I think I've seen your video before. The Air2s definitely tracks better than the Litchi app. I heard that the Maven app should have better tracking, maybe I should give that a go. Agree, DJI drones so far are not really good for following fast moving objects so tripod mode and establishing...

Quick tip. Uploading to Youtube in 1080p will compress the video worse/more than 4K videos. A Youtube tip that is pretty widely known is to edit in 1080p and render it to a 4K file before uploading to Youtube. It will of course not be a proper 4K video, but it will look much nicer on Youtube due...

There is definitely a nerd factor when it comes to editing. I quickly moved through two basic video editors before I settled for the free version of Davinci Resolve which is enough for most people, but then I also became a video editing nerd. If there is an interest, the learning curve is not...

Just make it simple and get the cheapest Macbook Air M1, it will outperform any windows laptop twice the price when it comes to video editing and it does so without even getting lukewarm. I am a lifelong pc/windows user and I am in the same situation as you. Can't wait to get my hands on a...

Looks pretty cool! I wonder how the motors will survive the wet, but at least it's better than to lose the drone completely.

Don't take off near the motor, the helm or anywhere near where there can be strong magnetic/electric fields. I learned that the hard way - the drone went haywire after a few seconds when it presumably left the magnetic field... Edit. This was a Mavic Mini and here is a video of when it...

Thanks! That's a really good point!! Maybe it is possible to set up a loop in Litchi and let the drone lap it for about 20 minutes. Then I could go as fast as I want around the set track and still catch a few seconds or more on each lap. After that I could just stich everything together when...

Hi! I have seen some half baked attempts, but the problem is that as soon as you are going fast and change directions rapidly even the non-mini drones will fail. Rapid descends also seem to be a problem for the DJI drones, so filming downhill MTB, as far as I can see, is out of the question. A...

I am a keen mountain biker and primarly use my orignial Mavic Mini for MTB reviews on Youtube. The problem that I have is that I cannot film myself since active track on ANY DJI drone is useless when trying to film yourself when riding fast in terrain. I am not talking about pointless and silly...

Hi! Yes I think I had more than 12 satellites connected before taking off.

Thanks! All well in the end after all and lesson learnt. The video is on the 2nd page. Take care!

Wow! Another scary thing with the MM. Not as safe to fly as I thought when I bought it... Did you have any incidents following the glitch? I was thinking the 'yawing behaviour' might have led to something more serious?

Hi! It didn't travel too far. After getting off the boat I found it after only 5 minutes. But it was in the middle of some thick thorn bushes so it took a while to actually reach it. :p I change the propellers today and tested it on a soccer field. It worked like a charm which was a relief...

Ok, thank you for your input. I will try to fly on a nearby soccer field for a few times to see what happens. But I will never try to fly from a boat again with this drone, way too risky! I realize that I was very lucky that I could land the drone in a 'safe' way. It is only now that I also...

Don't get me wrong. I really appreciate that you guys are trying to figure out what caused the fly away! I thought I knew what the problem was, but you helped me realize it was more complicated than what I assumed. But how do I relate to this and move on? There is a DJI forum too. Should I post...
