    Emergency landing power off ? Mavic Air 2

    Indeed...when I lost my Phantom last year ( fly away ) I bought a Marco Polo for my MA 2. Device is small and battery last a long time. I've tested it and seems to work well. Check You Tube for videos.

    Buying MA2 at Amazon

    Buying from Amazon, as I did my MA2 ( gift cards), has some advantages. Returns are easy and usually " no questions" and typically a longer window to return. My Phantom 3 was missing a part and Amazon sent a new one before I returned the original. Band H is a great store. I have photo...

    Did I screw up buying this tablet?

    I couldn't even load the Fly app on my Samsung ( not so cheap ) tablet. I could fly my Phantom with the Android but not the MA 2.

    Flymore Combo $869 BH Photo

    B and H delivers quickly and their service is top notch. They serve many pros with their equipment. Watch when you want to order, however. They close on Fridays at some time and Saturdays as well.

    Places to fly in Connectcut?

    I used to fly in a nearby state park with an older drone a few years ago but last year was ordered to, " Land your drone, sir," by a ranger. I went through the same procedures as you did, to no avail. BTW, this was off season; no people around. The calls I made said I might bother the birds in...

    Places to fly in Connectcut?

    I'm having an increasingly more difficult time finding places to fly in Southern CT. Getting the usual ; "Are you spying on anyone? Isn't that dangerous?" Or the warning signs against " motorized remote controlled devices". I'm careful, experienced and have no desire to spy...

    Overheating forcing me to land?!?

    I haven't got an overheat warning forcing me to land my Mav A 2. However, I noticed when experimenting with the underside light the bird comes back with a warm underside. Is it normal when using the light for a few minutes and why does an LED light get hot anyway??

    Mavic Air 2

    I hope you find the time to fly your new addition. My problem, here in southern CT, is finding PLACES to fly. The people who think I'm invading their privacy, parks with restrictions, and the few folks who think people who fly drones are just awful citizens!

    Show Off Your Case

    I have the Lowe backpack for my Mav Air 2 that looks very similar. Very affordable ( 60$ ) and is well made.

    Purchase options

    Do your homework on Best Buy return policy should you need to use it. I've bought two drones, Mavic Air 2 recently, from Amazon and on my Phantom's return for a missing part, all went well. I believe Best Buy has restocking if you open the box and the return time frame is half that of Amazon...

    Mavic Air 2 - Is it really THAT bad?

    I've had a Phantom 3 A for 5 years and bought the Mav Air 2 a week ago. Love it. Take criticism with a grain of salt...

    Mavic Air 2 Ipad mount

    I bought a Frewell that I thought would hold my 9.7 Ipad pro on my Mav Air 2, but no go on that. Ideas? Polar Pro? Mavmount?

    Getting cold feet about owning a Drone

    I have had the same response from people here in Connecticut. When I was asked to leave a park, ( " Sir, land your drone! " ) the park attendant told me someone in a nearby town had loaded a weapon of some sort on a drone that obviously freaked people out. And there's the folks who think their...
