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...

For what it's worth, my Air was immersed in shallow (fresh) water for about 3.5 minutes about six weeks ago due to an unfortunate error on the pilot's (my) part. I took the top shell off and partially disassembled it, blew out the innards thoroughly and left it opened to dry for a week. It has...

Don’t get me wrong: I don’t fly without a polarizer and mine are the ND/CPLs by Polarpro. However I’m talking about ND filters in particular. The only reason for an ND filter is to effectively block the amount of light hitting the sensor; they do absolutely nothing to the colour. Polarizers, on...

Punctuation is everybody's friend. Just sayin'

No need for ND filters if his only interest is stills photography, I believe. ND filters are really beneficial for video use however, to allow for slow shutter speeds in bright light.
