I change them if not damaged, every six months, 100 flights or 20 hours (whatever comes first).

You can get 64GB cards that can do up to 90MB/s. “SanDisk Extreme MicroSDXC 64GB 90MB/s” The 128GB card that I have goes up to 160MB/s. “SanDisk Extreme MicroSDXC 128GB 160MB/s”

I could only get 128GB at the time, it is way too much. A little bit of 4K and photos on two flights would use up to 30GB. Always backup after my flights. 64GB is more than enough IMO, also SD cards fail, bigger the card, more to lose.

Had the Atti issue the other day on two flights, even though it was clearly flying using the GPS. Today done two more flights and no Atti notifications. So might need to fly back at the other location and see if it happens again.

I use the SanDisk 128GB Extreme microSDXC UHS-I Memory Card, which I back-up after every flight. 128GB card was on sale at the time when I purchased my Mini 2, 64GB cards have been hard to find locally in the brick and mortar stores, have a dislike for purchasing any type of SD cards online...

It hasn’t, got numerous “GPS signal weak. Switched to Attitude mode. Aircraft unable to hover. Fly with caution” errors on two flights today and clearly wasn’t flying in ATTI mode, since the drone remained stable (hover) and easy to control. also had the DJI Fly app crash or close on my iPhone...

Ground air temperature was 28°C (82.4°F). Winds mostly light, with the odd weak dust devil. First battery started at 21.9°C (71.4°F) got to a max temperature of 40.2°C (104.4°F) and the second started at 28.9°C (84.0°F) and reached a max 48.7°C (119.7°C). In a few days, expected to have two...

Took the drone up for its first flight on the new firmware, all went ok (did notice some lag when turning but not too bad, just noticeable. Video also was a little lagged and had 100% signal) and at around the 10 minute mark got a "Gimbal motor overload (40003)" error, flying back it was...

If you don’t have Home and Contents (or similar) insurance that has the additional Drone coverage, go with DJI Care Refresh.

I would edit the DNG photographs in a photo editing program and save them as JPG. DJI Media Maker would be able to make the 360° pano.

Being Summer in Australia, I get 20 to 25 minutes of flight time (at 118m/399ft AGL, doing photo/video at 180m/590ft ASL). Won’t get to test cold weather flying for another 4 to 5 months. Though when I visited the Rocky Mountains in Colorado over 8 years ago, I got to see the impact cold...

It depends what you want to use it for and budget. My case, I could’ve went down the path of Mavic Pro 2 or Phantom Pro 4 (that was my maximum in budget) but as a first time drone pilot was going to get the Air 2 however went for the Mini 2, for size and cost (less pain if I crash/lose it) and...

Well I updated the firmware, all seem to go well other than this strange error after it completed. Haven’t flown yet due to the wind yesterday and today looks like it will rain.
