    bad signal/transmission distance (Mavic Air 1)

    Fcc mode works very well. I've reached about 4km before returning back to the home Point.

    Battery dropped from 53% to 0% ,almost lost my MA

    Is any way to update the batteries firmware directly?

    Mavic Air range vs. Mavic Mini?

    I use them too. They are quite cheap plus I think they do boost the range by 20 to 30% in my case even when I flew in CE mode. I found them useful and are always there in my kit bag.

    Mavic Air range vs. Mavic Mini?

    Mavic air handles better much than mini in strong winds. Switched to FCC mode recently, the results are great. I am currently testing the Max range. I've achieved 3.6 km till I decided it fly it back home. I covered 8678m distance in total 19 min Flight with 11% Battery left. Posting the record...

    FCC mode

    Yesterday I flew about 3.4 km one way over open fields without any connection lost. Landed back with 14% Battery left with 6947 m total distance covered. That's my top distance so far.

    FCC mode

    I recently got a brand new mavic air as a replacement from DJI. My 11 month old Drone had some Motor fault. The First thing I did was switched to fcc mode. The flying range improved vastly. I went 2.5 km one way couple times without any connection lost. FCC is highly recommended. 11/10

    Your Best Looking Shots/Video

    Honestly i had kinda lost the sight of my drone in those thick clouds. I was trying to get it back asap. It was suppose to be a normal flight but the footage came out decent. I hope you all liked it.

    Poll-What kind of range are you REALLY getting with your Air?

    I get around 1800 m to 2000m. Sometimes i use those parabolic range boosters. I think they do help in extending the range a little bit without losing signal.

    Should I be afraid to fly my Mavic Air up high ?

    Thanks for pointing it out but I'm very much aware of the drone laws in my country. I fly in a very remote area. As mentioned I've taken it to 500 m only a few times. Again no airliners operate where I fly my Drone. There are few power grids going across where I fly. They stand around 60m tall...

    Should I be afraid to fly my Mavic Air up high ?

    I'm from India. The maximum altitude i can fly it up here is 500M but the maximum altitude i've achieved on this drone is 3174 meters:p. I recently took it on my road trip to Bhutan. I flew it on the top of a mountain in very windy conditions. I wouldn't recommended that to anyone but i tend to...

    Should I be afraid to fly my Mavic Air up high ?

    I've taken my mavic air at 500m few times already. It holds itself very well. Just keep in mind to fly it up at remote locations.

    Just me, my Mavic Air, and a few accessories

    I too bought mavic air for it's compactness. I recently took it with me in my trek bag to kingdom of Bhutan. It really didn't occupy much space. Secondly I was on a solo motorcycle trip from India to Bhutan. I also had couple of minor crashes with my bike where I landed on bag with the Drone in...
