Just bought a new Air2s, have a question. When I am in Normal mode, zooming video at 4x (or higher) at 1080, I've noticed that the drone really slows down. Noticeably. Specifically, rotating the drone from left to right is very slow (as is turning) and even flying straight is slower. When I...

I am speechless ... absolutely beautiful. And incredible that you can get those shots with the Air 2. A testament to that drone's greatness. You should see the video that I take. You will ... laugh!

I am going to be in Eureka for a week in June. Are there any specific places to fly that you would recommend? I was born in Arcata (while Dad and Mom attended Humboldt State) 60 years ago, so I will be out and about exploring a lot. I don't want to waste a lot of time looking for places to...

I have a Mavic Air 2 and I have repeatedly read who DJI recently added a Zoom function to the drone, operated by pressing a number to the left of the shutter button in the DJI Fly app as well as the Smart Controller. I have BOTH - the app and controller - and neither display the number next to...

What a perfect way to kill myself. Nah, I'll pass.

Same thing happened in California ... planes trying to dump fire suppressants on a raging wildfire had to turn back because some imbecile decided to fly a drone over the hot spot. That fool needs to get caught, fined, and maybe thrown in jail. All that person is going to do is encourage our...

OK, I got it. Thanks to everyone who responded. I should note that the canyon I want to film is wide and should not have any obstructions to a GPS connection. To clarify (sorry I didn't put this in my original post), the canyon I want to film is actually part of a man-made reservoir that was...

Hello Everyone: I'm (obviously) a very new pilot and I have a question. I'm going to be flying at a point where I will take off from a certain spot and then descend into a relatively deep where I will take pictures and record some video. So my question is, will this create issues with the...

Thanks kshaw. The FAA map (your second link) is much easier to understand than the B4UFLY map, which I found to be so confusing that it was utterly useless to me. And of course, I found that my house is in a "no fly" zone because of it's proximity to an airport (which used to be a military...

Hello Everyone, I've had my Mavic Air 2 for a whopping 2 weeks so I am very new to the hobby. I've spent the last two weeks practicing the basic capabilities of the drone, flying it in my back yard (never flying higher than the height of my fences so I don't annoy the neighbors). Now I want...
