I'm not really worthy of this thread. Just a guy with a cell phone who saw an interesting looking sky and took a photo from a bridge:

Another evening of shooting, friend brought out the Mavic 2 Pro, 1st time seeing one up close, personal, and operating. I was more intrigued by what it could do and see then trying to get some nice city shots with my own gear. It's a wrap brehs, unless there is some major differences in the Mav 3 when it drops, I'm picking one up.

Working on my 5th DJI drone. The 3's aren't even rumored until next year, if that. And the most they'll have is 4k/60 frames (vs. 4k/30) and that's about it. I wouldn't wait. With the Air 2 just dropping (piece of shyt) the 2's have been lowered drastically. I'd jump on them and don't even worry about waiting on the 3s. If anything, you can sell your 2 and upgrade for about $500 if/when that happens

Breh, the more I think about it, you're right. I got 2 friends who have Mav 2 Pro's they love them. I just seen something in the new about a patent issue where some company is trying to get DJI to stop selling drones in the US. About to jump on this right now before I can't get one.

I remember you made an official Drone thread. Once I seen what it could do and how easy it is to fly it, it was a wrap. My fam that live in Atlanta showed me his footage from a vacation resort in Costa Rica :noah:. Flew over the the hotel, above the trees and out near the water, good Lord it was crystal clear and smooth.

Yea I figure I'll do pics in here and video in there. I'm known as the guy that will fly ANYWHERE. Give me 90 seconds to unfold and I'm gone. I've flown at all sorts of crazy ass places... Like Eagles stadium with my Air

I have one too but I don’t have a docking station.
How many batteries do you have?

Mine came with 3, and the controller also needs to be charged, I usually don't get docking stations in general, but I'm thinking about it for this stuff just so I can grab and go and I know it's all ready to go.

I have two batteries. I just charge everything the day before I want to use it. I was gonna get the DJI battery dock at one point but it charges the batteries sequentially instead of all at once so I really didn’t see a major benefit over using the charger that comes with the drone.
