Don't go micro they suck flying in or outdoors. I got one that folds and it's good
I have a Pro zoom, a pro 2, and a spark. I live in Brockton and would be happy to do a small demonstration for you if we can during (or after) the pandemic.Any recommendations for drones for beginners ??? been thinking of the DJI mavic 2 pro
Don't the drones have GPS that blocks their usage in controlled areas? If you have a license are you able to get that feature disabled or removed from your drone?Study and learn the things you need to know to be a Part 107 FAA licensed sUAV Airman, as a commercial operator you get to do a lot of things a recreational operator does not, including being able to get FAA permission to fly inside of controlled airspace and it drops the requirement that you have to notify every airfield including hospital and business park heliports within a 5 mile radius of where you are going to fly, and there are a lot more of those out there than you think.

Thank you for the information. Do you have to give them your drones registration # or something so that they can shut it off for your drone?The approval is entered into a system that will let my drone props spin and let me fly.

I have been considering selling the pro 2 or zoom or both?
There is a mavic forum which may help aslo.
MAVIC PILOTS

I might buy one if you're selling , was looking into one for my company
Some of the newer ones make it fairly fool proof. Sensors all around to avoid hitting anything, can identify and track you automatically, or just hover / fly to a predetermined location and film. Honestly sounds like a nightmare come true for a few regulars on here...i'm too old to fly a drone. tried to do it a few years ago and found the learning curve very steep. i gave it to the neighbors kid and she was successfully in flight in an hour...maybe a little longer, lol. me, went back in the house and put an lp on the turn table and was thankful i maneuvered the tone arm down onto it without incident.
I'll probably have the same problem.i'm too old to fly a drone. tried to do it a few years ago and found the learning curve very steep. i gave it to the neighbors kid and she was successfully in flight in an hour...maybe a little longer, lol. me, went back in the house and put an lp on the turn table and was thankful i maneuvered the tone arm down onto it without incident.
this certainly doesn't sound like the drone i had, censors....wtf?Some of the newer ones make it fairly fool proof.

I’ve come to learn that no matter what, there will always be fool big enough such that you could never proof against them. “Fool resistant” has become my phrase of choice.Sensors, yes but they are not fool proof. Just saw a picture of a Mavic hanging from some power wires.
are there any pirate drones yet that hijack other drones?
If I would be an "operator" I am going pirate, yarrr.
First camera drone, get a used Mavic Pro and save some money. The Mavic 2 is a great platform but there are some great deals on the Pro which is still a great drone, just not the latest and greatest.
One advice on drone, drone tech advanced very quickly. Price drop also very rapidly. If you have the budget, get something good. If you just want to start flying, a cheaper older drone work too. Only invest what you can afford.
New DJI drone is releasing on April 27.
