I’m imagining a setup where new files go from MA2 to MacBook Pro (whose storage is limited to 500GB) where I do whatever organizing and editing, then periodically move everything to the drive in question, and backup the prized keepers to cloud. I’ll go with either one of the two from Prime...

@BleugrassBoy @eva2000 @Robert Prior - thank you all for this feedback! I think I'll start with external HDD, figure out a filing/directory system that works, learn how to edit and force myself to purge the stuff that I will never watch in the future, keep the rest on HDD and backup the most...

Thanks! It's the cloud backup part I am hoping to avoid due to costs. Was thinking that might be possible with multiple (redundant) external drives. For two years of google drive, I can have 2 x 4TB hard drives that are backups of one another. Or, way less space but SSD instead of HDD for same...

As a brand new Mavic Air 2 pilot with zero experience with photography or videography including SD cards, massive storage or directory management, etc. this is a really helpful thread so thank you all. It seems the most economical approach to storage is external HDD. I understand from reading...

I tried flipping new Air 2 upside down to kill motors after hand catch while landing on RTH to avoid big plants on ground and motors would not stop. Was scary and I cut my finger in the process (could have been much worse). For now on I’ll just pull down left controller but am afraid I may have...

Thanks guys. So any difference in wind performance between Air2 and Air2S?

Just had another thought. Is Air 2 as strong in wind as Air2S? Seeing some major discounts on it now

So appreciate the feedback! I really am drawn to the mini 3 pro, but hesitate after reading about the Air2S being much more capable of handling high winds. Sounds like I can't go wrong with either option. Probably will save myself some cash and go with the mini- thanks again!

Thanks! I'm also considering FPV. Thoughts?

thanks! Any specific make/model you suggest as a "good learning drone?"

I’m considering getting into the hobby and live in Stevenson, WA on an exposed hilltop. Wind gusts are commonly on the 30’s and 40’s. Thoughts from this group on what drone Is most capable with winds and a guess on how frequent I’ll be able to fly throughout the year? Just not sure it’s even...
