Thanks everyone, great info So I will shoot 4k or possibly 2.7k at 25fps for the most part as I know delivery will be in 1080. But just want maximum image quality, and a bit of cropping space is useful. I forgot to mentions I will be using NDs too. My card is a U3 a2 128gb card so should be...

Hi, I've recently bought a Mini 2 after owning the Mavic Mini 1 for a year or so I've had a job moved forwards, leaving me no time to experiment, so any answered questions here would be great! - Video settings...4k, 2.7k or 1080? If you shoot lower resolutions does it still use the full 4k...

Thanks I'll check that back out. I think I prefer having a 'normal' bag over a dedicated photgraphy back, as I pack different things most of the time and it makes more sense!

Hey Thanks for all the advice. It does sound a bit dodgy the wifi signal, its making my decision much harder. Like you I need the portability and lightweight form, but at the cost of losing signal, Im not sure. I also dont feel like buying a Mavic Pro when a Pro 2 is on the horizon. Hmm, DJI...

Thanks thats a very useful reply. That is concerning. It's strange, as some people have had experiences similar to yours, yet many seem to be fine with it. It's a really hard decision to make, as I'm desperately trying to save space and weight. I've had my rucksack checked on Air Asia...

Thanks, yeah I'm always sceptical about 3rd party batteries, Ive never had ones for cameras or laptops which last as long as the official ones. I hope if I get a drone, it doesnt mysteriously dissapear!

Thanks for the tips. Would you say stick with official batteries, or you think there are some worthy third party ones? I'm always wary with batteries, especially when flight time is so limited anyway. Yes I dont think DJI care will cover me on my travels, I'll have to look into it. There may be...

Thanks. Yeah normally once I get to a destination I stay put for some time, but its more the practicalities of getting equipment there! I do think possibly the Air will be a good first drone, and if it just doesnt cut it after a while, then the Mavic Pro 2 will be out I imagine. The noise is my...

Thanks, that looks like a decent size and weight you have there in that bag. Does it not come with a custom bag to fit it all? Or is that only with teh fly more combo? But still, with carry on luggage size and weight restrictions, trying to take laptopl, audio interface, sound recorders...

OK thanks, thats good to know. As I will be away in foreign countries, mostly Asia, I wonder if my warranty or if I got DJI care would cover me whilst away. Thats one other thing about the Air, it seems with the new design it is less prone to damage with small accidents or knocks. I havent...

Thanks, yeah the signal did worry me, but I cant find anything conclusive about it as its all so dependant on conditions. I've read many people saying they had no problems at all, and many saying it was a nightmare with the Air. Did you not consider the Platinum? Where did you find a Fly...

Thanks. I read that it wasnt just the propellors, but he motors were different too on the PP. Yes you are right, I should just buy what I need. Unfortunately I'm still struggling like many others to know if thats the Air or the Pro!! I imagine when the Pro 2 comes out it will have enough...

Thanks Lake Flyer People seem to say the MPP is a big improvement on noise over the the standard MP. It does seems like just the pitch of the Mavic Pros is much more bearable than the higher pitched MA. I just dont really know how to travel with all my gear! I'm always fully loaded with just...

Thanks everyone, great advice Firstly on price...in the UK it seems the Air is about £700, the Mavic Pro is about £800, and the Pro Platinum is about £1100. So not much difference between the Air and Pro, but a big jump to the platinum. I dont think I can stretch to £1100. I travel a lot...

Thanks for the advice everyone. The problem is the features I want are kind of 50/50 between the drones! I think I'm going to go to a big city and see if I can hear them in person so I have some idea of how much noisier the Mavic Air is as thats my main concern
