    MasterShots on Air 2?

    You are right, I just update the iOS app and it does word it that way. I certainly hope they release it for the MA2. If they do, I hope they don't take too long. I waited a long time for them to finally have the Smart Controller support for the MA2.

    MasterShots on Air 2?

    I don't plan on upgrading to the new Air 2S. However, the biggest feature that they added is actually software based: MasterShots. Asking for those who may be more in the know if they think MasterShots will also be added to the MA2? This new feature would be a timesaver for me as I am not a...

    Flying in japan

    DJI no fly zones is not always accurate in countries like Japan. Basically the entire Tokyo area is a no fly zone because of population. Sent from my iPad using MavicPilots

    Saving cached maps

    Edit: I thought I knew the answer but now I am not sure! Maybe this is what you need enabled and then while on wifi, use the map in the app to cache the areas? Sent from my iPad using MavicPilots

    Emirates accept drones as checked-in baggage only

    I did a little digging on this. It appears that Dubai requires ALL airlines coming to or from Dubai to enforce putting drones in checked baggage. It's legal to fly there but you must get a license before doing so. They have very strict laws there in regards to privacy. Since Emirates is based...

    Would someone please settle this..can a landowner shoot down our drones or not?

    Googled "can I shoot a drone" and found this. oldtrapper answered the question but linking a reference. According to the FAA “regardless of the situation, shooting at any aircraft — including unmanned aircraft — poses a significant safety hazard. An unmanned aircraft hit by gunfire could...

    Would someone please settle this..can a landowner shoot down our drones or not?

    I haven't read all the court rulings but the most famous one that took place in Kentucky was about privacy. Meridith, the gun owner, was quoted as saying the drone was hovering while his daughter was sunbathing. He even said that if it was moving along, he would not have shot it. A battlefield...

    Would someone please settle this..can a landowner shoot down our drones or not?

    I think the most important distinction here is "the expectation of privacy". Drones have potential of invading ones privacy, a airliner 40,000 ft above does not. Sent from my iPad using MavicPilots

    Mavic pro attacked by bees

    If they are bees, could be yellowjackets (wasp), he would not be in trouble in this scenario. Law is to not " intentionally" kill them and he brought it down once they attacked the drone. I am presuming this video took place in the U.S. Sent from my iPad using MavicPilots

    Where do you store your batteries

    It's your preference but you asked the question. Keep in mind that there are a lot of people who live in high rises or places that don't have garages or basements. I lived in Tokyo in a high rise as well. Point being, these batteries are designed to be safe in households. Sent from my iPad...
