Sounds like you need to do your own homework to familiarize yourself with Canadian regulations that apply to your situation. If you don’t and end up in trouble, I guess you need to be prepared for the consequences and will have nobody but yourself to blame.

I do not use the RC2 remote. I use the remote that came with my A2S running DJI Fly on my Samsung S23 Ultra (as I mentioned in my original post).

Thanks for your reply. I do have the AirData UAV app on my phone and it does not ingest the logs from the Fly app that I use to control my A2S. If you are referring to the AirData HD sync app, that app is long obsolete and doesn’t work either.

Hi all, My last flight with my A2S was in August 2023. I’ve always loved the richness of information available through AirData UAV, so imagine my disappointment when I learned that file syncing from DJI Cloud no longer works. I’m using DJI Fly (latest official version from their website, 1.17...

It is a sticker. I peeled it off of both my Air 2 and Air 2S. I prefer a minimum of labeling, etc, on my birds. Same as I do with the QR codes.

I use the RLSOCO case available on Amazon. It’s my third one; I’ve used one for each of my various drones: spark, air, and the same one for my Air 2 and Air2S. They‘re a good compromise between reasonable size and necessary extra storage space. They’re affordable too. Highly recommended.

I think you should return your mini2, John. As a certified GA pilot, I’m surprised you would even have a problem with this restriction. It is not a product defect, it is a legitimate design choice by DJI and I, for one, have no problem with ut,

Flying over Niagara Falls would be extremely unsafe in so many ways (never-mind that it would be illegal). There are tons of tourists, site-seeing helicopters, etc. Besides which, the border with Canada runs right through the middle of the Niagara River. Flying there is not an option.

Someone else may have already provided this reply, but in case not, it turns out the new MA2s uses the same battery.

Good advice, Rex. I use a landing pad on the ground for the same reasons. It also provides a relatively smooth surface on grass, sand, gravel, etc, as you know. I once got nipped on the end of one of my fingers doing a hand catch from below by my MA. Didn't cut through the skin, but sure stung...

I think the Mini 2 is what you are looking for. It's a fabulous little drone that is imminently portable with a great battery life and a good, strong connection to the RC. I have an Air 2 and not a Mini 2, so I'm not just recommending what I have. But I do recommend the Mini 2 to people who ask...

I used Polar Pro filters on my first two drones, but purchased a Freewell set for my MA2 and am very happy with the quality of those. Polar Pro are fairly pricey. The Freewell set that I bought are not a lot less expensive, but they were somewhat, and the quality seems on par with Polar Pro.

Ya, for sure. Nothing describes DJI better than a company "without design skill or vision." That was sarcasm if it wasn't obvious.

Paul, really sorry for your frustrating loss. It appears that lack of power is a recurring issue for the minis, and your little bird was experiencing it in spades. I would like to point out, assuming you didn't know it, that Transport Canada prohibits the takeoff or landing of any aircraft...
