Stated another way: is there a way to mount LEDs / strobes on the M2P so they won't affect photos / videos?

Need advice! Contemplating buying strobes for my M2P. Question: what effect will strobes have on photos / videos? Any experience / advice appreciated!

Don't forget that humid air is less dense than dry air. Presumably this means that your drone's motors have to work harder to achieve the same flight parameters (speed, altitude, starting, stopping, hovering). So, they may get warmer and certainly would use more battery in humid than dry.

I have found hand catching (on land!) easy. The drone will react to your hand, as Spetnaut says, but if you keep the left joystick fully back (as you normally would to land), the drone overcomes the downward obstacle (just as in normal landing) and settles onto your hand. My concern here is...

Thanks to Drbobk and Spetnaut. I agree hand catching probably best, but that means I'll have to manipulate the RC with the other hand - only one hand for two joysticks! (I would hang the RC around my neck with a lanyard.) My main concern is getting the drone to keep up with the forward motion of...

Fellow droners: I plan on flying my M2P from a boat in open water in a very large lake ('sparsely populated area' per 14 CFR 107.25). Takeoff should be no problem, but I'm a little worried about landing on a moving boat. I'll be on upper deck, about 10' above the water. Any advice?

Fellow droners: I suggest checking out Verifly. Pretty amazing, really. You download the app to your cellphone, put in your credit card info, and you're set. When you are on location and ready to fly, open the app and you get a map (somewhat similar to B4UFly). You can choose various radii...
