Hey everyone!

New Mavic 2 Pro pilot (to be) here!

I've had multiple toy drones over the years but nothing like this! Picked up my brand new Mavic 2 Pro on Thursday! My plan is to absorb all the wisdom I can from all you VETS out here before I even think about getting airborne with this beauty! I live in a small town outside Ottawa, Canada and travel quite a bit to remote areas, looking forward to sharing some sweet nature shots!

I have experience as a Flight Service Specialist with Nav Canada and have a decent amount of knowledge about the aviation industry in Canada, I believe this will help me along my quest. I will be completing my basic and advanced courses as well as completing the Transport Canada requirements to operate commercially. My goal is to be set up well and be in a position to offer professional aerial services on a part-time basis come spring time.

I have many questions which I am certain I will find great information about in the threads.
(i.e Insurance, post production, business practices, registering new drone, target markets, etc).

Something I have a special interest in pursuing and learning more about are the different applications for drones in emergency services. I am a volunteer firefighter in my small community and can attest to how helpful having these capabilities would be for certain incidents (search and rescue, ice water rescue, scene 360, etc). I understand with adverse conditions (cold, smoke, etc) these scenarios likely require the use of a more capable drone, however that is why I am here, to learn.

That's a bit about me!

Thank you all in advance for any of the help I come across on this site! Looking forward to sharing!
 
Hello and welcome to the forum. Greetings from San Diego!

You’ll certainly come to the right place for guidance.
 
Welcome to the forum! :)

Here are some things to help you get started with your Mavic 2 Pro:
  • The current Mavic 2 Pro manual can be downloaded here (it doesn't come in the box). Other important documents can be found on the Mavic 2 downloads page.

  • Check out this getting started guide for some tips not found in the Mavic 2 Pro manual.

  • Your drone batteries will last longer if you use and maintain them like this.

  • Practice flying outdoors in a wide open location that's free of all obstacles. Don't attempt to fly inside your house or in other confined locations.

  • The drone records flight data each time you fly. You can decrypt and view those flight logs with these tools.

  • Check out MavicHelp.com for commonly used accessories you might need.

Hello from the Hoosier Heartland Area Aerial.

Welcome to the Forum. :cool:
 
Welcome to the forum!
 
Welcome to our Forum, from Hauptmann in Texas USA!

You'll find that flying your Mavic 2 Pro or any DJI quad is so easy. They practically fly themselves. This can lead to overconfidence.

Read the manual, and be conservative at first. Practice using “Find My Drone”.
Chances are you will crash and perhaps lose your bird. Don't wait until that happens to learn how to recover a lost drone. Lots of good stuff to shoot throughout Canada. Whenever you need help, there are over 120,000 of us from around the world to assist you as you gain experience and grow as a pilot and photographer.

Glad to have you as a member!


 
Welcome to the forum. We look forward to your participation and view of the world.
 
Greetings from Kanata (ON) . You'll have a ball with it. Safe flying.
