Idiots like that gets drone pilots in trouble and advertise it on YouTube. That guy flying the drone should get a kite

I guess I do not see the point of doing that, as the narrator clearly noted. Better to use Google Maps or Earth. The video was not that impressive. But as for the narrator hinting it was ok to drive a new car fast ......... that is really far more dangerous that this little drone. 3500lb car at 150 mph versus a 570 gram drone? Come on. Physics will always rule. E=½MV²

Not cool really, once you've seen someone else do this on YT, then you really don't need to do it yourself.  The fewer idiots the better.

The feed is incredible, is it better than the M2P feed?

Because everything is in focus.. that's why it looks better.  How do you get away with having everything in focus w/o driving the aperture to 11??

Hello there. Thank you for reaching out and for sharing this video you have came upon. Let us all please follow the local rules and regulations where you fly  DJI drones to avoid any unwanted incident and to avoid any penalty on our hobby in the future. Thank you.

Click bait for the drone police 1...2...3...

Very much agree. There are legit reasons for being able to set the Max Altitude above 120m (400 feet) such as going up a mountain slope where I live. These infractions may force drone companies to allow only the legal maximum to be set and so in my case the MA2 would far less useful.

MA2 is hardwired to 500m altitude and 11km distance. The legal use of that altitude would be flying up a mountain or a tower.

that's not going to happen.

When you have an amazing 4k camera but share the screen record instead... Also, eveyone, notice he is in a restricted zone on top of it all!

Meh, it's obvious...

Because the camera has everything in focus which is why it looks sharper.  With the M2P even at f/11 everything isn't in focus.  Even some cameras/lenses at the highest set available aperture doesn't have everything in focus and you get diffraction.

I'm not sure why some companies don't make a standard lens to have Everything in sharp focus as at times I want Zero bokeh.  They should be called something unique so people know what to look for.

It's kind of like a new sports car, the urge to see how fast, high, or far it will go.  I agree the car is far more dangerous.  I recall the day I got my Vision+.  Flew off both original batteries during the day.  About 3 am I'm looking at it sitting there & felt the urge for my first night flight.  Amazing how much the camera improved between the P2 Vision+ & P3 series, even the P3 Standard, especially in nighttime recording.

These drones aren't really great for night.  You need an X5 or better in the air.

I guess the big difference is that you know the normal cost for speeding. you get a ticket and go to court. You don't want that drone ticket. In both scenarios i would hope for no accidents, but I understand your view, thanks for the input.

The X5 is a nice camera with its Micro 4/3 sensor, but it's a bit much for the average amateur drone pilot.  The X5 camera alone cost more than a P4P or Mavic 2 Pro!  Not to mention those birds both fly longer & farther than an Inspire 1.

You can get an Inspire 1 X5 for for the price of an M2P.  The amount of work required makes the M2P a better solution especially if something goes wrong, the damage would be a lot higher on the Inspires.

Big deal. I took my MA1 to 1640. So what...

Naaa. Deleted the video. Was boring. Went straight up and nothing more. But I did keep a screen grab.

Wow - what altitude was that taken at?

Off topic but you have a new subscriber

Thats up there.

1640 feet ( max )

Wait...is that a helipad in the photo? Or a home position indicator? Hmmmm....

Brave man - nice views though

Its a Life Flight helipad across from my house. I can tell when it takes off and I know its flight path. Other than that, no other aircraft in the area.

Illegal and stupid.
The main reason we get more and more restrictions....
