After months of following the "sneak peaks" as well as the many and varied reviews since official launch of Mavic 2 series of aircraft I decided a couple of weeks ago to buy the Mavic 2 Pro. Haven't decided yet whether to sell the DJI Inspire 1 I cut my teeth on learning about both UAV flying and aerial photography. Work commitments and living within 4kms of an airport means I am yet to be able to go somewhere for a bit more than simulator touch and go fly rounds.
I live and work in a small town in the northern area of the South Island's west coast. Recreational activities abound everywhere, from extreme sports, to high country hunting and fishing, plus the more "sedate" pass times of tramping, cycling, kayaking, camping, glamping and 'freedom' camping.
On the face of it, the opportunities to launch a UAV for nothing more than snapping that next "great" photo seem limitless.
So far, reading some of the posts on this forum, I have been able to take a little bit of comfort from the fact that as a responsible pilot many of the challenges of knowing the "rules and reg's" around the use of a drone here in New Zealand are little different from similar situations in many other countries.
I look forward to much more reading of the experiences of other Mavic pilots - and maybe contributing my own two cents worth from time to time!
