    Why you shouldn't buy a Mavic 2 or any drone that relies on your phone.

    The error happening when the phone is not attached should have been the first clue that the sensors in the drone are messed up. If you are getting that error under these conditions then you can try all the different phones you want, nothing will change.

    AMA and me

    And who do you think lobbied Congress to get it passed? It surely was not out of the goodness of their hearts. If fact the case might be able to be made that if it was not for the AMA the only drone you might be flying would be a $20 toy from wallyworld.
