I am interested in buying DJI Phantom FC40 Drone. FC 40 provides live feed option using your android or apple app+phone.
Anyone ever tried any thing like this?
What options do i have other then DJI?
PS: i know its not important but i should still ask this… are they legal in Canada?
Re: DJI Phantom

Re: DJI Phantom
So then you ARE buying it?
I will buy it in summer after my trip. You know na watan wapas Jana sasta nahn hota:hehe:
Re: DJI Phantom
Sure do. Haven't been back in 8 years.
Re: DJI Phantom
Actually compared to going anywhere else on vacation, going to PK is pretty reasonable. Other than the expensive ticket everything else is mostly negligible. I took family out for a nice and filling dinner (about 8-10 people) and it barely went to $ 40
Re: DJI Phantom
Its just a quad-copter. You can either get this one or the Parrot Drone 2 (cheaper and controllable by a phone) for $300. That's the one i have my eye on. The Phantom is more stable, but its also bigger and almost double the price.

Thats right but all the gifts that I have take with me (and expected of me) are way too much for me to be able to justify a trip.

Re: DJI Phantom
In Canada, the laws are fairly straightforward. If your device weighs less than 35kg (or 77.2lbs), then it qualifies as a “model aircraft”. If your device weighs more than 35kg, AND/OR it is used for commercial purposes, then it qualifies as a UAV and is subject to more regulations. Most commercial quadcopters on the market, such as the DJI Phantom, weigh in at significantly less than 35kg. So, unless you plan on using your device for commercial purposes (i.e. you plan to make a profit using the device), then your device is considered a model aircraft.
“Model aircraft” devices can be flown for recreational purposes without any special license or training. Because of safety issues, it is recommended that children under 16 are supervised while using quadcopters. So for the majority of people, once you have your quadcopter built and ready to fly, you are free to use it without fear of legal action. Of course there are certain areas, such as government agencies, army bases, etc. that are obviously off-limits to quadcopters, but common sense should keep you out of trouble.
If your device weighs more than 35kg, or if you plan on using it for commercial gain, then you need a permit. You will need a Special Flight Operation Certificate (SFOC) if you plan on making money with your multicopter, regardless of size or weight. A SFOC is fairly easy to obtain, although the government does require you to give them a good deal of information, including when and where you plan on using the device. You can find detailed information concerning SFOC’s at Unmanned Air Vehicle (UAV) - Transport Canada

Re: DJI Phantom
If people expect gifts that costs more than one person's ticket then its nobody's fault but your own :)
One exception is if you have wife/fiance/gf or your children there. But I know you have your's living with you.
