    New Mavic 2 Pro Pilot - Phoenix AZ

    Not sure if I am the first from my country but welcome to the forum from New Zealand. Good choice of drone. I really enjoy mine.

    Drone fell out of the sky.

    You said “strange there was no data” and I made a joke about it. Not at your expense but more because I had just finished reading about the US Defence Department banning DJI.

    Drone fell out of the sky.

    You must have the latest dji drone made especially for the US market. They come with no ability to record data so they can’t be accused of spying.

    At the risk of upsetting some people......

    Im glad someone finally mentioned a good sd card. I was having a lot of issues with jittery footage. I did a lot of research as well and it wasn’t until I found an article on the importance of a good sd card did things start to change. This is the best article I came across which helped me a...

    Kamikaze Sniper Gulls vs the Mavic 2

    I have a bright orange wrap around my Mavic 2 Pro. Have flown a few times now without birds hassling me. Just this week I had to go past about 7 seagulls circling the beach and not one made a move towards my drone. This is what it looks like.

    There I was, minding my own business

    What gives someone more rights to walk a dog in a park than someone flying a drone if you are following all legal requirements. I personally can’t stand dogs in parks. You could have said “ I hope you cleaned up any mess your dog made” as she left. Yes I know it’s not politically correct but...

    NZ Police Helicopter Nearly Taken Out by a Drone Last Night.

    Tell me. As a pilot would you know what the intentions of someone flying a drone towards a Police helicopter would be? Would it not be possible that knowing you are flying a police helicopter, something that most people on the ground in Auckland know the sound of, that you would be more inclined...

    NZ Police Helicopter Nearly Taken Out by a Drone Last Night.

    I’m a little disappointed with how much everyone says negative things about the report. This is another link to the story: Near-miss with drone suspends Auckland Police Eagle helicopter operations I work for the NZ Police and all I can say is our guys that fly eagle are very switched on. We...

    Micro USB........

    Yeah mine is obviously a cheaper version or something. I’m glad I found out because I was close to updating all my existing cables from the same supplier. Would be interested to know if you ever have a problem. Such a good idea though for our remotes.

    Micro USB........

    I ordered a similar cable to the one you posted and a couple IOS updates ago on my IphoneX and iPad Air 2 it stopped recognising it. Only works on my partners IPhone 6 now. Have been hoping it will be rectified with an update but no luck yet.

    Post some M2P photos!

    Thanks to those that have posted their pictures. The quality of the photos are truly brilliant. I have the MP Platinum and I would love to upgrade but can’t afford to yet. It definitely looks like I will need to as my main purpose for flying is photography. Inspiring work people.

    Disheartened

    Here in New Zealand, just over the ditch from Australia, we also get hammered by taxes as well as a weak dollar against the US. Mavic 2 Zoom price is $2299.00. Mavic 2 Pro is $2699.00. If you want the fly more combo add another $600 on top. Our petrol price for 95 octane is $2.50 per litre...
