    Going way too far with Mavic Air 2 - CE Range Test (Mallorca, Spain)

    Wow, Interesting... 500meters altitude? = 1640.42 feet I'm curious about the aviation rules there and what the legal ceiling is? (USA=400AGL is our limit, unless we have our pt 107, and only in certain circumstances)

    Max height increased to 1000m

    400' is my guidance number. I have no idea here y'all are thinking this is allowed... Or has April fools arrived early?

    Do any of you know ways of making it easier to reacquire visual site of your drone after looking away from it for a bit? Try polarized sunglasses.

    Hi, I recently turned on the down facing white LED, and it makes it easier to reacquire as I am looking for what triggered the ADS-B notice too pop up on my controller. ( I found the turning it on at about 10ft is easier than 150') Best wishes for VLOS :)

    Life of a drone

    Hi, I have an MA2 - 51 miles 1105 minutes. three minor accidents. I fixed them with AmZn parts. Sitting tight on any new drones... IMO - is risky to spend so much money on drones that aren't ready for prime time.

    Charging Question: Using the extra USB port on the MA2 charger to charge the Smart Controller.

    IMO - the USB3 port is data only - if it charges, ok but not what it was explained as its purpose. Good luck :)

    MA2 charging port issues

    I have the Hanatora charger also and am very happy with it and its ability to charge my remote or store my batteries (3) safely. It also works in my car as I drive between locations.

    Air 2s An Air2S Temps fate and loses. The Flight of Icarus. A Lesson on What Not To Do with Your Drone! DJI comments.

    I am still a fairly new pilot, but this video seems to be quite high... >400ft AGL IMO - anonymous pilot posts that flout the rules do not impress me... Why would/could this be a legit flight?

    Flying at night

    Aurora HDR apps are one-time purchases or a free trial... Not LR, but an option.

    Mini 2 Ohhhhh Noooooo!!!

    IMO - I believe Sport Mode disables avoidance sensors. Happy that your car and Mini2 survived.
