    Flying in Daytona Beach

    I put it on the balcony and it let me start the motors after I agreed to the question.

    Flying in Daytona Beach

    I'm here for the week and brought my drone just in case. It's been awhile since I've flown it and I'm pretty sure I can't fly at this location because of the nearby airport? Or am I ok under 300'? This is using Airmap.

    Public Safety Drone

    I can't help you but I wish we had drones before I retired. I've been out for 5 years now. Stay safe and good luck.

    Great DJI Service

    I just had good service also. My Mavic 2 Pro kept prompting me to calibrate the compass but it wouldn't let me do it. About 1 1/2 weeks and $119 and I have a new one. Shipping was covered also.

    Once Around Town, James...

    That does look like the Grand River. I spotted a sculpture that looks like something in GR also.

    New Mavic Pro 2 pilot

    I'm also a new drone pilot with a Mavic 2 Pro. From all I've read, you need to learn how to take photos and videos in manual mode.

    Experience travelling with a drone to the USA and back

    Some TSA officers are pricks and think they're more important than they are. Look at all the stuff that passes through while on their watch. You found one of them. I've had pretty good luck with TSA. That may change when I fly out on Monday with my new M2P.

    Which Mavic to buy?

    Great news, I bought the package deal from Tommy_2_Tone. He packed it well and it made the trip from Washington State to Michigan perfectly. This thing looks brand new and even included a Lowepro backpack. The only thing I'm going to add are lipo bags and the charger that charges all at once...

    Putting your Mavic to work

    I may take you up on that. I'm retired and have a Mavic 2 Pro coming tomorrow. I'm thinking of doing exactly what you're doing.

    Las Vegas flying

    I'll be getting a Mavic 2 Pro in a couple days and we'll be visiting Las Vegas the end of this month. We've been there before and always get a rental car. Is there an updated list of places that allow drones to fly? We like to visit Mt. Charleston and usually go to Red Rock Canyon also. I...

    Newbie from Sin City (Las Vegas)

    I'm not from Las Vegas, but when we visit, we always go to Peppermill for breakfast. Also, I recommend renting a car when you go. It's easy to get around and there's so much to see off the strip. One of my favorite places to visit is Mt. Charleston, about 45 mins from the strip. Great views...

    Drone insurance

    Unless you're flying for a business, then you would need a separate liability policy. I'm going with State Farm for the PAP and an AMA affiliate agency for liability once I get my 107 license.
