This is a humble example of what a Mavic 2 Pro can do. I made 4 figures on my first batch of these postcards. They sell out everywhere they are displayed. I have seen much better work from a lot of pilots on this forum, but since you are asking I thought I would throw my 2 cents in. To be...

Sweet! It has been a couple decades since I have been there! Love it. Memories... And yeah, fresh/salt water mix. Pretty prominent. Thanks

Welcome to the forum Saxguy from Plano. Safe Flying!

Just a thought to rule out the alternatives... Have you thought of trying a signal booster?

Well that is all and good. But what did you do to "figure this out"? How did you do your way-point mission? Did you "pre plan it? or did you do it on "the fly"?

My MP2 is officially named "JackJack" Here is a pic over a house fire yesterday. 🔥

4th of July Yachats Oregon 2023 Used GIMP to compile a few shots together in a meager attempt to avoid uploading too many photos.

To windy to set the waypoints today. I'll try again tomorrow morning before the wind arrives. Tomorrow is "the day" here. There are at least 20 events in town.. and now it is a matter of picking and choosing which deserve "battery time".

Not a chance. Fireworks are ballistics. Just like bullets, or more like mortars. There are no aerodynamic forces involved that create lift. (from that standpoint).

We all have "failures" . Learning from them is what it is all about. Night flying is an incredible opportunity. Practice and precision is an art and a science. Your video was really cool and inspired me. I have done mostly stills so far, but this year we will attempt to do some night vids, The...

Yeah, well it is going to be an adventure at least. I'm going to take @Justbrad settings and ideas and apply them to my flight plan. It should be pretty cool. He had notice from the pyrotechnic crew when they were ready to fire. We don't have that. We do have exact coordinates and trajectories...

Totally cool... I am setting up to do something similar. Except I have to capture stills as well as video. I am setting up tomorrow to set a waypoint and verify line of sight. If we can see the drone at the target waypoint we are set. If not I'll do it from 1 click away. So this was 1.5 clicks...

I'll be the first to say WOW! Loved it. How far was your drone from the "action"? Any special settings we should know about? Totally interested. Thanks for posting this.

Yet another reply from a DJI forum "Administrator": The thread over there is becoming more contentious with every reply. Last one and I'm done: (someone else posted this)

It was mostly gusts. According to my weather sensor 26 MPH gusts. That's all. I'll do it again tomorrow.
