    New product: Mavic Air Parallel Battery Charger

    I got mine from Amazon a couple days ago. Put it to first use today. Liked it. Haven't timed it yet but it's "fast enough" in that I'm not running outta batteries even with continuous use (I have 6 batteries and can stay in the air with this charger continuously). Form factor is nice...

    Official Mavic Air Range Leaderboard!

    Because regardless of where you live, assuming you're comfortable with the units/have a feel for them (which a lot of us do), a system like metric based on factors of 10 still makes a *lot* more sense.

    Power Consumption

    I'll do some tests myself when I get some time (and ran some searches but couldn't find anything) but does anyone have any idea if there is a decrease in power draw when obstacle avoidance is disabled and/or GPS is disabled? I'm doing a lot of flying on pretty accessible, private land and...

    Is Mavic Air camera as bad as Mavic Pro?

    Well, I’ve never gotten free product from DJI and I think it’s alright. When considered in context I think it’s great. Remember, for $799 you’re essentially getting a camera that is capable of flying itself that also happens to fit in a pocket (ok, a large coat pocket, but still!). Without...

    Workarounds for no dial controlling exposure compensation?

    Did DJI remove the gimbal up/down feature using the wheel on the back left of the controller or are you talking about something else? I love that and if so, I want to know so I won't update!

    Couple of Air vs. Pro questions

    Hahaha, not exactly, with the EVO you have *nothing*. It doesn't exist (as a consumer product or something beyond a few demo devices). I am sure it will at *some point*, but with Autel, who knows. There isn't an FCC reg for the controller yet even!

    Battery charging from other sources

    There are a lot of products that do the "power bank with the AC outlet" thing. I'd really look into the technicals on those. First, it's *incredibly* inefficient (e.g. there is so much loss from DC battery -> AC -> DC adapter to charger), if you at all can just do DC - DC *do it* (e.g. get the...

    Purchase New Controller

    Does anyone know if DJI plans to (or does) sell the Air Controller as a separate accessory SKU? I'd like to buy an extra to mod but don't want to mess with my primary controller for obvious reasons, but also keep it small for travel and have a big, modded one for when space doesn't matter but I...

    Charging Systems & Mavic Air Intelligent Battery Compatibility

    Thank you - not having the others in hand to compare made this simple question hard for me, thanks for the answers!

    Charging Systems & Mavic Air Intelligent Battery Compatibility

    I did a search and couldn't find anything, apologies if this is a dupe, but I am trying to ascertain if the Mavic Air battery pin out/charging dynamics/needs are compatible with Mavic Pro chargers (I know the batteries are quite different), the physical connector seems (from pictures) similar...
