    Common sense. Wind speed for Mavic 2

    The DJI app will also give you a high wind warning and advise you to land your drone asap. You can take heed or ignore depending on your judgment, but if you're not getting that warning while flying, then you are good.

    Good camera 1000$ camera drone?

    Buy a used Mavic 2 Pro for 1000-1200, or just get an Evo. But you could also buy a used Anafi on Amazon for like 400 bucks, great deal.

    Mavic 3 Pro

    I think you can get a refurbished Mavic 2 Pro for $1099 on ebay. That might make you less afraid to fly it, I don't know. I suspect you'll be afraid to fly the Mavic 3, but I don't know. You could probably get a great deal on a used/refurb Spark, Air, or Platinum, especially after Christmas...

    Mavic 2 or Skydio 2, that is the question.

    Skydio 2 VS Mavic 2 Motion Tracking | Not What I Expected Did we confuse the Skydio 2?

    Mavic 3 Pro

    Wrong. And notice how you are declaring that the Skydio 2 only has to be better in one area to be a better drone than the Mavic 3 or even the Mavic 2. Notice that you are declaring that tracking ability is the singular most important feature of a drone. Like I said, within two weeks all of...

    Mavic 3 Pro

    The Mavic 2 already has obstacle avoidance and APAS. Nothing was stopping people from flying though trees for the 1.5 years. And unlike the Skydio 2, the Mavic 2 can actually hold propeller guards and extension legs. And in the trees, the Mavic 2 will have much better signal strength than the...

    Mavic 3 Pro

    Yeah I put a deposit down a month ago, but with a May/June delivery date (3rd batch) I felt that money burning in my pocket. And when the Mavic 2 Pro went on sale for $1099 refurbished with extras and warranty on ebay, I jumped on it. A big reason for the excitement over the Skydio 2 was that...

    Mavic 3 Pro

    I don't know about all that. I still think the Mavic 2 is the better overall drone than the Skydio 2. Watch, people will get their Skydio 2, get on their bike or skateboard or car, do some cool tests, and then the bloom will be off the rose. Just think of how pathetic most of the tracking...

    Mavic 2 Pro Shaky Gimbal Problem

    This happened to me the first time I flew mine, but that was because I was touching the screen and dragging to move the gimbal around. I don't know what the issue with yours is, but make sure you don't touch your smart phone screen and move the direction of the gimbal that way.

    Video: Crash While Active Tracking In Low Light

    This is an example of night-time tracking working well, on the Anafi. The headlight is bright enough that the drone can track it easily. But it does require using the remote control to keep the drone in front where it can see the headlight. This should also work with a headband mounted...

    Video: Crash While Active Tracking In Low Light

    They're both types of Geo-fencing. In the Parrot Anafi app the max distance/altitude section is called Geo-fence. So any geographic restrictions on flight would technically be examples of Geo-fencing. But in DJI lingo you might be correct.

    Video: Crash While Active Tracking In Low Light

    When I try the M2P under these conditions again, with the reflective vest and LEDs, I'm going to try checking the "Set Dynamic Home Point" box, and also setting a geofence of just a few meters distance. That way if it does fly out of control again, maybe it will stop at the geofence if I can't...

    Video: Crash While Active Tracking In Low Light

    I bought the M2Pro because of the superior nighttime image of the camera. I make youtube videos, and I know it looks completely ridiculous to be walking/riding around while talking to a drone/camera that is following you. Late night filming solves that problem, plus it opens up filming...
