    basically the title. there has to be a setting somewhere that i am overlooking or somewhere to go to takeoff if your ducks are all in a perfect single file row. does anyone know....

    Trying to figure out how to get the Air 2S in the DJI Fly app to lock on to something and just hover / rotate with it, not follow it

    its aviation related, am trying to get the Air 2S to lock on to the plane while hovering but not getting any closer to it. ...before everyone loses their minds... yes ATC knows, yes i have a clearance, yes there is ample separation, yes it will be LOS.

    Due to drone laws & restrictions, does anyone else feel it to be nearly impossible to legally fly anywhere other than their backyard...?

    Question here.... can you takeoff or land from a public sidewalk legally.....? do you think parks can legally restrict the 400ft airspace above them....? Not trying to fin a "workaround" but ill have to see if "public sidewalk" is in the language for local laws here.

    Im mostly talking about taking off and landing, as I laid out earlier, I dont see how it is possible with the current restrictions around, say, Horsetooth Reservoir and probably many other places. Cant take off on private land. public sidewalks. within the parks. so youre relegated to BLM land.

    Calm down, no need to become so aggressive. This is a simple discussion about the general consensus amongst drone operators and i find your assertion of my perspective to be an outright exaggeration In case there werent any clues in my post, I am mainly talking about - not just flying - but...

    I just get that feeling when i delve in to the local laws. my rationale is kind of like this- - say you want to do an overhead of a reservoir, park or other public lands, well my state has specifically forbid flying of drones in state parks - my county has forbid it ... say you then need to...

    Air 2S getting a max of 13 minutes of flight time. Wondering if defective or if that is expected because of altitude in CO

    Hows everyone else's flight time...? I think the Air 2S was advertised around 30mins. I'm at 13 with half and half hovering and movement.

    Air 2S remote losing signal at 4,200 - 5,000 ft and getting max of 13mins of flight time

    No sky scrapers. Small town with nothing blocking LOS. My elevation is around 5260ft. Am usually at 390ft AGL and it starts losing signal around 4200ft. Very well could be some interference as there have been reports from others about their vehicle's bluetooth disconnecting at this one exact...

    Air 2S remote losing signal at 4,200 - 5,000 ft and getting max of 13mins of flight time

    Wondering if there is a setting that would cause the signal to get lose and RTH, or if I have a defective Air 2S. I've seen some videos of other Air 2S'ers keeping a signla even past 15,000 - 20,000 feet. To be honest, the flight time seems to be way less than advertised as well (max of 13...

    "fly cautiously" keeps sounding, how to disable audio on app or fix the issue

    does it if any aircraft is within miles of me. i can see it, it could be 2000-3000-4000ft above me or 2-3 miles laterally of me, and the app audibly keeps saying "fly cautiously" and keeps repeating that non stop. so i basically have to RTH and put it away it is such a nuisance. any thoughts
