Does the Mavic 2 Zoom have it's own GPS recognition (Sensing) system or does it use the one on my phone. If the Mavic does have the GPS unit installed, can I disable it for selected flights?

How do I deliberately turn off cell data?

Question: Out at my farm there is no cellphone service. Can I take one of my old Samsung phones (no longer with cellphone carrier service) and connect it to the Mavic 2 Zoom and fly.

Do I get the FAA clearance for my farm thru AirMap, or some other place? This is great info, want to use the drone for tracking our cattle too, sometimes one is missing and we have to cover 300+ acres by foot to find it. Of course our English Shepard dogs love the walk but my 69 year old legs...

What video editor are you using? Really like the low level passes at high speed.

I checked the charts, in the area I was flying it was a 700ft and above restriction. Lots of Paragliding along the beach so I think 700ft is more than enough altitude for "Beach Fun", especially with the 400ft restriction on all drone flights (excluding inspection of structures of course).
