    Auto-landing at 12% VERY close to home ... normal?

    I did a test just for kicks and can confirm I got a few more minutes after it hit 0%

    Mavic Air 2 temperature check

    I was down there visiting some fam and I was surprised how well it did. The only issue was that I could not take the heat lol

    Mavic Air 2 Urban Range

    I might look into sending mine in. My max is 4644ft over a body of water with line of sight in an area that is pretty remote. My urban range is roughly 1600-2000ft. I just watched a youtube video of a guy taking his nearly 10000ft in an urban environment.

    What's wrong with some people?

    I am terrified to fly over people, even if its just for a quick moment. But since we are on the topic, I thought this was a cool study that examines how much damage a drone could do to the body. https://www.popularmechanics.com/flight/drones/a28774546/drone-head-collision/ To summarize some...

    Stuck in Custom Unlock Geo Zone

    I’ll definitely keep that in mind for future flights and will make sure I’m close enough in the event things go wonky. Hopefully they can sort those issues out soon

    Distance

    I can't wait to get out in the middle of nowhere and test it out. I know a lot of factors can play into the signal but I found it odd that in Downtown Atlanta I could get about 4000ft before totally losing signal and in the suburbs roughly the same. I would have thought the burbs would have...

    Stuck in Custom Unlock Geo Zone

    Hi All, So I am about a week in with the drone and so far everything has been solid until tonight. I put in a request to unlock an Altitude Zone that had a max ceiling of 150m so that I could take photos of a building in the area.The unlock process was easy and straightforward and I was able...

    MA2 Questions

    I thought I was the only one experiencing this. Somewhat comforting but also lame to know that this is the expected behavior for now.
