[QUOTE="I B Spectre, post: 112694, member: 18605"] Initial reviews are very impressive. Ever since the late Christmas present from the FAA on their Remote ID (RID) proposal, I've hit the pause button on further hardware considerations. The Air 2 has OcuSync which I'm presuming to be different than WiFi connectivity and I'm not sure how that would impact RID implementation for tracking/reporting. Air 2 also has AirSense (ADS-B) like the Enterprise level drones and Mavic 2 Enterprise model. I was surprised the RID NPRM stated the FAA had rejected using ADS-B, yet DJI has incorporated it in the North American release. It looks like a good use of technology to announce and display the location of near-by aircraft onscreen, provided they have ADS-B as well. Buyers not affected by FAA regs probably don't have much to worry about unless their airspace administration adopts the FAA model. I may be overly concerned about how it's all going to come out and for sure it's not going to happen very quickly, but I hate sinking money into something that's going to be an expensive doorstop if it goes the wrong way. At any rate, for those inclined to snatch an Air 2 up, the Fly More Combo looks like a no-brainer since extra batteries go for $115 a piece. [/QUOTE]
