There is a video on YouTube of a guy on one of the Greek islands doing exactly that with a Mavic Pro. I believe he got to about 8000 feet.

But why make that assertion out of thin air without any information to suggest that it happened? That just adds to the general perception that it is far more common than it really is.

Try searching or posting a new thread?

Flying in to someone’s bike? Is that really a legitimate concern? Who flys that low around anyone or anything?

Nine apparently, unless the guy in the bike week shirt is undercover and then it’s ten.

Never had that issue. Have you had trouble with other 4K video playback on your laptop?

Are you concerned that you don’t have the full control range (signal drops sooner than you’d expect) or that you don’t have the full flight time (battery drains faster than you’d expect)?

There is also a difference between being considerate and being reasonable. I also would not fly over my neighbors property, at say 50 or less, loitering or otherwise obviously focused on them. But at 400 feet, moving in a straight line with a purpose of heading toward or back from a mission...

Actually, no, that’s not how that works. As evidenced by the fact that the police officer didn’t do anything other than inform him of the complaints. If what you stated were true, half the country would be in jail for disorderly conduct.

Unfortunately I suspect that neighbors who would call the police before simply walking over to ask you are not the sort of people who will placated by logic or friendly gestures.

The central piece where both folding props connect, and the part that connects the whole thing to the motor.

Went out and did some more testing today, found that in addition to the increased noise of the old props, the drone visibly struggled to hold a steady hover position, and breaking distance was farther than with newer props. The only noticeable physical difference was in the pivot points at the...

Well I ran a test today, flew with the old props, and with the new, switched back and forth a couple times. Definitely a sound difference. New props are super quite, just like the old props used to be when they were new. Old props now have a much more pronounced "fluttering" sound. That...

Are you saying they've already redesigned the Mavic 2 props? The original props I have shipped with my Drone (I ordered on the day they announced it) and the spare props are what came with the Fly More kit I purchased at the same time, so I believe my old and new props should be of identical...
