I didn't know a drone could crap! Now I want to get one just to bring a little payback to some sea gulls and pelicans. 
If you are not living on the edge, you are taking up too much space!
"Could do better if he tried!" Report card comments from most of my grade school teachers. Sadly, still true!

Awesome trip, I'm so close to getting a drone. I want to find one I can pack with me on the PCT, just so much stuff out there!

Get the Mavic Air 2. DJI makes the best drones, by far.

How much actual flying time do you see with the Mavic Air 2 battery?

I have the Mavic Pro 2. I never like to run the battery down much past 40%. Because you are always flying it far away, or on a boat, or following
the truck or bikes. Once it hits 50-60% I make sure it's on it's way back.
That gives about 15 mins of shooting, give or take. I have a small case that holds 3 extra batteries. So change out batteries often.
An inverter and multi-battery (3 at once) charger gets you charged up fast, anywhere.

Thanks for the impressive videos. Also for the good firsthand user report. Helps with a decision on investing in a drone knowing what to expect.
