I’ve heard you can use the Mavic 2s battery to charge a Prius, you can expect approx 30 minutes of driving time from each battery used.

My Mavic recently flew safely at over 35,000 ft for nearly 7 hours over water without the need to ever change the battery while safety tucked away in the overhead compartment on my recent flight to Europe.

For a friend huh? Come on, you’re not buying ED medication. Tell us the mistake you made with your Mavic 2.

You need to remember that DJI is from China, where naming things, including their own kids, is not their strong point.

I agree, the zoom offers so much more for the average pilot. If you really want/need professional equipment, spend $6000 on an Inspire 2. Heck, my iPhone X takes great photos, I don’t need to spend for expensive lenses and a DSLR Full Frame camera, leave that to the professionals who strive for...

I’ll quickly confess that I haven’t read through any responses to this thread therefore, forgive me if someone else has provided a similar response. If you can’t comfortably afford this, you’re getting involved in the wrong hobby or perhaps looking at the wrong drone to fit your budget. You...

I wish I was

I live in Shenzen and my MP2 is shipping from CA, WTF?

I would strongly recommend that you set your height at least above the highest point of moving train. I would use the same rule of thumb for anything that might be moving.

Your 30% battery over water is not the issue, the minimal altitude likely was. Nearly every flight I take is over water, often times 2 or more miles out. I’ve never turned off any sensor however, I never fly low enough to run into those issues. One can’t accurately visually measure altitude of a...

A good deal isn’t always about dollars and cents. Send it back,now that’s just my two cents.

I’ve owned DJI products for years, never once purchasing insurance, DJI Refresh etc. If I lose it, oh well. I fly long distances on a regular basis, mostly over water. If it disappears, it’s gone as I’m not going to look for it. Yes, it’s an expensive hobby but the last thing I’m going to...

Glad to have remembered this, enjoy. Be sure to share photos!!

You can dye your props any color you wish. I’d tried this several times on prior Phantom Props without any issue. Dyeing Props
