[@ToniReviews]

Short but sweet. These weekly episodes make me want to jump on a plane with my kit and do this all over again!

Hi. Thanks so much @brentbat. That’s very kind of you ☺️

[@MotoCurmudgeon]

Amazing! What an adventure. I so appreciate when someone shares like you do. Most of us only dream about having such an adventure. Well done you. Can’t wait for more videos, of any type. Keep going! Keep doing you! Can’t wait for my sticker. Cheers.

That’s really nice of you to say, thanks for the support! There should be 9 episodes in this series- plus one long one I’ll put together of the whole trip. So far I think 6 episodes are currently available as I’m releasing them each week. Thanks again for the kind words of support 👍

Were you trying to get footage of the waterfalls? Did you have to pay a fine to get your drone back? I’m visiting in November

[@ToniReviews]

@@destinationdezz1588 no I didn’t fly it anywhere near the waterfall.min fact there is a no drone sign down at the waterfall. It was a very long and scary at times interrogation procedure.which lasted a few hours. In the end I asked for the embassy and not long after that I was released. If flying a drone make sure your not near any built up areas especially cities etc. tbh a drone could be used as an excuse to pull you so just be careful. Especially if you’re near the border. I wouldn’t fly if your very near the border as we were in ban gioc. That was a silly mistake on my part.

@@ToniReviews ok thank you! I’ve just seen tons of drone footage/videos of the waterfall! I’ve read drones are legal, but I guess not near the border! Thanks again

@@destinationdezz1588 they are ok to be flown but the police may use any excuse to pull you over. Also at the waterfall there is a clear sign of no drones. Being so close to the border (as the waterfall is both Chinese and Vietnamese) then you don’t want to end up in Chinese air space. I’ve seen drone footage there too, but there are clear signs no drones at that spot. You will seee when you go. It’s a shame I know as you want to capture memories. Drones are legal especially the smaller ones, but you just have to make sure it’s in open space and if there’s any signs then stick to that too. Which I did but still got pulled, so just be prepared if that does happen.
