    Getting it out of your system ! Fly higher

    I am restricted to 120 meters also, but no problem to go higher (500 m) to take pictures or make movie. It's fun, but use your warning lights and watch out for air traffic

    Mavic Air 2 falling from the sky

    From 89.6 to 94.8 F in 1-2 seconds is not normal, I think. The graph is clear. It ended at 94.8 Fahrenheit. Or do I miss something?

    Mavic Air 2 falling from the sky

    After all the good advices (thanks again!) I think the main problem was with the battery. I show the graph of the flight same day in the morning, and the second one of the catastrophe. To be noticed is the sudden rise of the battery temperature. When I left home, the battery was well connected...

    Mavic Air 2 falling from the sky

    All three bateries have the same age and were in good condition I load all three a few hours before a flight. Discharge or charge after each flight to 50%. The "wider" battery is imo a result from falling on its back. The same for the crack on top is his battery.

    Thought that the file was readable instead of a picture. Just posted a link more below this thread. Sorry for the inconvenience! And most of all: thanks for all your support.

    Mavic Air 2 falling from the sky

    I replied to several comments (thanks!), but I don't see my answers anymore. So in short: no birds, no rain, nothing special. Just a sudden loss of connection. I went back to the place and altogether I "recovered) three and a half prop. So I assume the drone came down upside down with the props...

    Mavic Air 2 falling from the sky

    I had flown that morning without any problems. In the evening I went out for another flight. Started and took off as usual. But within a minute my image on the phone turned black and white and I noticed a complete loss of contact with the drone. Tried to make connection or to find it in the air...

    Mavic air battery charger

    I see. I had another model from Hanatora with a knob to discharge, but that model cost a little more...

    Mavic air battery charger

    You are right. This great charger (I used it myself before I switched to the MA2) shows the level in volts. Never mind, One of the best functions is the discharge possibility. That way the batteries, full or empty doesn't matter, will go to 50% for perfect storage for a longer time.

    Flying in hot conditions

    Don't worry. I live in a tropical island (south of Haiti) and weather is most of the time 30-31 degrees Celsius. Not problem at all. Just handle your batteries with care as mentioned in replies before.

    Does everyone recalibrate.............

    Only when requested. With my Mavic Air I had to do this regularly, with my MA2 hardly any more. The Mavic Air 21 is soooo good and stable in every aspect.

    Best way to stitch a panoramic from RAW files.

    I prefer Lightroom. Much faster and in most cases better results than Photoshop.
