A:AnswerWhat's your definition of long distance? If flying in the US you have to keep your drone in visual range at all times. The Mavic 2 can fly pretty far away but it's small and can be hard to see.
A:AnswerThere is no need to connect to an iPhone, or any other phone, this is a SMART controller. Video and audio is completely, and more than adequately, handled by the controller.
A:AnswerThe short answer is YES! The drone is more than capable of flying most anywhere. However, there are restrictions and prohibitions associated with flying a drone. State and local jurisdictions have laws pertaining to the "legal" operation of drones. Check with the local authorities!
A:AnswerApologies for the confusion. The difference between these two is the remote controller (smart controller vs regular controller). You would need a smart device like cellphone to pair with regular controller.
A:AnswerI flew mine last week at 15 above zero and it did fine. I think the DJi website gives some parameters for temperature operation. But yes, it flys fine under freezing temps.
