Going to NYC on Thursday and bringing my Mavic with me, but i'm sure the whole city is a NFZ or am i mistaking?

you will find some spots along the west and east side of NYC you can fly over the river
enjoy your trip
go a little north up the Hudson River

This is a good spot

Yeah, I'm in Manhatten on business in about ten days and will only have one evening free to fly (and maybe 1 morning early). I'm staying near Times Square. How can I find these little spots? I appreciate the info...I struggle to make any sense of the different map apps.

I use Airmap and you can also take the ferry from several parts of the west side over to New jersey and what a wonderful view of the city. Then just fly across. also do an youtube search of NYC drone flights you'll find a lot and then check air map to see what zone your in. keep in mind i ask the local police most have no idea and just tell me "as long as you follow the rules " they have no idea
have fun and enjoy NYC

I get out there about once a month, so lots of chances to "redo" if it doesn't work out this time. This is just my first time with the Mavic.

Thanks map doesn't mean anything to me...what am I missing? LOL

Thanks, Jimmy.

Vacation was fantastic. Was very happy I got to fly the MP. Now that I have filmed over there, Florida seems blah and flat with nothing interesting to film.

I was back the Friday before Memorial Day. I wish I would've known you were in town. I would have loved to meet you in person finally. Let me know when you will be down again.
