    Tablet Holder

    I fly with an ipad 10.2" and use this cheap but very strong mount: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Tablet-Extended-Holder-Fixed-Photography-Drone-Accessories-for-DJI-Mavic-Air-2/114551633700?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&var=414734271383&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649 It's perfect and fits in the...

    New Guy Greetings...Questions!

    The MA2 is amazing. I've flown many different brands and models and this drone is just amazing. It is perfect when flying. Video is super stable and color is accurate. The only way you're going to crash one of these drones is if you make some sort of mistake while flying it.

    2 out of 10 flights I start up and video is black...

    I had this issue on my z8s for a few weeks after an update...then a few more updates came out and eventually the most recent one fixed the issue. I won't update that tablet again because I worry the issue will come back on a future update.

    android tablet for Mavic Air 2

    I too just got the Asus Z8s from amazon for $119 and it works great with the MA2. Another confirmation. The USC-C cable that comes with the Air 2 fits perfectly. The tablet experience for the Air 2 is so much better than the phone experience just due to the huge screen size. Way more fun to fly...

    MAVIC MINI 2 - UPDATE | Latest Leaked Photos and Spec Info

    Everyone fails to mention a HUGE advantage which is cheaper replacement or spare batteries. The Air 2 batteries are $115 and the current mini batteries are like $45. So with the new mini fly more, you do get 3, but if you want two more batteries it'll be less than the cost of one more Air 2...

    What's the most economical speed to fly In calm wind

    I agree with you...the default RTH speed is horribly inefficient. The drone is smart enough and should figure out the best speed to get back...but it doesn't do that. If you use the default RTH speed, you get home with less battery than if you speed it up.

    What's the most economical speed to fly In calm wind

    From my usage it seems like flying around 20mph get's you the most miles per battery. It's not hard to test actually. Just start flying at full speed at tripod mode (about 10mph) and look at how much battery time it calculates you have. Then switch it to 15mph but in normal and see it...

    Keeping track of batteries

    The downside to using your batteries in sequence and keeping all of them at right about the same number of charge cycles is that they'll most likely start to degrade at the same time. Say I'm going to see some degradation at 100 cycles...I'd rather one battery still be at 80 cycles by the time...

    Mavic Air 2 extended battery possibility

    Please report back here with your results and maybe even some links of what you exactly bought.

    Mavic Air 2 extended battery possibility

    I see your point, but if this were true, then you would not be able to make a drone that can fly more than 34 minutes, but I know some drones can reach 40 or 45 minutes, probably some more expensive ones can go longer. Now if could be that this is the max when you consider the motors on this...

    Mavic Air 2 extended battery possibility

    Right, but these are examples of people modifying the battery. I do not want to open my battery up. I'm hoping to use that adapter and join another battery in parallel if possible.

    Mavic Air 2 extended battery possibility

    I'm looking at this Startrc power out connector for the mavic air 2 and am wondering if this will actually work... https://www.amazon.com/Mavic-Battery-Out-Connector-Expansion-Accessories/dp/B08CK3G37F They're on ebay for even less. Problem is I can't find any reviews. What if I buy that...
