Thank you so much I will look and post what I find!

Unfortunately no, I did not think of that until after I sent it back. DJI still has it and was just informed they are mailing it back to me this week, fixed I hope.

Purchased Mavic Air six months ago for dive trip to the Maldives last week. Practiced flying and hand landings for boat flights, got pretty good at it. Took off from boat, one quick lap around the boat and the video link went out, fortunately I had a good visual on the drone. The drone started...

Another tactic that works, at least if the person will engage with you at some level of conversation, is to show them what you can and more importantly can’t see when flying. Then offer to take some footage and shots for them which many people think is really nice to have. I was flying in my...

Great thanks for the info.

There are two kinds of luggage, carry-on and lost...

Not sure what it is. I could fly one day and when I’m done there are several videos in the Go4 app editor section and the. On another day there is only one video. There does not seem to be an rhyme or reason as to what gets into Go4 editor.

Have been flying about a month with Mavic Air and finally brave enough to do some flights over water to capture images of La Jolla Cove in San Diego. First real attempt at photography beyond practicing in my yard. I did a few Dronie auto flights and also flights while pressing video button. It...

Thank you so much for the info! Looking to do something similar in the US northeast as the leaves are beginning to turn. The colors you captured were amazing.

I just purchased the Air Fly More package and added one battery and its great for travel, the drone 4 batteries and charger all fit in the small case which easily packs in my carry on bag. There is always buyers remorse when the next gen product comes out. As a photographer, I love my Sony a7iii...

Great pictures Dale! I applied to the Maldives for a permit. Let’s see what happens, will keep you posted. We are going to be at sea most of the time and nowhere near people so I think I’ll take the “Just Do It” advice. I was introduced to drone flying by a National Geographic photographer...

Great advice guys, I’m so glad I asked. Just followed the links you provided and started the application process. I’m sure I’ll be back with more questions as I learn more about this amazing device.

Yes good advice with the batteries, I travel with cameras so all batteries go in carry on bag.

Hi All, new to drone flying and this forum. Getting a little better every flight with a Mavic Air. I am traveling from the US to the Maldives in February for a scuba trip, will be on a boat for 10 days. Would like to fly off the boat for some air shots of the small islands, the boat, and...
