦🇺👍🏽👌🏼

Another awesome video 💯👌😊

Excellent vid. Thanks mate

Hi Cam, great video mate. I still wouldn’t buy a MA2 over the M2P though. I think the camera on the pro is worth every cent IMO 😜 Looking forward to your next upload mate 🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻

Thank you so much for this, it was very helpful.

Great clip, very good info Thanks.

Great vid man. Big help for me.

Top advice Cam - cheers.

Thank you, i've just been given a mavic as a birthday present and didn't know where to start :-)

Nicely explained Thanks for that. Cheers.

Another good and informative video. I have a Mavic Pro with not so many sensors great drone though. Have a couple of Gopro's and mounts for the fix wing Jabiru cheers

Great summary of what's what.

Geat vid, Cam. Cheers

Cheers mate, just got the same drone as u. Good info!

Hanging out for the "Blooper Reel" Episode! Also the "Cutting Room Floor" and "Producers Edit" ! Lots of work ahead for the Wilds!

Thank you. Really helpful.

This is a great review. Thanks heaps.

Interesting and informative, thanks.

DJI are incredibly stable. My magic mini will launch itself and fly to 1.2 m or 4 ft and stay there in hover. Small movements on the controls move it slowly. They are very stable.

I have the Mavic Pro and not lost it yet. Stuck it into a tree while trying to land while talking to a person- first lesson learnt. Second time was ignoring the low battery warning and it did.an emergency landing in the middle of scrubland- 30mins of panic search I found it

Thanks Cam great vid. Could you possibly do an editing video for drones? We have the DJI Magic Pro but not really good on the editing side of things! Thanks again, ps love the new tinnie

Would like to see a Vid on how your previous drones came to an end. So we can all learn :-)

Great info, thanx

Very useful, thanks

I have a Mavic Air and using a phone i had a lot of trouble viewing the screen on a sunny day, so i bought an Crystal Sky monitor and it is great, problem solved, and the screen is bigger but they are expensive.

Good explanation, i hope dji sponsore you. Not only as an avid user but for your detail in all conditions. Thank you.

thanks for the info bud. i'll go for a dji for sure.

I love that you don’t over do drone footage in your videos. It’s nice to enhance the view of your location but hands down what makes the videos is the talking and close up video of what you’re actually doing at the time.

Sweet 👍 Thanks man 🍻

Awesome very well done and just as point of interest I started back in RC video and photography in the mid 90s using RC aircraft and helicopters as I had been flying RC for well over 40 year. Although I got into drones on their conception with the idea of doing video and photography work professionally as a business. I soon gave up on the idea as every man and his dog took up on the same concept, hence the need for Casa to introduce such strict rules $$$. I believe this happened because unlike normal Rc aircraft that took great skill to master, were-as the sophistication and technology of operation systems in drones made it so much easier for people to become competent flyer from day one, compared to normal RC aircraft that took a few years to master. I was actually offended that I would need to hav a license and take a test to continue to do what I had been doing for some time prior to the introduction of drones. Oh well it's all part of life and I am just about to look at getting back into it now the excitement has died down and people have drifted away from the original rush. Just my thoughts Cheers

hey I have a mavic pro 2 zoom, love it but only just starting to edit, what do you guys use for the editing of the videos and also do you use default settings or play around with light etc..

Very nice & very informative video, mate!👍👍 Quick question though, do we need to register our drone with CASA($40 annual fee) to fly our drone recreationally (for fun)? I’m from Victoria. Thank you!🙏

Fantastic, informative video Cam! I bought exactly the same drone and package as you....Mavic Air 2 Fly More. My first drone ever and i am blown away with its capabilities! I'm also an RC pilot and have been building and flying large scale rc planes for over 10 years and you can't actually say that you "fly" these drones! They really fly themselves! Super easy to control with their built in 3 axis gyroscopes and GPS and obstacle avoidance systems. Psycho technology really. It is an absolute pleasure to put up in the air and like you.....along with my rc aircraft which i have MAAA insurance and a licence and club membership for, i will always have a drone in my arsenal! Game changing they are. Super impressed. Thanks for sharing this great video mate and opening up people's eyes to some of the important things regarding drones. You're a legend! Keep up the excellent work Cam.

G’day mate, nice info thanks. Well i know a lot has changed sine you made that video but the rules for WA which you mentioned seemed to be still in place ( quick glance at the casa website) Question I am about to buy my first DJI Drone ( it’s either the Air 2s or the new Mini 3 Pro ) Either way that night time rule is understandable as you must fly with the Drone always in line of sight 🥴🤷‍♂️. However I will be in the middle of bum fuck in WA and need to fly sometime at night to spot intruders on my lease or just to check if anyone is around. No granted this is probably difficult to do but figured if a pre plotted course is set that should be possible right? Now the other questions is can CASA or any other authority see that I did fly at night and hence fine me or whatever 🥴 It might be a stupid question but given that a sub 250 drone for right now doesn’t need registration ( that will change As of 2023 i believe) or in case of the Air 2s which is above that and i think registration is required…is there an alrt or something that the authorities get if a drone is launched at night? I am really curious about that and would appreciate if you could shed some light on this for me Cheers Jim

Great video Cam we’re looking at getting one soon for our trip away. An you tell me what model phone you need to connect to the drone with or rather what year.... I have an iPhone 6 and it’s not compatible with the new GoPro 9 that I bought 😢lol I know I should update my phone but right now I’m spending money on other toys. Cheers

We certainly recommend DJI drones BUT I am not a fan of their apps. We switched to the Litchi app which is very powerful and also easy to learn. It works with the older DJI drones as well such as the Phantom 3 and effectively turns the P3 into a P4.

Hi Cam. Like the hair. Now i seriously want a drone. Hi Chloe. Godspeed.

I got a little drone with a potato for a camera. It was very unstable so you just had to take videos and screen shot to get your photos.

How do I connect this with my mobile? Do I have to install the software? How does it lerform in the wind? Is it stable

The mavic air and pro models do. It’s an intelligent flight mode called ‘active track’. It’s honestly been pretty useless in previous models- looses the car at speeds over 15kph. But I hear it’s improved a lot in these newer models so looking forward to trying it.

I think the mavic pro has a better camera and gimbal setup, giving a greater range of movement of the camera, and is more stable in higher winds. Good video. Alot of people ask for drone recommendations and many people put forth the cheap crap. If you want a drone u obviously enjoy photography so the money has to be spent to get one that utilizes all features that can b afforded to photographic drone use. Dji the only way to go.

GREAT informational video! I was watching a channel I subscribe to, and according to her, the FAA here in the US does not require a license to fly it as long as it is under 500 grams weight (about 1.1 lbs) BUT if you are using it in the course of monetizing your YT channel, a license is required. Is that a requirement in AU? Seems like a bit of overreach on the part of the FAA, but there it is.

Auto focus setting. With early version 1 (mavic pro etc) u had to press on your screen to correctly set auto focus. Yes it works without doing it, but it makes the vision sharp. U often see people who put up drone footage and mention it to them and they are not aware of it. Do you still have to do this for version 2 drones. It is actually mentioned in the user manual for Mavic Pro. The easy way to see it, even evident in your drone footage here, the trees as u fly over are not super sharp focus. Try it next time you fly and see if it makes a difference with version 2 drones. On my drone you also have to do it when you switch between video and photo. I just get into habit of pressing on screen before every photo. I have been flying my drone for over 3 years. Currently up to 521km total flight time, just under 59 hours and 310 flights. Only had 2 near miss's. Both operator error. Don't try to descend to look at something and forget there is a hill between u. Also, set return home level above hills. Otherwise it hovers there cause it cant return. was 5m too high.

I think SA has similar rules for flying drones, not allowed in national parks unless you purchase a permit to fly. The Bunda Cliffs on the Nullarbor is a big one for having to have a permit. Lots of people aren’t aware they need a permit to fly their drones over the cliffs for that epic shot.. I’m saving my pennys for one. I have a cheap drone and it’s so hard to fly and control.

Paid permits sounds like revenue raising, as much as anything. But as long as the permits can be purchased on the spot, then it doesn’t sound too bad for a tourist passing through. This would be alot better than submitting a form to the NP and waiting a week for No / Yes / Yes but with Restrictions.

If you fly ANY drone for commercial purposes meaning you are getting financially rewarded, you are required by law to have the drone registered and hold a commercial drone licence to do so.

To have something that is so easy to fly and with that footage quality for the price is insane. The majority of the laws sound like common sense. But there will always be a few elements that are over the top. Better than having a free for all.
