Thanks mate - just some captures amongst testing all the new features on the MA2 following the FW update on Monday

Just spotted this sequence, must have missed it the other day. Still enjoying the MA2?

It's become my favourite drone mate and I don't say that lightly. I hate editing in post and this one does a good job out the camera. It ticks a lot of boxes for me. I've been doing manual dolly zooms for the first time since the new update - great fun. Though its been raining all day so no flying for a while.

You're obviously delighted with it. May it give you many hours of satisfaction before the next model is announced ;)
I've just got back from a Litchi Waypoints mission using the old P4. It's still performing like a good'un.

I do miss the P4P - I saw a guy flying his the other day at a nearby model aircraft field - brought back so many good memories. Great to see DJI reintroducing the V2 version of it. I'm quite surprised there has not been a Phantom 5 but I think the Mavic's have practically cannibalised the Phantom series now and pushed it from the prosumer market into the more niche Enterprise market with RTK and multispectral cameras with a price tag to match...

Or with an RTK2 base station...

Wow - hahaha - you couldn't buy a stack of bricks for that in London these days - property prices are obscene.

Though Manchester house prices are starting to boom too though London remains something else - I'm not complaining as a home owner here

No worries. It's not our generation that need to worry, but inflation makes it ever more difficult for the youngsters  to get on the property ladder   But we digress - back to flying the MA2 over Herts.  Is the forecast good for next week?

I was a Bank Manager not so long ago - I had to reject mortgage applications from Doctors that couldn't afford to buy a flat - says it all!

My wife and I are taking our son to the Peak District next week. Hired a little cottage near a beautiful lake in the middle of it to get away. I will obviously be taking the drone

I'll see if I recognise any of the places you shoot. We lived for many years in High Peak. Have a great trip.

Thanks my friend. Is flying illegal there? It seems a very grey area for drones as depends on who owns which section of land from what I can see. Think I'll play it by ear when I'm there.
