Questions people ask

Do I need to register a camera drone in Canada?
Drones weighing 250 grams to 25 kilograms have to be registered with Transport Canada, and the pilot needs a drone pilot certificate. Drones under 250 grams skip both steps, but the basic flying rules still apply.
What is a gimbal and does a camera drone need one?
A gimbal is a motorized mount that keeps the camera level while the drone moves. It makes video much smoother, so it matters most for someone who plans to film.
