    Mavic air 1 big mah battery mod

    I went to the link in the video, and it opened in Google chrome, which offered to translate. You’re right - it does work, though I have a hard time following the discussion. Slawaw, can you answer my question in my previous post about the device unsupported message using the DJI batterkiller...

    Unfortunately, for me, it's in Ukrainian.

    Mavic air 1 big mah battery mod

    The “device unsupported” message might be explained by not getting the battery talking to the CP2112, BUT I get the same error when the CP2112 is plugged into a USB port on my Win11 Pro laptop, with ==NOTHING== CONNECTED TO THE CP2112 BOARD!! Clearly this has nothing to do with the battery...

    Mavic air 1 big mah battery mod

    So much for free exchange of ideas…☹️ I’d be genuinely curious on what basis was that direction given. I’ve been on this board since the original Mavic Air came out, and it has worked very well for me; I’ve learned a lot, and I’ve shared my knowledge with many others. {Removed by Moderator]

    Moment filters — any experience?

    I bought a Moment CPL filter from Amazon for my Mavic Air. Unfortunately, I can’t opine on the filter, because I haven’t been able to open the case!! How did you open the case? I suppose I could use a couple of pair of pliers, but I’d rather not scratch up the case.

    Had my first major crash today :(, I have a few questions

    Something else to consider...usually the best repair would be to replace the whole arm, BUT sometimes gluing the arm together (SuperGlue) may be a better choice, if you're not comfortable with a soldering iron. Whatever you choose to do, spend some time at YouTube - TONS of stuff about using...

    Firehouse ARC V Strobe Review

    I think you'll be happy with the V. I currently have 3 of the ARC2s, and a white V(got it when they came out). I had issues with a couple of the ARC2s, and FH was great about getting a free replacement out to me. The V has not had any problems. In addition to the extra LED, it is in a case that...

    Google doesn't like the new rules

    While I agree about government getting (taking) more and more power, I can't agree with the ability to track drones being a violation of the first amendment. With that thought process, should a manned aircraft not be tracked, if it happens to be carrying a reporter? What about tracking of...

    Sell or Keep MA1?

    I've had my Mavic Air since they came out - March 2018, so it's been almost 3 yrs. I have the FMC and a fair number of accessories that are MA1 specific. I know its capabilities and limitations, and it still satisfies my needs, so I don't really have a reason to upgrade. However, if I were to...

    Restricted zone low altitude flying

    I get your point, and agree. I got my PPL back in the 70s, so I appreciate good flight planning, including contingencies. In the case you cited, you could make it a part of pre-launch checklist to verify that RTH is set to stay within the max allowed altitude for the area in which you're going...

    Close Call On The Beach

    Night VFR is allowed in the US, but that's NOT the case in all other parts of the world.

    This can’t be good

    This article is pure speculation, as there is no proof that a drone was even involved. Experienced aviators, in the cockpit, often have a hard time determining how close they came to something, or what that something really was. Until there is an official report filed by the USAF pilots, this...

    No Fly Zones Jails nearby

    The drone will not fly around the NFZ??? Is this true for all DJI quadcopters? What would it do at the boundary of the NFZ? Would it just hover until battery level forced a landing? Wouldn't it even try to go around?
