    90% to Critically Low in 5 seconds....

    for me... the Mavic air is the sweet spot for video, stills, range, endurance and price... I didn't want to buy used.. (Too often used = someone elses problem) Unedited examples of video.... 1080P 60 fps as originally captured... I am not sure how much de-resolution is added by youtube...

    ANTIDRONE BY KASPERSKY

    So.... all we need to do is look at the anti- gun crowd to see all the tactics to be employed against lawful drone users because of the occasional misdeed committed with a drone! "Why do you need more than 10 drones?" "You can only buy one drone a month" "You must apply to the government for...
