Gonna check FPV out soon. :yes:
This might be a silly question, but I got here through that expensive hobby thread and been looking at drones. You're in the NE ohio area. Are we restricted in flying these things? Which model you fucking with right now?

For context, I live around forests that basically stretch from up here to Akron. I'd like to explore some of that shit where able to. lol Also do some urban stuff.

I live on the Cleveland Shaker boarder and there's no real restrictions around here. I fly my Mavic 2 Pro lately when I fly. This DJI No Fly Zone map will show you all of the restrictions for anywhere on the planet. Just punch in you city or just grab the map over to the area you will be flying in. Remember, if you get a DJI drone, the software won't even let your propellers start if you're in a NFZ. If you're far away from airports, you should be ok.

I don’t have experience with other drones outside of DJI but this app is a god send. I’ve used it all over the world and it’s come in clutch everytime, no matter the country. Even if you try and fly through a red zone or restricted area, the aircraft just hovers at the line and doesn’t allow you to breach. Amazing tech.

Be sure to keep up with the updates. :yes:

Been eyeballing that Mavic 3 Cine. The camera on it is sick. I'm really close to buying it with the Fly More kit. :happymad:

I have 4 batteries for my M2P and they charge and discharge ok but #3 tends to swell up after flying for 20 minutes or so. It was to the point that it was raising out of the slot in the aircraft. I still use it but now I use a slim velcro strap and strap the batteries down now when I fly. That has been a problem with some M2P batts according to some owners smh.

I have the original Mavic Air and batteries are looking like $199 a piece on Amazon :angry:
I'm gonna rock with the two batteries I got until the wheels fall off. Hopefully, there will be some new hotness by then. Fuck Apple tho.

Need a big name like Apple to push DJI to do better.

Looked on YouTube a lot of people are having the same problem with DJI batteries.

Damn son. That's big time. Did you get the regual are cine version?

Congrats


I had to go with Cine. Cine has some cool features and affects if i was using Apple software... something like that, but I bought the Cine version mainly because of the 1TB of internal memory, the Smart Controller and also the resale value will hopefully be better. I didn't think they would bend, but I talked down an Amazon rep on prime day and she brought the price down 10 percent, from 4,999 to 4,499. It's been in my shopping cart for months. I know I shouldn't have but this will stay in the air twice as long as my Mavic 2 Pro, so... that's my excuse and I'm sticking with it. :)
