Hey guys, Canadian drone laws are ridiculously strict, I found some new dji spark footage that looks pretty awesome considering that it might be one of the last ones we will see from Canada.

What's illegal anout this footage? There's nothing obviously restricted, such as airport airspace, military bases, utility plants, government offices, etc. Not even close to any private residences, stadiums, or anything else that would be an obvious concern.

unfortunately in Canada to fly 20m above highways, railways and power lines is illegal.

I hope all of those bitching and complaining about the 400 feet (121.92 meters) "ceiling" in the US take note of the fact that there are a lot more restrictions in place outside the US. Compared to 20 meters (65 feet, 7.402 inches), 400 feet is stratospheric. And the "line of sight" distance restriction here is a prize. When you realize that although it might be relatively tight in an urban or suburban environment, it is literally to the "vanishing point" where you can no longer see it with your naked eyes, out in open country. Which in some cases is well beyond control range. Keep in mind, that while these are FAA regulations at this point, cities, counties, and states are free to adopt the FAA regulations as actual law, and criminalize violations. So far to my knowledge, none have resorted to that option, yet....
