    Remote ID - Does the Air2 Already Have it?

    I do not believe so. I think you are thinking of ADS-B in the MA2, but that is just a receiver that sees manned aircraft sending out an ADS-B signal.

    Found Mavic Air 2 in national park. What to do?

    The FAA website says that failure to register a drone that requires registration may result in regulatory and criminal penalties. The FAA may assess civil penalties up to $27,500. Criminal penalties include fines of up to $250,000 and/or imprisonment for up to three (3) years

    Found Mavic Air 2 in national park. What to do?

    So funny that everyone is focusing on flying over a national park and not about flying without a FAA registration number on the drone.

    Remote controller going bonkers - Mavic Air 2

    I get this from time to time too. I find that recalibrating the remote works. Another thing to note is if the sticks are not in the neutral position when you power up the remote it will beep like that as well.

    New Drone owner took first flight today. Experience and questions

    After turning on the drone (with the remote already turned on first) I always wait until there are enough satellites locked so that the home point updates on the screen BEFORE taking off. you can use an iPad (I use an iPad mini 5), but you will need a holder since it will Not fit in the built...

    Air 2 shipping

    I see Amazon has it in stock currently and it is a Prime item, meaning an order today will be at your door in 2 days if you are a prime member.

    Mavic Air 2 - Is it really THAT bad?

    I’m coming up on 100 flights now with no problems. I had the Phantom 3 Advance before this and I am much happier with the MA2. In fact, the MA2 has been a godsend with all of the extra time I have had on my hands with Covid19.

    Mavic air 2’s are unexplainably falling from the sky

    I am coming up on my 100th flight now and have not had so much as a blip of a error with the AC. I also have never had a loss of signal, which could not be said the P3A I had before it. I have been extremely impressed with the performance, especially given all of the features for the price...

    Ordered direct from DJI - Shipment Delayed

    Amazon shows it in stock now and 2 day prime shipping. If you have an Amazon Prime Visa card you will also get 5% back. Sounds like a win win to me. BTW, that is where I purchased mine from and was very happy with the delivery times and 5% rewards back on my card.

    Beeping Remote At Power Up

    Has anyone had their remote beeping once it is turned on? Intermittently mine will have a repetitive beeping until it is turned off and back on. Sometimes it takes 3 or more cycles before it cures itself.

    REALLY torn - upgrade or not?!

    Sounds like you have already decided, but one big pro you left out was the ADS-B. I have really come to like the system since I can have lower flying aircraft in my area even though I am more then 5 miles from an airport. I love that it gives me a heads up before I can even hear the plane and...

    Now What !!!

    Will me old MA SD card work for the new MA2

    It should work, but you might want to have a 128G card and use your current card as a backup. I have found that after 3 or 5 flights filming at 4K the 64G card is completely filled up since the files are huge. It also convinced me to buy a 5TB external hard drive to download all of these...
