    New Mavic Air Pilot Questions

    I would most agree with this member on both counts. Shoot in good light and the ND filters will allow you the 24FPS, 1/50th second cinema rate so trusted for about 100 years now..

    New DJI Flight Simulator

    I got everything downloaded to include the Mavic air remote and after a lot of trials it all works great! UNTIL: After running 7-10 minutes the computer shuts down and I have to re-boot. Upon re-booting it states that the computer shut down due to a thermal issue. I have a high end HP envy with...

    The battery will not charge!

    I had the exact thing happen to me. The batteries only have a 6 month warranty, but if you are within that time frame just call them. They will email you a return shipping label and replace it with a brand new battery. This was my case and I hope it is applicable as well to you.

    After a crash

    Maybe I am a simpleton, but what do you have to lose? Fly it close and low until you feel confident and go from there. It's either broke or it's not. Just my 2 cents

    CPL refers to a circular polarizing filter. It consists of 2 coated glass elements that when the outer element is rotated it polarizes to different degrees. This leaves me to wonder how what they call a ND-PL could function properly without a circular rotating element. As you already have no...

    Are you happy with Mavic Air FW .0500?

    I have had nothing but a great experience with the upgrade. 4 batteries Monday, 2 Tuesday and 3 today. I live in Alaska so I was taking advantage of the decent weather here! Everything went well, needed compass calibration the first time after upgrade, but none since. My favorite item is the...

    Battery converter

    Dude, I'm a young old man and I would have done the same thing. Plug it in and wonder where my lightning is at. Kinda funny, never had to turn on an Eveready!

    PolarPro or Skyreat ND filters

    I agree. Why worry about 30-40 dollars after you have well over a grand on your system. Also look at resale values and Polar Pro holds value while other knock offs don't even sell unless you give them away.
