Yep, that's the plan. The mountain which I fly on has a ridge line about 200m above the property and the wind can appear from nowhere once above that altitude. So power over flight time I think is wise!

Thankyou. That clears that up.

Thanks again everyone. Looking for a good deal on an Air atm. Off topic but ... Can anyone enlighten me as to what the rth function will do off you start by flying down hill on a mavic? My flying is mostly in mountains and my last drone, a parrot had major problems with its rth for some...

That's all very useful information. Thanks to you all. I think the wind resistance may be the deciding factor all things considered. What's the point in carrying something that I can't use!? I'll check out those different props. I think I saw something about those online when I was...

Yeah, I've been slightly moving towards the air, simply due to the power. If it had more flight time that would have sealed the deal, but maybe the 15 to 20 minutes is enough, with extra batteries. Apparently they are very noisy drones though. Definitely aware of the bundle of kit I'll need to...
