G'day guys,

We often get asked about our recommendation on buying a drone for travelling in Aus - there's lots to consider and a pretty wide range of drones available. I hope this vid helps you decide on whether a drone is for you.

    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 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.
  • @WesternElmnts
    Great vid mate 🤙🏼 I run a pro platinum and a Poseidon. Good fun and handy for flying ahead on tracks saves walking 😂
  • @margojohn604
    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!.
  • @ronhughes1805
    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.
  • 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
  • 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 🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻
  • 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!!
