    Flying Close to Water

    Thanks everyone for all the responses, it is much appreciated :) Things went well, although I chickened out and played it pretty safe and kept around 9 to 10ft above the water at a minimum. In the footage it appears as though I'm lower than 10ft though, so the look I was going for worked fine...

    Battery Question

    Hi all, I am considering picking up a smart controller for the Mavic 2 Pro. Just wondering one thing, with a fully charged smart controller how many Mavic 2 Pro batteries would you be able to get through on average before your controller battery is low? If I had 4 batteries in my bird would I...

    Flying Close to Water

    Thanks guys for the responses, I might try to keep it at least 10ft off the water surface to be safe. Cheers.

    Flying Close to Water

    Hi All, Just wondering how confident you all are when it comes to low flying over water with the Mavic 2 Pro? What is the lowest you would fly to the water's surface? I have yet to fly the Mavic 2 Pro over water but I will be flying it over a river this weekend as my friends want to take some...

    It's here, It's here, It's here

    Nice work man! You reminded me of myself when I first got my drone, I procrastinated actually taking it up in the air out of fear of crashing it until my girlfriend pointed out that I didn't pay $2000 for a paper weight haha. After the first flight I never looked back, I was angry at myself...

    Australian drone pilot fined AUD$7750 for flying illegally

    That strategy would definitely be the best option in this circumstance I would imagine, there really isn't much else you can do but try to be as polite as possible and request they give you space. I think scenarios like this that fall into a "grey" area of the 30m rule and do need to be further...

    Australian drone pilot fined AUD$7750 for flying illegally

    There's definitely some groundwork that needs to be done on both sides of the fence in regards to the drone operator's awareness and the general public's awareness in regards to drone safety, legalities and exactly what constitutes unsafe flying. I would like to see departments like CASA...

    THOSE AUSTRALIAN GUYS (HUMAN FISHING BY DRONE) LOVE IT!

    Very cool! Looks amazing haha, I would be nervous as hell if I was the one being lifted up though, that drone is huge! If something went wrong and it went down on-top of you those blades would be deadly!

    Australian drone pilot fined AUD$7750 for flying illegally

    I agree 100% that it would be great if this story promotes safer flying from the drone community in Australia, I am a member of several drone groups on facebook and often see people posting images and videos and wonder to myself if they have any understanding of the rules, e.g. posting photos...

    Forgot to put my gimbal cover on my Mavic Air during transport

    No problems at all, happy flying!

    Forgot to put my gimbal cover on my Mavic Air during transport

    Don't stress about it, it's very unlikely that any damage will occur. Obviously it's better to have a cover than to not have a cover but it will almost certainly be fine, especially if secured in a case. My sister has a mavic air and her gimble cover broke a long time ago after she...
