New from Bronx, NY

Seems it’s going to be a little tough navigating the wheres and hows of flying in the city but I’m committed to giving it a go. Saw the Mini, liked it, then saw the Air had more of the capabilities I’ll likely need as a new pilot (mostly obstacle/collision avoidance) but I’m holding off until next Monday and will probably pull the trigger on the Mav Air 2 if it’s at a similar price point, especially with the purported 34-35 minute flight time. Here to receive any and all advice.

Specs aside, is there a reason why M2P is the best for trouble-free flying? I live 15 minutes away from LGA, so I’ve been trying to figure out how I can fly safely without getting into any major issues.

I assume LGA is LaGuardia? You will be within restricted airspace and as now a days there is a 5km restriction zone around airports you will get into trouble. You will have to download an app that gives you the fly zones. I cant tell you the best ones for the US as l am in the UK

Not a whole lot you can do with restricted air space. It is what it is and no drone that I am aware is going to change that. However, as far having a drone that "assists" the pilot from making bone head mistakes the M2P is the best that I have found for this hobby. If you start talking professional not so much but there again I'm just in the hobby aspect of drones. Get yourself a good App for the NFZ's in your area. I use "B4UFLY" and it has served me well.

Ah, I see. Yes, I’ve been pretty vigilant about learning what I probably should and shouldn’t do. I’m just in a perfectly terrible spot between a couple of different airports, naturally. ??‍ As a first timer, I want to purchase a really competent drone that will afford me some mistakes in piloting

Thanks, I definitely appreciate that. I’ll check around for a good deal. Hopefully, with the MA2 coming, we’ll see some price drops across the line.
