This is a bit of a wall of text, but please don't ever try to fly a mavic with your hands off the controls. I love my mavic, but I feel DJI's advertising is super misleading and a bit immoral in the fact that they imply you can just press a button and make it follow you while you put away the controller and do your thing. The reality is that the detect and avoid capabilities of consumer MAVs are laughable. The reality is this: the current generation of consumer drones aren't anywhere close to attaining safe autonomy at low altitudes or urban areas. They can also do a lot more damage than you'd expect; those flimsy plastic props carry enough energy to cut you to the bone no problem. You're legally required to maintain direct control of any MAV you operate, more importantly, it's really irresponsible not to. Things like the mavic seem like they're really predictable and easy to fly, and 99% of the time they are at this point, but at some stage it WILL have a gps glitch or experience gps occlusion, and it will fuck shit up unless you intervene. I'm really uncomfortable with a whole wave of people buying stuff like the Mavic today and flying them near other people or property with 0 training on what to do if the hand-holdy autonomy fails - which it will at some stage. If you want to break the law and experiment will hands-off operation, please at least do it somewhere far away from populated areas and really far away from airports. Better yet, just don't.
