I've posted before, I think this hobby is doomed for acts just like this - and there are many instances - not just this one. What is unfortunate is that new buyers do not research much - the rules, the NFZ's, privacy issues, so there is a 'group' that will buy, find out they can not fly many...

Thanks for all the inputs.

"Why do we care how loud it is?" - you are kidding of course. Well said NKZY - "Because, drones by their nature provoke thoughts exactly like the people commenting above (spying, invasion of privacy etc.). When you're flying out in nature, or in a park, over peoples houses, or anywhere really...

I'd like to see the unedited video too. It seemed to me there were a few abrupt edits, but still impressive.

There is an audio file posted here someplace of the MP and the Air. The Air is high pitched, making it sound louder (and it might be?). The Mavic, with larger props, sounds like they spin slower, perhaps a higher pitch prop, but the sound it much better than the Air. (IMO)

Having flown R/C helicopters for years, I can tell you the heli does not get beyond 200 feet - it's not that it won't go farther, but it gets real small, real quick and there is no RTH button, and it can fly at any angle, upright, inverted, sideways, on its side. You lose orientation for a...

Thanks. I looked quickly at these. Seems sold in Europe; pricing in Euro. Worry a bit about that. I’ll look closer on a computer and not on my phone.

Aquacopters... COOL!! I have all RC stuff already, but need info on the flight controller, unsure what this is. But I contacted aquacopter, and will get info.. Thanks for the lead. Had the Breeze, to short of flight time - but a nice drone. I liked it. The Spark, not enough flight time.. I...

Yes, a reason for the post in the first place. The "helpful comments"... "just buy a second one" are interesting.. good solution (NOT!)..., but suppose no real helpful info from some people.

Most of you have light-years more experience with a drone than I do. I'd like to tap into your knowledge and ask, if you had to pick another drone, other than a DJI product, which drone would you choose and why? I'd rather not spend $1000 for a MP or an Air (local Costco store has the MP on the...

These are interesting scenarios and it seems to me most are preventable if the pilot just THINKS. Personally I would not fly out of LOS as I’d be real worried I’d never see my investment again. But that’s me. Thanks for the comments.

I don't fully understand what causes a 'fly away' - it's my understanding that if the signal is lost to the drone, or the Tx is turned off, the RTH function takes over and the drone returns home. If this is the case, no one would lose a drone, yet I see many comments on 'fly-a-way' posts. What...

Good Topic!. It's very tempting to get sucked into the hype. I battle, hourly, any real benefit of a drone (for me). With so many NFZ's, and only getting worse - it will not get better - I question any application I have (of which there are very few) - and if I want to drive, say an hour, to...

I'm glad others think the Air is too expensive. We almost have to get the FM package, putting the price at $1000. I have been on the Autel forum for the last month or so, watching close. You will see many posts where Autel has promised / announced products and they never materialized. Not my...

Thanks. Good to know it’s still available. Appreciate the response.
