Fly safe! Da Nang is a bit of a weird one. There’s an airport right in the middle of it, so you won’t be able to fly in the city much. But there are lots of beautiful mountains around, good spot for drone shooting

@byalexmedia7682 3 месяца назад

This is a super helpful video and thank you for sharing this in-depth. I'm flying to Vietnam next month to Ho Chi Minh City and arriving at Tân Sơn Nhất Int. Airport, I was wondering if you know how strict they are there. I'm carrying a Mavic Pro (big one). Anything would be appreciated.

@alrightanton 3 месяца назад

Never flown to that airport but will actually do in two weeks time. My anticipation is that nothing is gonna happen. Owning a drone in Vietnam is legal so I don’t think they can stop you just for owning own. There might be some challenges in flying it, Vietnamese police is really inconsistent when it comes to drones. But most of the times you should be just fine

@jason_drone 3 месяца назад

Nice video thanks for the tips! What framerate and shutter speed did you use for your footage, I'm torn between using 60fps/120 or 24fps/50 or 30fps/60 ? Also, I guess using a mini 4 pro should help not making too much noise compared to bigger drones right ?

@alrightanton 3 месяца назад

Ah I usually stick to 24/48 as it is the most cinematic. Your use 60fps only if you wanted to slow it down in post and veeery few people use slow motion in drone footage. Theoretically it could be used at very low altitidue passing shots but that’s a very low fragment of video making. Most of the time the drones fly so high and slow that you’d actually be more likely to speed up your footage than slow it down

@jason_drone 3 месяца назад

@@alrightanton Thanks for the answer dude, I appreciate it. On my videos i've always used 24fps / 50 but I've seen many cases where you get a slight jerky effect when flying close to objects or fast panning in the background. Apparently going to 30fps/60 fixes this issue and everything is smooth, videos are showing this especially one called "The #1 Secret for CINEMATIC Drone Video without Judder, Stutter or Jerkiness" on youtube. So I'm probably going to try this for my next one in Vietnam/Cambodia.

@alrightanton 3 месяца назад

Hmm that's interesting, never really thought of doing that... I suppose for low pass, close to objects shots it can be quite useful... Though in my practice to be honest if there was some really tough environment to shoot at I think even a slow-mo wouldn't help that much. But yeah, it is something to consider. I imagine with fast moving objects it would look more cinematic and smooth too.

@keithhogg1963 Месяц назад

Very helpful thank you. Just recently moved to Vietnam. Considering a drone. But a lot of responsibility. How do you do with airports?

@alrightanton Месяц назад

You’re welcome! To be honest I’m very never had any problems in the airports. People in the comments have shared similar feelings. I’ve flown from various airports in Vietnam and it doesn’t seem like the authorities care much about the drones. It’s not illegal to own them here. You have to be careful where you fly it but just carrying it around appears to be just fine

Heya, buying a drone in Vietnam is not a problem, you’d easily find it and it will be reasonably priced. I bought my first drone here: maps.app.goo.gl/SsdWtjBRCzCQEzFa8?g_st=ic but then the second one I just found on Facebook second hand which may be a better option.

@alrightanton 2 месяца назад

Heya. I think the best way will be to talk to your tour guides and see what they say. They are normally aware of these kind of things and can give some good advice. I often rely on locals, they have tourists traveling with their drones all the time and they are usually well aware of the common procedures.

Hello just watch your video, planning go to Vietnam and landing into Hanoi Airports on this April planning visit Sa pa, Ha Long Bay and Ho chi Minh but i want to bring my drone there are some post drone got confiscated on airports. What do you think about this? And planning to bring 2 drones Dji Avata and Dji Mavic 2 but im scared they will get confiscated haha, I really want to bring my drone to get some awesome footage in vietnam.

Heya! I don't think you will have any problems in Hanoi airport. I've flown in and out of Hanoi airport with my DJU Mavic 3 multiple times and never had any problems with it!

How do I bring it there tho? Just carry on or? Any tips?

@alrightanton 2 месяца назад

Just carry on. I’ve flown in and out multiple times now and no one seemed to really care about the drone. Drones are openly sold in Vietnam so I suppose just owning a drone doesn’t bother the authorities now. You may need to be careful flying it, yes, but carrying it doesn’t appear to be a problem anymore

@nj4057 2 месяца назад

Is it possible to rent a drone on Vietnam to use for the trip? , as the laws back home do not allow us to carry Drones in my current country of residence

@alrightanton 2 месяца назад

Mmm never really thought about that. Potentially… Could try to Google that but there might be a bit of a language barrier. What you could try is to get on those Facebook expat groups (for Hanoi its “Hanoi Massive” there are a few groups. I think one has been taken over by housing agents but the other is still functioning with real people , for Saigon I think it’s just “Hcmc expats” or something like that) Just possibly post there and see whether anyone responds. This could potentially work.

@letostinders4684 Месяц назад

Can you fly your drone at the Ban Gioc Waterfall?

@alrightanton Месяц назад

Oh I’d be careful there. Be seen footage from there. I suppose people do fly in that area. But it’s right on the border with China so I’d be super cautious about flying my drone. And officially if you get met by police they’ll probably immediately say no. It’s really tempting but I’d think twice before flying there.

But do you need a permit?

@alrightanton 4 месяца назад

Good question. A flying app will let you fly without any permission in most of the places in Vietnam. The city centre and other areas are an exception. I have seen sites where it says you need a permit but none of those sites look like official government websites so I can’t really trust them. Especially given that I’ve never seen anybody requesting it from any drone pilot here. Might be a case for flying a drone in restricted zones or big projects but for “recreational” photoshoot it doesn’t seem to be a case

@bilifafuuu6290 3 месяца назад

Hello Anton, I’m gonna fly to Vietnam in 2 weeks with my cinelog 35 v2 fpv drone that uses 6S lithium ion batteries (I’m taking with me 5 batteries). I’m really scared to take it with me because after some internet research I’ve done it says I need to register my drone. I’m scared that when I enter Vietnam (from Bali) I have problems in customs and the police just for bringing my drone without this permission even if I’m not flying it. I would appreciate to see your opinion in my situation and have the best advice from you the expert. Thanks a lot!

@alrightanton 3 месяца назад

Hey man, my opinion is that you should be just fine. I’ve flown in Hanoi international airport multiple times with my drone and never had problems, I’ve had other people here flying to Da Nang - no challenges. I think the chances are rather low that you will have any issues with it. It is hard to predict though. Vietnam has rather strict laws, most of the time they are not enforced, but sometimes depending on the police it may happen. That’s why no 100% guarantee really. Though I think you should be just fine, I would expect more challenges when flying it here. I wouldn’t do it in a very open public. People might freak out (I imagine your drone looks pretty impressive) and call the police and they will order you to stop your filming. But launch it further away from the crowds and you should be fine.

Hey man, for some reason everyone is so concerned about Da Nang airport😅 Well I can’t predict what the authorities will do this time, but I have flown from Da Nang to Nha Trang with my drone in a hand carry luggage and no one really cared about it. No one asked a single question. I’ve flown from Hanoi with my other , bigger drones and no one expressed much interest in my drone either. Funny enough they appeared to be more concerned about my power bank than about those massive batteries of my Mavic 3 drone😂

@philmaturanodrums 4 месяца назад

Thank you for the response Anton. Very much appreciated. It seems you are flying within the country though am I correct? Looks like international flights is the problem. Is it true?@@alrightanton

@alrightanton 4 месяца назад

Not sure about that. I've flown in and out of Vietnam multiple times now, did trips to Malaysia, Indonesia, the Philippines, all from Hanoi ariport and never really encountered any difficulties with that. My drone would usually be in my hand luggage, so on the way out theauthoroties don't really care about the drone beacause you're gonna fly it outside of Vietnam, while when you enter Vietnam on the way back, your stuff gets scanned in the country you are coming from, but then when you land in Hanoi, the hand luggage doesn't get checked. So there is no physical way they would even know what you're carrying. I've never done intrentation trips in/out of Da Nang though, so not sure how they handle it.

@philmaturanodrums 4 месяца назад

yeah that's the rub! International flights to Danang. The people there for some reason are notorious for seizing drones. I really don't understand why they should be able to seize someone's personal property. But corruption seems to be a reason as stories of extortion to get your drone back are all over the net. I guess flying into other cities internationally is ok but...Da Nang for some reason...they WILL take it if you fly international @@alrightanton

@alrightanton 4 месяца назад

Interesting. It is a good question why would they. Drones are not illegal to own in Vietnam. You can easily buy them in any shop here. Authorities may have questions about you flying it in some places but just transporting it I don’t see how legally they would be allowed to confiscate it. At the same time yes, bribery is a bit of a problem in this country. Situations differ from a city to city, e.g. traffic police normally doesn’t bother foreigners in Hanoi, while in Saigon the situation is right the opposite, foreigners get stopped frequently.
