    Bought a Mavic Air 2S and it's a giant paper weight....

    First, record some video at 1080 30 frames per second and shoot some photos.

Asking for the basics — registration number of the drone and the pilot’s TRUST certificate — can assure an officer that you’re meeting the most basic requirements. Those that can’t provide these credentials...

    Drone video of Great Tennessee Airshow 2021 under FAA investigation
