    great video on camera comparison, including Mavic Air, Spark, Mavic Pro and even P4P

    I'm actually a little surprised how much difference between the Air and Pro that video shows...very interesting indeed. (Also a perfect example of why everyone I run into with a standard (not Heil) condensor mic is pointing the end at themselves)

    Mavic Air For my First Drone?

    If you're serious about video, the Air is probably the best you're gonna do by a fair margin. I don't think there's currently any competition for this size/camera combo. A friend of mine with no RC experience jumped in with a Mavic Pro and has managed well enough. I was able to prevent a few...

    3 Axis Gimble on MPP?

    No, I get stuck fixing everyone's stuff. Especially if it's a computer. <-- hence the avatar

    3 Axis Gimble on MPP?

    You have the Touch! Be careful or you'll end up like me

    Spark Propellers on the Air

    I don't think it's a terrible design decision at all. Do you know what their engineering criteria were? Or what they tested? I'm guessing R&D probably came down to a negligible space savings (I mean really...how much of a bother are the fixed props once they're nestled into the body? Looks...

    3 Axis Gimble on MPP?

    Looks to me like you'll need to send it in. There isn't any properly functioning mode I know of that should produce that result - far too erratic. I'd say recalibrate the gimbal first (might as well) but it seems more likely a hardware malfunction.

    3 Axis Gimble on MPP?

    It really sounds like the gimbal is behaving as if in FPV mode, which rolls with the aircraft to give you something closer to a pilot's eye view. If you're certain it's set to Follow, which should keep the camera level on the roll axis, and it's still rolling with right stick input, you may have...

    Why no course lock?

    Thanks guys...this answered a few of my questions.

    Marketing Misstep for DJI

    Perhaps i'm in the minority here, but if it seems like a reasonable feature set for the price, I couldn't care less what the box says on it. I'm not really sure where this armchair market strategy analysis is getting anyone.

    3 Axis Gimble on MPP?

    This is confusing without clear terminology. When you say "bank" do you mean pitch or roll?

    Mavic Air or wait for Mavic Pro 2....

    There are sketches floating around that show pretty much identical body work except for a mildly pointed nose. My money's on same size.

    MPro vs MAir - Occusync vs Wifi

    I sure hope that "Maiden Flight" title is BS because taking an untested ship (even a small one) out past 1km over a populated area on a foggy, windy day is not what I'd call responsible piloting

    Hello from Scotland

    Slàinte. what part? Lots of pretty country to fly over, as I remember it

    Camera tilt changes after stopping

    I've seen this on my friend's MP after bad gimbal calibration. Might try that, but make sure you get a DEAD LEVEL surface ...I've not dealt with the MA yet so that's about as much help as I'm good for

    Sony sensor?

    Video is just a ton of data...and the game becomes about how much you can shed before the image degrades noticeably. Doing that well is complex and process-intensive, so it's a wonder to me these light weight/low power chipsets do as well as they do. My hope is that the storage media continues...
