Mine is now on the way with a Monday delivery. From California to Georgia. Finally!

Well, as of this morning, June 1, UPS still doesn't have it. Mine supposedly 'shipped' on May 26. I contacted DJI chat this morning and was told UPS has had the package for several days and they were in contact with UPS to try and get them updated. Not sure what to believe at this point.

I got the email from DJI on 5/26 saying it was shipped but as of 5/28 UPS still does not have it.

Your wind experience doesn't match mine. I was impressed with the wind performance. Had speeds of 20 mph in 12 mile/hour head wind in normal mode for a loss of about .6 mph per mile of head wind. Didn't try sport mode. Got a total flight time of 26 minutes with 8% remaining. It is a huge...

Same and I notice that Amazon is no longer listing the Fly More as available but the single package is available for immediate shipment.

I also got an email from Amazon saying June 1 delivery but about 12 hours later it updated to May 21, maybe because of cancellations?

That's incredibly cynical and just not true. Not sure about the FAA but comment periods have had an impact on environmental rules for many years. Having worked in the environmental field for over 30 years I can tell you that public comments can have a major impact. It's all about the numbers...

Amazon has now updated to May 21 from June 1.

The pause button is now a short push of the Return To Home button.

In this case they are saying that it will not be released to them until 5/28. It's on the order page as a new release date.

Ordered Fly More Pkg. from Amazon on 5/4 showed delivery date of 5/13 received email today saying delivery would now be 6/1. I was kind of expecting that.

With that being the case, does it make any sense to purchase a drone now that may not meet the FAA ID requirements? Very confused about this. Will drones manufactured prior to the rules be grandfathered in? I realize no one can actually answer this now but I'm surprised more people aren't...

Does anyone know if the Air 2 (or any current DJI drone) will be capable of meeting the likely FAA remote ID standards? Seems they would via internet but what about broadcast?

I believe that a quick push to the Return Home button serves as a pause. Read that somewhere but can't locate it right now.

You should shoot at what ever looks best to you. The 2.7k mode will, in general, produce less compression artifacts than the 4k mode but at a lower resolution. There was a post somewhere that went into depth about this but I can't locate it right now. I'm surprised you saw any difference in...
