I received this warning while preparing to launch at roughly 10,000' MSL. Yes, the message came up in the Fly app. Regarding flying lower than 1 meter AGL I believe it's a warning advising you not to do so at speeds greater than 5 m/s. I don't think the A2S is actually limited in any way from doing it. Based on the warning message, I read it as "don't do this because you are at an altitude where the air is thinner and as such, the flight characteristics of the aircraft will be negatively impacted so fly with extra caution." I.E. Don't fly faster than 5m/s if flying at this altitude (MSL) and under 1 meter AGL.
I've strictly followed the warning, only flying slowly in Cine Mode at any point where I was lower than 1 meter AGL. That being said, I don't know if the Fly app/aircraft will actually prevent you from exceeding 5 m/s while flying less than 1 meter AGL at high altitudes if you choose to ignore the warning.
So, the original question still remains unanswered: I've checked the owner's manual to determine the max speed while in Cine Mode however, it does not give a max speed for that particular mode. Oddly enough, on page 11 it clearly states max speed for Normal Mode is 15 m/s, and for Sport Mode it is 19 m/s.
However, for Cine Mode it only states the following: "Cine mode is based on Normal mode and the flight speed is limited, making the aircraft more stable during shooting." It does not give a speed in m/s as do the other two modes. For some reason, I seem to recall seeing a YouTube video where it was mentioned that Cine Mode is 5 m/s but I can't seem to find it again to verify. Does anyone know the max speed of the Air 2S in Cine Mode?
