    Do you charge your batteries back to 100% for storage?

    Ok. Noted. Never charge batteries to %100 before storage. Question: I've already done this a couple of times (3–4 or so). They were charged to 100, packed up for a week or two, then i saw only 3 glowing LEDs when i opened them up. I can't change the past, but… Do you guys think i've ruined them...

    Understanding the battery

    Thank you for this response! I kept taking the batteries out of the charger too soon thinking they were ready and couldn't figure out what was going wrong. Shoot! You're right. Right there in the Battery Charging Hub User Guide. Twice, actually! In the Introduction: "When used with the Mavic...

    Mavic Air Polar Pro filters

    Yes. I know which direction is counterclockwise. As for bent ring, i don't know. I started out gripping as loosely as possible, and with each attempt tried gripping harder and harder. I do appreciate your response and you trying to help but this doesn't make any sense whatsoever. The ring...

    Mavic Air Polar Pro filters

    Hey... First Drone (Mavic Air -Red)

    Hey there! I'm new too, so take this with a grain of salt, but my understanding is "Yes." Anything over .55lbs and under 55lbs gets registered for $5.00 over at FAADroneZone Though, you might have an extra headache ahead of you as a Canadian. Not sure how that will work. Good luck though!

    Hey there! From St. Louis, MO

    Just got a Mavic Air. Opened the box, charged everything up. Took it outside, got confused. Came back in to read some instructions, web sites, forums (like this one!). Few hours later, my pride in check… Got it off the ground, flew around my house, and shot some spectacularly mediocre footage...

    Charging Magic Air Controller

    So glad i found this forum! I thought the charging port was that USB connection at the bottom. I couldn't figure out why dji didn't include a straight USB to USB cable. Plus i was blown away by the realization i didn't already have one lying around. It's always USB to something else. This...
