    Leg extensions M2P

    I purchased the legs that could stay on and even fit into the vinyl mavic pro case. Love them as it raises the unit just enough. Just don’t do a hard landing on angle...

    WestJet plane reports drone next to wing at 4000 ft.

    Launching from within a typical neighborhood

    I know what you mean about hard to see once you are a farther away. That is why I am looking at putting a highly visible skin on my unit. The upside or possible down side is that it is easy for everyone else to spot the unit. By the way, I have just got my unit and am new to this. Love the...
