Ooops. Okay this is weird. I did six successful flights. I have no memory of having ever removed the props (only loosening them and retightening to make sure they're attached securely)... so I assumed they were still installed correctly. But when I went to try replacing them... yes... the...

After half a dozen successful flights, my Mavic Air 2 suddenly can't lift off. All the props appear to spin up, but on 'lift-off', the craft nose-dives. The rear raises up a few inches, the front doesn't get off the ground. I got an immediate 'Propeller Installation Error'. Several loosening...

The castle (as any rock or concrete structure tends to do) may have been acting as a sonic reflector. There's an old fort near where I live, and they often host concerts on the grass 500 feet away. There's an easily heard second reflection. In other words, not only might you have been hearing...

For extra ease of operation, I also like the Mavic 2 Pro option of two people using two separate controllers: 1. pilot, 2. camera operator. Oh... and the extra battery life hopefully means you have a little more time to get yourself out of trouble or return to home against a sudden headwind.

I'm no expert (yet) but I was thinking that between the Ocusync 2.0 and the side and top sensors.. plus the digital readout readily visible on the controller... that the Mavic 2 Pro might qualify as 'easiest'.

What is the easiest DJI drone to fly?

By the way, the Zerotech Dobby footage looks pretty usable. And I might order one... if I can be assured it'll arrive in time for my event. The software reliability and customer service ratings are a bit worrisome though. So we'll see.

Google was not my friend. We are no longer speaking to each other. (I googled well before even asking the question. Its so-called 'answers' were less than helpful.) Thank you for your link. I did read it. I wish that the Hover were available to purchase. So I guess my search continues...

It's not in a wilderness area. But it is isolated due to it being a privately owned island with nearest neighbours a mile or more away. It is technically just barely inside a VERY large Class C airspace. And because the video would be on YouTube, that would be evidence of where I was. So I'd...

I wish there was a way to shave 50 grams off the takeoff weight of a DJI Spark. Like... if they could make a lesser capacity ultralight battery for it maybe.

So... I guess nobody knows if there's a sub 250 gram craft capable of decent image quality. Okay. Thanks anyway.

In my case, the chances of police being called is zero. The intended location is an isolated privately owned estate. As for stability, if it's windy then I don't fly. No biggie. So my original question was: is there a sub 250 gram craft that is capable of decent image quality? That's what I...

Canada.

Can anyone point me to a drone that's under 250 grams that shoots decent 1080p or better video? I'm okay with short battery life (for weight savings) but want the best possible image quality... whilst staying under 250 grams. Does such a thing exist?
