    iPad mini flying

    Is there a focus mode option for the Mavic air 2?

    If you are asking as to whether the MA2 has autofocus adjustments, then no...it is a fixed focus lens

    Taking a chance on a hard case

    The Nanuk 915 specifically cut for the Mavic Air 2 is super nice

    Adapter - Apple iPad Mini 5 for my Mavic Air?

    I've tried several but my tastes run minimalistic so I use this one all the time Its great and easy to carry and takes up hardly any space in my case.

    Is all this battery charge level stuff just OCD hobbyists?

    LiPo longevity depends on keeping them stored in a cool dry place at approximately 30 to 70% charged. They do not like being stored nearly depleted or at full charge, hence the battery firmware will discharge them after sitting charged for a few days. At 115.00 a pop, I recommend you follow the...

    Best video file settings in Da Vinci Resolve for You Tube or web for M2P footage.

    You can set the Resolve Render settings to crunch down your videos too...Handbrake (free version is fine) just has presets for various phone and tablet screen resolutions. Either way you can get what you want. In the end, upload the best quality video resolution you can to YouTube, cuz they...

    Best video file settings in Da Vinci Resolve for You Tube or web for M2P footage.

    If you are talking about uploading to YouTube, I believe you can upload files way larger than 1.28GB. It would take a while, but you can. Upload videos at the highest resolution you have available so the quality stays high after YT does their compression. If you are just talking about sharing...

    Best video file settings in Da Vinci Resolve for You Tube or web for M2P footage.

    I know that in the version I have 16 Studio, there is a YouTube preset on the Render page. That will get you in the ballpark. Also, remember that YouTube will compress your uploaded videos using their own codecs. However, I believe that if you upload your videos in 4K, they will use the VP9...

    Program preferences for video editing

    Are you saying that you edit your videos on the ipad mini as well??? Or just use it to fly? If you are using a computer to edit then the storage on the ipad isnt really so relevant because your files get saved to the drones SD card. I tried to go back and see what drone you are referring to but...

    Program preferences for video editing

    It just dawned on me that perhaps the free edition of Resolve doesnt offer hardware GPU encoding, so in that case , rendering would be much slower...I am not sure however, if it would be on the order of 24 hours. Can someone else give us some render times in Resolve16 free edition???

    Program preferences for video editing

    My last comment about this, just as an FYI...I just did an experiment and rendered 2 videos...both using H.265...and here are the render times: 33 minute video 4k24fps rendered in 10 minutes 58 seconds 36 minute video 4k60fps renderd in 14 minutes 17 seconds My PC specs are similar to yours...

    Program preferences for video editing

    Resolve does titles and transitions and a whole lot more as well...seems like it might be a time saver to get your workflow down to one program

    First Flight MA2... short distance.

    You're welcome...its a good idea to quickly go thru the settings as a pre-flight checklist, especially after an app update or firmware update. I have also found that its relatively easy for a finger to accidentally drag a slider or click a setting as you are perusing the options. Happy flying!
