I practice at the large area beside my hdb, less than 4m height. In the North region. Once I am good. I think can go marina barrage to take some aerial video.
I thought marina barrage is nfz still can fly?

Hi, has anyone tried telesin or pgytech nd filters for mavic air?
Thinking of getting nd filters for my mavic air, but there isn't much information regarding these two brands for mavic air so far.
Would appreciate if anyone has any reviews for them!

In hdb area you wont fly for far due to interference.You try to fly from Garden by the bay area to open sea and tell us the result.

Hi Gurus, anyone can recommend a compact size drone for carrying overseas to Australia for simple family recording of travel trip? Decent video/photo resolution, short range, compact size. TIA.

Dji Mavic pro 1 or 2 will be your answer.

I was in Japan the week before and it is my first overseas flight along the coast. Weather was hot that day and wind was very strong. The basic rule to fly in Japan is away from dense populated area, day flight and not more than 150m.

After taking off, i fly towards the sea and i realise my mavic was drifting and not in the direction i wanted. My HS is basic less than 5km. To counter i have to switch to sports mode which can only hit around 25km at max throttle.

For those wants to fly overseas, do take note of your drone condition else your drone might not return. You are very unlikely to encounter such wind in Singapore, i have tried flying on super windy days at very high altitude, still it can't compare to the wind i encounter along Japan coast at below 150m.

I did not try to go far and i only brought 3 batts which I used 2 only as it is too dificult to counter the wind.

Good luck to those trying out overseas flying
