    Mavic Air 2 or Mavic 2 Pro?

    To be honest? I also am interested in thermal imaging. I was involved in one missing person search, and it would've helped. I'm leaning towards Anafi thermal. Any comments/advice?

    Mavic Air 2 or Mavic 2 Pro?

    I have a Mavic Pro Platinum. I’d like to upgrade. Mainly do real estate photos. The Air 2 has 48 MP and is a great bird for a great price package on Amazon. If I got that would I be sorry I didn’t get the 2 Pro? I think the 3 Pro will be pricey. Mainly do photos, not so much videos.

    It's official! My license arrived today.

    Tony's video really helps. And knowing charts, charts, charts. My exam had a ton of chart questions.

    Covid and DJI Refresh at the Texas facility

    I did a UPS track search and realized it took 7 days just to get to Grapevine. ??‍♂️ I heard from them, replacement bird is bringing shipped Tuesday. Replacement thru refresh ($89) was much cheaper than repairs.

    Covid and DJI Refresh at the Texas facility

    So I sent my bird to DJI Texas, due to Covid what is the turn around time with hearing back from them as to proceeding with case? Anyone else send a bird back to them recently? Thanks, Dana

    Part 107 mission within non LANC system Airport boundaries

    And while I have you. Since I have the 3 day unlock on my drone, and I was approved for authorization to fly within boundaries of a non-LAANC airfield, I should have no problem getting drone to launch when I get there, should I? LOL, it's an hour drive to location and I'd rather not be ?.

    Part 107 mission within non LANC system Airport boundaries

    Just to clarify, I did have 17 satellites and was in gps, but unlike when using DJI app, in the upper left of screen it just said good to fly, or something to that effect, as opposed to saying GPS. One thing I like about flying with Airmap is that it tells me when I'm about to fly outside of my...

    Part 107 mission within non LANC system Airport boundaries

    So I received approval for my flight. I was surprised I got approval actually, considering my nearness to final approach. Yesterday I did a trial flight at a nearby LAANC Airport. I updated my Mavic Pro Platinum with the 3 day unlock, I had approval with LAANC, and I flew using Airmap. Problem...

    Looking at my app online, I did indeed request airspace authorization.
