kia ora, Very tempted to the plunge with this little bird, love my Mini2 but active track is a deal breaker for me, Question: has this drone suffered with return to home of any sort of strong wind, a bit like Mini1? John

Welcome! I’m in Auckland, always looking for the next place to fly!! Keep in touch

Thanks for the input guys, still undecided put starting to sway towards getting one

Thanks for the replies guys, the interference was at its worst when on the far side of the ship, so that makes perfect sense now, maybe i'll try higher next time! Thanks again for taking the time to reply!

M2 zoom

Any advice for flying and filming large container/oil tanker ships? I love the footage and got myself in a good position last week, ship came along, flew out to it, about 40m above, popped active track on, good footage but upon circling I got the message about bad interference and screen...

Hey all, I don’t see many negative reviews about the smart controller, but can anyone tell me exactly what it offers to the pilot over the standard M2 controller? I’m not doubting it in anyway, just trying to make an informed decision if it is worth the extra expense (I’m very happy with the...

In my, very limited, opinion, DJI seemed to have effectively cannibalised its M2Z, so I would be deciding between the M2P and the MA2. Like yourself, I’m new to the whole photo editing and all the settings, so I would be choosing the MA2 if I was to buy a first drone now

Hey guys, With the lockdown, the weather and life in general getting in the way, I haven’t had the mavic up in about a month now, with no end in sight anytime soon, So the question is how long is to long not to fire the drone up and get it in the air? Is it ok sitting there for weeks and even...

Who knows what DJI has got up it’s sleeve for the mavic 3 or whatever next, I’m sure it’ll be an awesome bit of kit...my question is what would you like to see out of the battery life/flying time?? For me, 30 minutes is perfect, anymore and I’d start to struggle with concentration, I can get...

In my very limited experience, north of Auckland is pretty good to fly with little restrictions around and some absolutely stunning beaches and coasts, it really depends on what you have planned for while you are in NZ and where you are going. No fly zones are clearly signed around the parks...

100% bring it! Regional parks on the most are no fly zones, but there are some spectacular places to drone and shoot! The north island seems a little more drone friendly to be honest, but do your research and you’ll be fine!

Thanks, that is the worry, if i go and spend on it then realise it takes just as long to get it up in the air. Saying that, it probably does have a use for the long hikes due to size an weight I'm thinking

Hey guys and girls, Quick one to gauge opinion, is it worth getting a MM while also owning a M2? Currently, i don't carry my M2 often, very much the plan a flight kind of use, pick a day and hope the weather is good! Doing it this way has worked for me on the whole, but i do feel like I've...

Place called Langs beach, north of the north island, it’s where I’m trying to hone my droning skills!
