Had my Mavic Air 2 for more than a month before I could actually fly it. I live in Florida next to an air force base and across the river from a general aviation airport and a private helipad so I am in both red and blue restricted zones. Had to wait until I could go off to some place safe. First flight was awesome though and well worth the wait. My first drone was nothing compared to this. And the video and still images were beautiful. I love it. Bought it mostly for travel images as we RV a lot.
