Thanks for all the good advice. I have considered coming up with floats of some sort, but the thing is, I realize right off the bat that any of them are going to multiply the wind resistance of the drone terribly. One of the best things about the Air 2 and I suspect all similar drones is the...

I happen to live by this wonderful natural lake in the middle of a very rurban area, and it is populated with many large fish and turtles, as well as things like ducks, herons and deer. I have been learning how to watch their behavior using a drone in ways I never could before. And I must say...

When I bought my MA2, a big part of my purpose was to get good pictures and videos of the critters that live in a lake near me. At first I was very cautious, staying over land in my yard until I got comfortable, then went through a week or so of confidence building and experimentation over the...

I suggested in your other thread about this incident that it looks misty in the video, and I am wondering if moisture could be the culprit here. I still think that after reading through this thread, and I also found the following statements in this thread, post #6: " Yes when water get inside...

I notice it looks misty in the video. How wet was the environment? Did this happen during a misting rain? I am learning that moisture is a serious potential factor with the Air 2 drones if it makes its way into the innards. The Pro design is not that different. My issue has come from a...

I also have a crash/recovery history from my first 3 months of Mavic ownership that I can talk about. I am pretty good at recovery as well as avoidance while undertaking dangerous challenges (dangerous to the DRONE, NEVER to any PEOPLE!!!). I got the pole at Home Depot, 8' extendable out to...

I am actually now a bit of an experienced pilot - I bought my drone back in June and it is now September as I post this. I am currently awaiting a replacement drone on the wonderful DJI Refresh program, and this will be the second time I have sent my baby into DJI after a crash. I happen to...
