I’m not sure we’ve seen any night time Mavic Air 2 photos posted.

I for one would be interested to see how it handles in low light :slight_smile:

BRAVO!!! :+1:

@ 2:18 - the colours and definition are so cool!!

That’ll be the “black balance” at that time of night. :wink: :laughing:

On the way out, it not yet being completely dark, just the hint of an horizon = spot on!

Fantastic video. Out of interest did you hit any interference during the flight? I imagine those ships probably kick out some fairly strong emissions.

Just a perfect example of what the Mavic Air 2 can do, well done !.
Have flown in close proximity to a cruise ship myself at night, not easy !.

Chances are the ship’s biggest emission is going to be the smoke from the funnel. :wink:

I would not have wanted to be in the radar sweep line !, have had a Mavic Pro do a nutty dance on me before at that point !.

It was close to the limit i think in terms of distance but i think i dropped it too low (i was on a clifftop when i started) and it lost connection for a second …i lifted it up and it was fine the rest of the time… connection indicator was orange though …

Wow, excellent footage, I must say you are very brave, I don’t think I would trust my drone that far away over sea, I would be worried that it would drop into the sea.

If it drops it drops.

  • little pieces if it lands on concrete
  • one big lost piece if it lands in a forest
  • one big law suit if it lands in a person.

Water seems like a good option? :wink:
