I think the laws have really put a damper on mid sized quads like the DJI brand for example. Anything over 250g is susceptible to very restrictive laws here in Canada. Although indoor racing with 'Tiny Whoops' seems to be very popular now.

Quoted from Yelobird:Been flying a DJI Mavic Pro for a few years now. Hands down one of the best and user friendly dones out there. I have taken it on long range tests exceeding 4 miles out with no loss of video or connection. The technology in these new units is crazy.

As much as I hate the rules, flying in/over the populated areas, parks or out of field of view is now illegal here in Canada. Before the rules/laws were in place I would fly at night and do long range stuff too. It was fun to do at the time, but things are different now. It just takes 1 complaint and you can be in trouble.
But, anything under 250g is exempt from the laws so that still leaves room for FPV and Tiny Whoops...

Quoted from tacshose:When you really dig into these "drones as aircraft" interpretations, there is no way anybody is getting prosecuted for shooting down a Drone in your backyard.
Unless you're in Canada... They won't care about the drone in that case.
