#DonDronesOn #DronePilotAssociationOfCanada #DronePilotCanadaAutumn, Cape Breton Style: A Trip Along the World-famous Cabot Trail October 2025Don Joyce2025-10-26 | The Cabot Trail with Fall Leaves! OMG, these images do not do it justice! Filmed on Oct 11, 2025 with a DJI Mavic 4 Pro (when I could...it was INCREDIBLY windy at times!) and DJI Action 4 camera. The Cabot Trail is a gorgeous 298km highway in Nova Scotia, Canada, that winds around Cape Breton Island. The trail passes through Cape Breton Highlands National Park, which is a no-fly zone for drones. And a shout-out to Cape Breton resident, Warren Gordon, drone pilot and professional photographer who we met up with in the morning!! Check out his incredible work at gordonphotographic.com including 2026 Cape Breton calendars!

#DonDronesOn #DronePilotAssociationOfCanada #DronePilotCanadaHow much jail time will you get for flying a DJI Mini 5 Pro as a microdrone in Canada?Don Joyce2025-09-24 | Let's discuss the issue of the DJI Mini 5 Pro's weight issue, from the perspective of the regulations, enforcement, insurance, and life. PLEASE NOTE: The Article by DroneXL has unfortunately been declared incorrect by Transport Canada. They have officially stated that only drones actually weighing less than 250g are considered microdrones, and it is up to the pilot to weigh their drone. Here's an affiliate link to an accurate weigh scale (LOL): amzn.to/4mz1fUh
