    New mini 2 pilot Cincinnati, Ohio

    Oh no, I'm keeping the spark for the occasional need for a drone with obstacle avoidance, active track, and just to have a spare.

    Mavic Pro owners in West Chester or Cincinnati, OH?

    I'm in Summerside (just on the other side of Eastgate/Batavia. I bought a mini 2 to go with me everywhere. Also have a Spark of I want to use active track. I currently have a thread up asking about cool places to take pictures /vids.

    help, just got my mini last Friday and its grounded. I cant trust it, it wants to flyaway.

    Also take into account the sensors need light to work. This is a tiny drive with tiny sensors in the bottom. Which work well on a well light day. Maybe not so much using lighting inside a home. In any case it will not stop a drone from ascending rapidly into a ceiling.

    Yes the sensors "help", if the aircraft is being flown indoors there is no line of site to the satellites. Therefore only downward sensors. Again, they help but aircraft without satellites will be in atti mode which can /will make flying twitchy.

    Floors drone inside on atti mode. It hits ceiling, and it's the drones fault? As stated it does have sensors that help it out in case there are no satellites. It does need satellite connection for positioning, which gives the drone stability (hovering smoothly). Atti makes the drone fly no...

    Yeah, I have been there quite a few times on 2 wheels. It's a great ride up there, too bad the original general store burnt down 1-2 years ago.

    New mini 2 pilot Cincinnati, Ohio

    Good afternoon from Ohio! Been flying a DJI Spark since 2017. Decided I wanted more range and 4k video. So, I bought the mini 2 fly more combo. Looking forward to getting some cool shots around the Ohio River, and learning any tips/tricks from this forum!

    I'm new to this forum, and was curious if anyone has any local "of the beaten path" places that they like to hike to film. One place I would like to visit when it warms up is the old Peterson Ammunition factory next to Kings Island in Mason, Ohio. Your pick?
