Following this thread. About to order an Air 3, but concerned about 'locked down' controllers and firmware that cannot be rolled back - that's just not right. Firmware is released with a bug, so the user HAS to be able to roll back to a stable version. Oh, the calamity, dogs and cats living...

It's the challenge. Why do people climb a mountain? They might get hurt or even lose their life. So, it's a bit of a 'rush' to fly out and back successfully because you're pushing the envelope (the rules), the machine, and your skills.

@JohnDS Did you ever decide on one? New user here with a used Air 2S. I admit, it's confusing as DJI released 26 consumer models in the past 8 years. Why so many?

Alright, guys... CapCut runs fine on my ~$100 refurbished Dell Optiplex 5050 and did import and render the .mp4 H.265 clips from my Air 2S - good enough for now. If I get into serious video editing, I'll check into a more serious PC and video card. The adventure is just beginning, and I've got...

I suppose my hardware is not setup to do anything special, but has worked ok with Sony Movie Studio Platinum 12. It's a Dell Optiplex 5050, i5 @ 3.2Ghz, 8GB RAM, Intel HD Graphics 530 video adapter which I think is just the stock motherboard graphics. I use 3 HDMI ports to HDTV monitors. I have...

Good to find this info. Trying Davinci Resolve here and it is crashing all the time rendering a 15 min clip. Seems to be a known problem. Maybe my PC needs more RAM, better video card... but it is frustrating.

Yes... so many questions, parameters, 'mission', etc. New to the regs and finding out more every day.

Trying to get a regulations flow chart started. Anyone should be able to view and edit this from the link: https://miro.com/flowchart/online/board/eBnRvATTW9H4py78Ovxp4fhluOh6tPoQ/

Code of Federal Regulations, title-14, chapter-I, subchapter-F, part-107: 26 pages for flying a quadcopter. (Note: US Constitution: 16 pages for starting a country.) Has someone created a flow chart for part 107?

10-4. I live sort of out in the country, and flew it behind the tree line. But, I'll get on those rules this weekend. Thanks for all the info.

Thanks, guys. I'm reading on here about the necessary training, rules and regulations. It's a new feeling to fly something by first-person view, have it actually get out of sight, perhaps out of range, and it come back and land by itself.

Done R/C airplanes on and off for decades. New to DJI. Just got an Air 2S - this thing is fantastic. Mainly plan to take it on jet ski trips to video the ride and look out for sharks on private beaches.

Interested. Bear with me as I try to understand what controller and displays it includes. Is that an RCN1 controller? 2 displays not in the picture? Marty in Pensacola, FL
