Amazing. Out of curiousity how did you fly it at night? I know the general rule is that you can't fly in the dark. But let's say I was over private land and I wanted to just hover to try out long exposure night shot, will the Mavic air be able to actually fly and take off and hover in the dark...

It's definitely entering tripod mode because it says it's in tripod mode on the top bar and also has the button to stop the mode. I'll try and post the log data later. Also when I viewed flight in the DJI app it showed that it entered tripod mode. Maybe I'm expecting it to be slower than it is...

Indoors it isn't in GPS but outdoors the GPS strength is good. I've tried to watch some YouTube videos of Mavic airs hovering and I've noticed some do have a certain movement

But it doesn't seem to be slowing mines down at all. I've even tried cinematic mode which is also supposed to be slow but not slowing down. How do I look at the data?

When taking off and hovering, is the Mavic air supposed to stay still? Mine tends to move around a bit from time to time and even indoors. I would say probably max about 5-10cm of movement but then it corrects itself

When I select tripod mode and I push the sticks to the max, the drone is not slow at making that movement. It seems to be exactly the same as without tripod mode. I e got my exp and sensitivity adjusted so I can make slow movements if I go slow on the sticks but sometimes it's nice to be able to...

If I wanted to take a long exposure photo and the drone moves round a bit because of things like wind and other factors. So lets say it has movements in all angles, will the gimbal correct this to get a steady shot? How much movement can it hande?

I inspected the hub area under the props and haven't noticed anything broken or damaged. A pic below, does it look ok?

I tried it with the MAS props outside. I think it's mainly the pitch of the noise that I can notice has changed. But a concern is that I set the gain parameters as per the instructions and I took the Air off outside and let it hover at about 2meters height, it's a clear sunny day with very...

I just did a indoor hover test with the original props and then swapped out with the MAS props and changed gain to 85, 100, 95, 100 as per the MAS instructions but I cannot seem to notice a difference in sound. Wondering maybe because it's indoors in a confined space. I will try and outdoor test...

Is it the props at the bottom of the mavic as it sits in the case that is getting deformed? Because I did notice it is tighter to get into the mavic pouch but the main reason I saw was because of the foam padding at the bottom. I pressed the foam down hard with my finger to try and create a bit...

Isn't that going to be more of a risk of damaging the mechanism that clips the Propellers in properly? I'm concerned to do such a thing as I think it just introduces more risks

Thanks, I need replacement props. I have a set of the spare originals that came with the Mavic air but thinking to get these. What are the settings that they suggest?

https://www.masterairscrew.com/products/dji-mavic-air-stealth-upgrade-propellers-x4-black Has anyone had any experience with the following stealth propellers for the Mavic Air? In particular the second generation V2 versions? I've watched a few YouTube videos and it has rather good reviews on...

When using the 180degree rule and setting the shutter speed double the frame rate, does the drone stick movements and gimbal movement not need to be matched? For example if I have 1/50 shutter speed and turn the drone too fast, will that not be too blurry?
