    Is Mavic Air 2 Worth In 2024

    I’m still perfectly happy with mine. It’s pristine even though it’s well used and well travelled. It’s light years better than the 1 which I also fly occasionally.

    Beginner drone

    Drones are great for family photography. Tracking bikes is another story. You can forget long tracking shots. It’s going to be a steep learning curve to pull that off if ever. That being said, simple clips edited together are quite easy and can be done with almost any DJI drone. I’m sure there...

    Are you a Pilot or an Aviator?

    The FAA uses the term “Airman certificate”

    Passed the 107 Exam, Now how long is current wait for certificate?

    About six weeks generally. You should have been issued a temporary. The actual ticket is kind of cheapo compared to my others

    Heavy Lag

    When ADS B showed up on my Mavic air 2 the day it was mandatory at zero cost, I started to believe DJI could do anything. ADS B out was a minimum of 2500 on my Luscombe 8E

    One Pilot Controlling a Drone SWARM

    As others have said, I think more than one person would just be a hindrance to safe flight.

    Whats the best way to handle negative encounters?

    Don’t launch with people nearby. If they come while you are flying, move away. You are not locked into position unless you’re using a launch pad and why would you do that? That’s my mode of operation anyway. Drones are annoying, and it’s up to you to make them less so.

    under investigation

    A cynical view for someone so young but I have to say when the FAA gets stupid they get really stupid

    under investigation

    Somebody’s probably covered it and I don’t know the laws in Ireland but they would probably need a search warrant I know they do for phone records
