    Active Track with Snowmobiles

    One of the reason I bought my Mavic Pro 2 to capture video of me in the playing in backcountry on my snowmobile using the active track. All I can say is man, I’m disappointed. Even in a wide open meadow, with a dark grey sled and me wearing all black gear (do colors get any more contrasted...

    I Have a Dumb Question about altitude

    Well sorry then. I live in an area were there lots of canyons. Might be flying over an area a couple hundred feet up, but then the topography drops off 300' and then back up on the other side, so was wondering.

    I Have a Dumb Question about altitude

    So say you're on the edge of a 1000' cliff that dropped off completely vertical... You set your drone 1 foot back from the edge, take off and hover 3 feet above the ground. Then you fly forward 2 feet and are hovering over the edge and now are now flying illegally? That is dumb. Then again...

    I Have a Dumb Question about altitude

    I don't have an answer to your question, but I shot this video with my MP2 after taking off at 11,285' on top of a mountain. I never received any warnings.

    Details... I was thinking shotgun, not rifle. From a safety standpoint, it'd be no different than shooting at winged game like ducks, geese, or upland birds. With that said, and it all seriousness, after reading reading about the legalities of this, I did some research and learned something...

    As both a rancher and a hobby drone pilot, if I see someone flying over my property to survey what I'm doing without my permission, you can bet your [Comment removed by ADMIN] I am doing my best to shoot your drone out of the sky.

    Erratic Active Track

    Subscribing... I've noticed my MP2 doing the same thing in Active Track. Quite annoying.

    SD Card in MA2, SC, or Both?

    I'm using a SC with my M2P and am relatively new to drones. I've been putting the card in the aircraft because when I had it in the SC, I wasn't getting any footage saved. I messed around with settings a little bit, but maybe I was missing something.

    Intelligent Flight Modes and Tracking

    I finally got a chance to get some flight time in to play with the intelligent flight modes. Unfortunately, it appears that these flight modes only work with stationary subjects, and not one that is moving. I tried the circle and boomerang modes focused on me walking down an open road and...

    Intelligent Flight Modes and Tracking

    Intelligent Flight Modes and Tracking

    Hello. I'm new here, and recently purchased my first drone, a Mavic 2. I seem to be picking up the basics of flight pretty quickly, and am now beginning to explore the other features that it has to offer. I'm starting to play around with the intelligent flight modes and have been watching...
