- it has collision avoid sensors on the front, sides, back, and the bottom; this is a game changer, before other drones only had it on the
front/bottom; but a lot of your best shots come from flying backwards or sideways; it will automatically stop before hitting something
- it has something called Tap Fly. Meaning your can tap on an object on the screen and it will automatically fly there w/o you having to do anything.
The peak that I circled around in the video was about a mile away from me. I tapped on it on my phone and it just flew there. It automatically
increases or decreases height flying to the target. But the best part is you can rotate the drone and it still keeps flying in the original
direction. This allows for some really spectacular shots as you fly past an object and rotate back at it. In a nut shell, you don't need to worry
about the flying, and can focus on the shots/camera.
- there is a built in hyper-lapse mode
- it has advanced Active Track - which is the automatic tracking of moving objects (cars, boats, ppl, etc.), you just draw a box around what you want
it to track
- flies up to 45 mph and flights can be up to 31 mins.
- You can fly it up to 5 miles away and still get an HD video stream back; this is double what it was before. Not that you would fly it that far
away, but even when flying a half mile away, you get a much more consistent connection from the remote to the drone. Allowing you to sit in
obstructed areas (e.g. your car, etc.) to stay out of the glare of the sun
- the Zoom version has a 2x optical zoom, the Mavic Pro 2 is the same, but has a better camera, especially for photography, but doesn't have the zoom,
otherwise they are the exact same.
What did you do with the old one? I kind of want one and if I could get in the game under full blown retail I probably would.
I typically sell them on craigslists. There are tons of DJI drones on there.
I actually got this one on CL. It was brand new, in an unopened box. Got it for $850.
I'll check that out. No hurry and they are only getting cheaper now days. I'm gonna have a ton of time on my hands in the very near future and I need
some new hobbies to fill the days.

What's the current situation regarding restrictions/regulations/licensing with drones in the US? Thought you could not fly out of sight.
99% of droners are teenage boys and perverts, neither is known to follow regulations.
Woke!

Nice stuff. I've wanted one for a while but don't want another hobby! I'm going to thru hike the PCT in the next couple of years and really would like
a drone to pack with me,I'm thinking this is on the large side!? Very nice video...

It weighs about 2 pounds without the battery, and another 1-2 pounds with the battery. It folds up to be pretty small.
So what do you think of the idea that DJI internet capable drones can send data back to the Chinese Government. All those images along with accurate
location data could be put together and give them a great detailed view of the entire US.

What do I think? I think we should get that trash out of my thread before some political whack-a-do wanders in here. As this comment in the alert
makes your post of zero relevance to this thread.

If the Chinese were really interested it would be much easier and faster to fly a camera equipped private aircraft around to photograph whatever they
wanted. Many of these for hire around the country. Or they could simply use one of their surveillance satellites.
