    My computer is ancient ..... video resolution question.

    Why do you shoot in 4K when you output in 2.7K or 1080P? Better shoot in the resolution you want from the beginning, because it takes a lot of processing from the computer to change resolution.

    Mini 3 Skinnet Beach, Tongue Bay, Sutherland, North Coast 500, Scotland

    Nice footage, The first part is out of focus as mentioned before because the drone focusses on the grass when you started. It's not clear to me why the Mini 3 Pro autofocus doesn't work. Only after 1,5 minutes or so the image suddenly pops into focus. I have the reverse happening with my Mini 3...

    Storing the batteries in the Hub or Drone? Maybe not

    Every time you press the button on the battery to check the charge level, the daycounter resets and starts over again. This means that the battery will take ages to discharge when you check the charge level every day.

    Mavic flies into side wall of bridge, uncontrollable whilst 20m away in direct vision. DJI takes no responsibility

    My first drone (DJI Air) also had strange behaviour. Flying in open area without any obstacles, GPS signal could vary from 15 satellites to 6 and back to 15. This happened random. The drone was very unreliable to fly this way and I almost lost it when suddenly the GPS signal dropped to 0...

    How hot do the motors on your Mavic Air 1 get?

    I have replaced the original props with Master Airscrew ones and the motors on my Air don’t get hot.

    Can't fly farther than .5 miles

    True, I'm using bigger antennas. With that I can reach that distance easily.

    New Firmware for Air 2

    Not necessary at all. Never done this. Only when the Go4 app tells me to calibrate. This is mostly the case when there is a change in magnetic field on the take off location.

    Keeping MA1

    I've seen YouTube videos where the range of the Air2 is really disappointing. Also the fact that you can't use the Go Fly app and that it's not possible to adjust some sensitivity settings.. I've upgraded my Air by installing bigger antennas and it's now possible to fly at least 3 km near urban...

    Quiet replacement blades for Mavic Air

    You can still hear the Mavic Air very good, even with the MAS propellers. But I don't find that a problem. It's helping me determining the position of the drone. The Mavic Air is a great drone. I'm not tempted at all to replace it with the Air 2.

    DJI.... ANOTHER STEP BACKWARDS?

    Indeed, that's something you don't hear on those YouTube "test" videos of the Air2. Also the range of the Air2 is disappointing to say the least.

    Quiet replacement blades for Mavic Air

    But it's still noisy. It's not that much of a difference.. I would call it a "little swarm of bees" sound instead of "flock of birds"
