It is roughly 1000' up to the top of the building. Legally with your 107 you're good just have to do your best to maintain the VLOS thing which isn't easy at times. But where I launch I basically know I am not flying over traffic or people and can get some unique footage without a lot of risk. Transmission wise occusync 2.0 no real issues but can lose if trying to fly around the building for example which I wouldn't advise. I would move to another location to fly the other side. Air 2S 3.0 seems that much more solid and stable though.
Nice footage. I just hate driving into downtown Chicago as I hate traffic and detest Chicago parking after Daley sold off the streets where immediately LAZ arbitrarily doubled the street parking rates, canceled free Sundays and added pay-to-park in area that never had meters before. Sorry for the rant. However I have some missions planned as weather improves.
Yeah I headed down in peak traffic to get some of these shots the other day when I got the 2S and was torture. 1000' up is honestly hard to keep an eye on so flights are brief and to the point. I have some Firehouse strobes now for the new night flying regulations in place so those will be in use always now. Just little things like flying around a building or something with the Air2S compared to the Air 2 the breakup almost didn't occur with the 3.0 it seemed. I hardly thoroughly tested, but from what I could tell it was rock solid and just even stronger than the 2.0. It just felt that way whether right or wrong, but obviously it should be better transmission with a more current version of it.
