    Best Mavic Air 2 accessories?

    The ND16 that came with fly more has become an almost permanent part of the camera. Bought filer set that have gone unused. Have prop guards. Used them 3 times in 2 years. If you want to fly indoors they would get used a lot more. Added skin decals to increase visibility at a distance. Also...

    New Air 2s user

    Drone heating is normal. Stay out of sport mode on hot days. Your batteries will thank you. As for OA once you've honed your flying skills you might start to see it as a hindrance. As for obstacle courses switching into Cine and flying in increasingly tighter quarters with a clear view of your...

    Couldn't match same settings in Hyperlapse as Youtube tutorial.

    Try setting up your waypoint hyperlapses with a fresh battery. I was getting this behavior and noticed the drone would only allow for 3-5 second sequences when I tried to set up the flight after flying around for roughly 10 minutes. Swapped out a battery and was able to setup the sequence at...

    Wanted: GNSS/GPS Receiver

    Will the GLO2 present ASL data? What about decimal coordinates? Been pulling 6 digit decimals for rough GCP placement from the drone and curious to know if the GLO2 can produce a higher degree of accuracy.

    Photogrammetry for Air 2s

    Drone Deploy's Flight app is free to fly with if you have a drone that does on-board waypoints. I do agree their subscription is out of reach for many project budgets. Recently purchased a used Mavic 2 Pro for a number of reasons, avoiding another monthly subscription to DroneLink being one of...

    Photogrammetry for Air 2s

    WebODM is the freebie that will process but it generates enormous deliverables. You would need a web server to run WebODM for delivering full datasets to clients. Barry Houldsworth has some YouTube available to cover this process here: https://www.youtube.com/@aviosmedia. Otherwise you could...

    Do I Or Don't I?

    When considering wind resistance the Air models always come out on top. Minis are great drones but if you live in an area that experiences frequent windy conditions that is another consideration. With the Air 2/2S 20 knots constant or 25 knot gusts are a personal limit for safe flight and/or...

    Mavic Air Won't Exceed 98.4 feet Altitude and Won't Fly Litchi Mission

    GPS lock, A recorded HP or the use of different Transmission systems will not induce any 98ft height limitation... the reason is something else. Share a flight log from where you're limited in height, that will most probably reveal the true reason. ******************** Try to make it a habit...

    Mavic Air Won't Exceed 98.4 feet Altitude and Won't Fly Litchi Mission

    Your mileage may vary since my experience is with a MA2/2S but when I do not have GPS lock and the home point has not been set the drone will be limited to 98-99 ft. altitude. Once "the home point" is "found" I can proceed flying normally. Something to look at is are you getting GPS signal from...

    Mavic Air Won't Exceed 98.4 feet Altitude and Won't Fly Litchi Mission

    Reload Litchi on your device after cleaning up any preference/setting files.

    Photogrammetry for Air 2s

    You can use the pay as you go option with Maps Made Easy processing (fly with Map Pilot Pro or Dronelink) in conjunction with WebODM until you absolutely need (and you can determine) what plan suits you and your client's requirements. The convenience of MME for processing is you can embed an...

    Air 2s Tax $$ at work!

    Lots of batteries and multiple flights. Use an app like Litchi or Maven and run with a longer interval between frames. If you use DJI Fly the DJI Hyperlapse feature will constrain your interval and run length based on the battery level so you can setup your waypoint hyperlapse with a fresh...

    Photogrammetry for Air 2s

    Is the A2S the optimal mapping drone? Not really. Can it map? Yes it can. The precision of your maps will require ground control points and to get "accurate" GCP placement you'll need a GNSS receiver/rover to get precision location/altitude measurements. GCP workflow with WebODM will accommodate...

    Positive RID experience

    While I'm exercising the "privilege" of flying a drone in the FAA jurisdictional airspace I'll also be exercising my 2nd Amendment right to ensure my personal safety if the location from RID becomes an issue for a combative Karen/Ken. The law can only protect you from rational law-abiding people...
