Howdy from Melbourne, Australia.

Had the Mavic 2 Pro for about a week, upgraded from a Phantom 3 Advanced. Was a strange experience not being able to find the DJI Go 4 app on Google Play, and then having to manually download it from DJI. Then next day it's back on the store.

Loving the tracking feature and point of interest mode. Only been able to run a short 20m flight, due to weather conditions. Got the fly more pack, and the props pgytech holders to make sure it's easier to store in the bag. Can't wait to take it out for an extended flight, though the 31m flight time I doubt will ever be achieved. The controller on these runs flat a lot quicker than the PH 3 controllers.

Thanks, yeah I'm a member of the Phantom forum too. Went there first looking for Mavic area, but found it's a whole separate forum.

Welcome to the forum Rumbaar.
My son lives in Melbourne and over there quite a few times a year, sometimes flying in various places along the way.
Enjoy the new Mavic.

My son moved there a couple of years ago, very busy IT tech, but he has drones . . . so he rarely flies his due to work commitments.
Mostly just for a bit of fun when he's up on a mates little acreage Kilmore East on weekends.

I guess just check out the 'Can I Fly There' app, scale out, and see what you can find in a place CASA allows.
I'd say some of the ranges / state forests would be nice inland, perhaps some of the coast away from busy metro beaches . . . or fly them at dawn when no one is around, and the light is best at golden hour.

Vic Nat Parks are off limits, but if very remote I personally don't see what harm or issues a short flight of 10 - 15 mins could cause.
Ditto councils, many of which have bans from taking off or landing on 'their property' inc local parks.

Just remembered, you have had the P3 so you probably know all that

Nice, I used to live in Wallan many years ago. But still in the north of Melbourne, so have open areas to fly. Thanks for the detailed reply , and yeah I mostly don't fly like an idiot, so haven't had much issues anywhere I've flown.
