    Air 2 The tallest building in Austin, TX (865 ft.) 4k and ~3 mins

    Those crane drivers must have nerves of steel. But I wouldn’t want to work in the building. Nice filming with the Air 2. I have the same drone. It’s a brilliant piece of gear. 👍😎🇳🇿

    Mavic Air 2 controller bricked after update?

    I find the iphone 11 Pro to be a very versatile platform from which to fly an Air 2. A slightly larger more recent iphone model would give a bigger screen and I have also read that the ipad mini 4 is a very good stable system for DJI Mavic series drones. Personally, now, I would not spend any...

    Updating older Mavic Air

    Contact DJI Support via their website. They should have a definitive answer.

    Mavic Air 2 controller bricked after update?

    I completed an Air 2 update in New Zealand yesterday, using the DJI Fly app on my iphone 11 Pro. No problems at all. Flew today. But there are new display features that I now need to familiarise with. Always the way! 👍😎🇳🇿

    Going way too far with Mavic Air 2 - CE Range Test (Mallorca, Spain)

    The last time I flew in a plane it went quite a long way from an airport ……… 😳

    Normal Air 2 compatible with DJI RC?

    I’ve been using my iphone 11 Pro in a Lifeproof Rugged case with a third party (straight in) connecting cable since I bought my Air 2 about 3 years ago. No problems, very clear screen and it gives me all of my smartphone options. I’ve never needed anything else, at extra cost. 👍😎🇳🇿

    Vacationing on Maui and forgot my Air2s charger!!!

    I just ran a search on the DJI website for stores in Hawaii that stock DJI products and there are quite a few listed. I suggest that you phone around; numbers are posted. I fly an Air 2 in New Zealand and have the Fly More Combo charger plus a DJI car charger (for emergencies). The 12v addition...

    DaVinci Resolve 18 - Jumpy video in 4k 29fps - what am I doing wrong?

    I have a Mavic Air 2 and the often underused Quickshots has a setting that can be used to achieve something similar. The druid site footage is excellent and conjures up images of the temple rites from ancient times. Great drone control and editing. Thanks for posting.👍😎🇳🇿

    Air 2 Shanghai China by Night - skyline cinematic footage 4K

    Stunning clarity and colours in the night video. What settings (and post?) were used? I own an Air 2, also, and have problems with low light definition. This is the best that I have seen. And great flying angles! 👍😎🇳🇿🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

    Mid air restart

    And buy some cheap spare parts ……. 😉

    Decreased performance

    Considering that these DJI drones are specifically designed as lightweight camera mounts, I would not be subjecting them to any prolonged heavy additional weights. As soon as the lift loading increases, the gravitational reactive forces have to go somewhere and the only place for that to happen...

    Air 2 May I please request 2 minutes, and 9 seconds of your forum time?

    A nice relaxing film to watch at the end of my day. Worked for me; good job. 👍😎🇳🇿 (I fly an Air 2, also.)

    Mavic air 2 zoom not working

    The digital zoom only works in certain video modes. I use it mostly on my Air 2 when set to 1080p, to obtain close up imagery when completing roof inspection flights. It enables great clarity, whilst keeping my drone clear of antennae, chimneys, gables, vent pipes etc. But I have also used it to...

    DaVinci Resolve 18 - Jumpy video in 4k 29fps - what am I doing wrong?

    What a great forum this is!!!! 👍😎 Excellent outcome - thanks to all involved. I have daV 17, not yet upgraded to 18, so the feedback here is very good to read. 🇳🇿 (Just watched the video. Great footage and variety of shots. The editing has come up really well in daV 18. Only thing missing was...
