I love getting to fly my drone. Every time is a unique experience and you never really know what something is going to look like from the sky. I was recently in Medford, WI and took the drone out for a few short flights.

The lake was still partially frozen that day and the Mavic Air 2 was able to manage what little wind we had that day. I will say, and you can’t see it in these images, but you really need a polarized filter to help with the reflections and sun glare off the ice.

I’ve not been many places where I felt comfortable enough to turn off the safety features and put the drone in sport mode. I ran it up about 300 feet, put it in sport mode, hit record, and took off. You can see in the video below, what it looks like to be cruising 40+ MPH at 300 feet.
