I picked one up on Friday and captured the sunset during its maiden flight. Yesterday, I even threaded it through some trees and between power lines while helping my brother out with a project. It handled beautifully! I'm really liking it and I think you will too. Have fun!

This video explains how to get the Mavic Air controller to work with the simulator for anyone who's interested.

Mavic Air Litchfield, Maine 10/10/2018 8:20AM 392ft AGL NP/PL 16 EXIF: f/2.8, 1/90 sec, ISO 100 DJI GO Panorama feature was used to take 25 photos with locked exposure. Photos were then processed in Lightroom and stitched into a tiny planet using Kolor AutoPano Giga.

Ask and you shall receive. :) I had both and ended up selling my Pro. I favored the Air's portability, 100megabit bit rate, and it has been doing better in high winds due to the fact that it will automatically turn off sensors to fight the wind. If you fly the Pro with all sensors disabled, this...

This is a little memorial dam at the end of my road. It was great subject for a quick test flight.

I hope you learned some important lessons here: - Don't fly that high (hopefully there isn't a dead body found next to your drone) -Wind speeds at ground level are NOT the same as winds above (this is taught in grammar school) -Fly within line sight at all times Some tips to help out in these...

Absolutely! The filters usually have markings on them so you can become familiar with where those markings need to be for the strongest or weakest effect. Then, when taking the bird to the sky, if you know you're only going on one direction, or want to reduce glare off of water, for example, the...

Just as with digital photography, the polarization will be stronger at certain angles from the sun and weaker in others. For aerial photos, the same planning and execution done with a DSLR can take place. For video, the variance hasn't been very noticeable when flying in multiple directions, in...

This is correct. I had the Mavic Pro and just recently purchased the Mavic Air. When I added the drone to my existing commercial registration, it assigned a new number, and charged me another $5. There was no way around it... new drone, new number. Again, this was under the commercial...

I've had the Mavic Air for two weeks now and just put my Mavic Pro for sale. The deciding factors for me were the better video quality, the smaller size, and less weight. I go hiking a lot and having my drone with my camera gear in the same backpack is ideal. It means I'll have it with me more...

It's shown in this (long) video at around the 51:45 mark:

There's an active track feature that can be used which will follow your elevation. It basically keeps the same distance between you and the drone while following you.

I have the Polar Pro Vivid filters (ND/PL) and they fit perfectly with no interference with the gimbal cover.

I absolutely love the Nanuk 920 case for my Mavic Pro (shown here) so I'm going to wait for them to make a case for the Air. The latches on other cases kept breaking and these are the best design I've seen yet.
