    2 Zoom 2miles off shore, Maputo Mozambique

    We were debating how big the buoy was and how far off shore. Turned out the buoy was probably 50ft tall if not higher and was about 2miles off shore!

    Any disadvantages from buying refurbished from DJI?

    As always, recommend doing baby steps (like you are). It is much more machine than a Mini. suggest a wide open park/field to test out the features, away from trees or obstructions. You can set a max distance and max height in Go4. Or even set beginner mode. Remember you have a Pause button...
