Maybe this needs a label for youtube, how to drone on during Shelter in place in a positive way.

Mine hasn't fallen out of the sky or impacted hard yet. I have brought it down through some tree branches and cut some needles off a pine tree branch. My depth perception couldn't tell if I was too close or not. I used the camera view and the screen sensor indicators to get it clear.

With a M2P I have flown above low clouds. I was between 300 and 400' and was about 400' laterally while watching the drone hover as low clouds passed below it.

I live under PDX airspace and was unhappy with not even being able to test fly my M2P in the house initially. I have now flown near some smaller airports that brought up the caution window. Once acknowledging I understood I was able to fly. Pittock Mansion, the wreck of the Peter Iredale...
