    Air 2 A winter of cinematic mountain porn in Snoqualmie Pass, WA

    Thanks so much for the feedback. Can't recall if I had some really windy days filming this. I certainly got a few high wind warnings, usually when I come over a ridge it can be pretty windy. Most of the mountains out in this area are actually pretty low, usually under 5000ft so not as brutal as...

    Air 2 A winter of cinematic mountain porn in Snoqualmie Pass, WA

    With winter wrapping up in the Pacific Northwest I put together a collection of a my favorite drone shots filmed over the past season in Snoqualmie Pass, WA backcountry. Little mix of Mavic Air 2 and Skydio 2 shots in here. Can you pick out the Mavic shots?

    Care refresh... transferable?

    I believe he just filed a support case, the dji care was tied to the serial number.

    Care refresh... transferable?

    Just to confirm, I sold Mavic Air to a friend, care transferred with him. He had ESC failure shortly after I gave it to him and they replaced it no questions asked.

    Mavic Air 2 Active Track

    I've had mixed luck with this. Since I'm generally filming myself or me and a friend the only suitable method I've found is to start active track, set the controller down somewhere and go ride. Fingers crossed it stays with you and doesn't disconnect. More than once I've had to hurry back to the...

    What Does DJI Have That Is Comparable to SkyDio2 Follow-Me???

    I have both Skydio 2 and Mavic Air 2 and nothing holds a candle to Skydio 2 when it comes to autonomous flight. I've been flying drones since 2015 mainly filming action sports. I came into the game wanting some motion tracking and six years later, 10+ drones later, only Skydio 2 has delivered on...

    One of the reasons I really love DJI is how they stand behind their product...

    Never shared the crash, here's what happened. I'm in an open area, no trees, about ~100 ft up I think when this happened. Just got notice that my Mavic has been delivered to UPS for shipping. :)

    No it just fell out of sky, took off to about 100ft, was filming a pan shot and suddenly it just dropped. DJI determined it to be under warranty due to ESC failure. I was surprised but I'm not gonna question their evaluation.

    Not DJI Refresh here. It expired back in January. I figured if she took a dive it would give me reason to buy a new one. ;)

    I know not everyone has had positive experiences with DJI support, and well in a perfect world our drones wouldn't crash at all.. but they do and I absolutely love when a company stands behind their product. It really makes me stick with the brand and want to sing their praises. I had my Mavic...

    Android tablet for use with controller

    I'd love to know this too. I'm currently using and iPad mini 4 and I have real problems with screen brightness in certain lighting conditions. I was filming in snowy mountains last weekend and was flying by braille half the time.
