My New Year's Wish for my Mavic is .....

[icecoldgin]

... add waypoints to the Mavic and Fly App. Wishful thinking?

. . . to keep missing trees.

Shouldn't that be ....to keep missing Ents? After all, we do know 'trees' jump onto the flight path

A zoom function for photos!

We can only hope, but it will have to be good to out pace Litchi.

Mav3 Raw and DLog for zoom lens. FPV goggle support...2 hour battery life...All equally possible, it seems.

I like the 2 hour battery life,but the other stuff sounds good too.

A geo-fencing and LAANC integration. One can dream...

Two hour flight sounds good. How about changing LOS to sight thru visual controllers.

A week of daily flying opportunities not interrupted by weather and all the other things that keep me out of the air...mainly life...lol...

I think the two hour battery life relates to goggles' battery life.
If I understand what you mean with your second point, flying using the image seen on a screen gives you no where near the field of view of the sky that you get when using you eyes to look at the sky,
Watch any drone camera recorded video of a flypast by birds and watch how quickly they appear and disappear through the edges of the field of view. So I think such a change is unlikely in the extreme, for hobby flyers at least.

Yeah. I would love this

Autel's App for their Evo3 is going to have picture in picture video allowing the operator to view the video feed coming from the Obstacle Avoidance cameras. You'll get to view what the OA cameras see. That will be interesting.

I had to google Ents, though it must be a typo.
Recognise those from watching movies with the kids when they were young.
I see middle earth mentioned, they had one like that in one of the harry potter movies.

It may be useful in post to capture the different camera shots, but the P.I.C. has a lot going on during the flight.

Six or more camera feeds could be overwhelming to process while flying.

In the book the Ent's and the 'trees' of their forest, Mirkwood?, dispose of the Orcs attacking or left over from the attack on Helm's Deep. This was missing from the cimema release, I heard it was in the special edition DVD, I really wanted to see the scene,
When I found the DVD on ebay the scene was only a few seconds long, I was gutted.

Wish list...

Maybe a separate 360° camera for BVLOS flights?

It seems one of the negatives of BVLOS is that the standard camera gives a limited view of the flight and the pilots situational awareness of the area.

What about a separate PIP window that had a 360° view of the world being viewed while wearing positioning sensitive goggles that track you head movements?

You could fly and look around during your flight.

We can fly drone on Mars that is waaay BVLOS.
