I still fly my MA1 weekly and take on all my trips! The downsides of the MA1 are well known but in a vast number of times I'm very happy with the results, especially when shooting in 4K. Shortly I plan to upgrade to the MA 2S as new batteries are difficult to locate for the MA1 and the wear on...

My son and I had a blast making this video! Majority was shot with the DJI Osmo, a few frames from the Air as well. The trike is also a lot of fun for grown men!

Video of our families 7 day trip of a lifetime in Northern Minnesota! Shot on Mavic Air 1 & Osmo.

A number of months ago I switched from PC to a iMAC and very happy with the iMAC, but the learning curve was steep. I edit 4K drone videos and very happy with 16gb RAM and always recommend more when working with 4K footage. This is one opinion and I'm sure many will recommend PC over MAC.....

Agree, the price is high. I purchased only because I'm afraid it's getting harder to find a new MA1 battery.

A few are available on Amazon. They are new, I was nervous and recently purchased 1. After receiving the 1 and being confident it was an official DJI product, I order another 2. I hope this helps.

Thanks for the kind words!

Shot with the Osmo Pocket! Our family has really enjoyed everything the Osmo Pocket does.

Mithrandir, I had the same exact situation happen to me including the time it took to go down to critically low battery on Sunday. My batteries have a little less use then yours and I keep them in top condition. Currently, my research has found that a battery firmware was missed being updated...

Fun to watch! Nice Job.

Our family enjoys finding these very remote and rural sites! Shot with the Mavic Air and Osmo. A lot of history, including the very haunting & shocking murders of 4 teenagers at this location in 1973.

I agree with this comment. In my experience in clear or dirty water my comfort is always 15-20 above the water. Better to be safe!

Nicely done! Takes me away from the snow we have coming down here in South Dakota!

Great points all-around! I'm in your same position and eyeing the MA2. However, the MA has been amazing for me with zero issues. Potentially in a year or two I'll upgrade but likely give the MA to my son.
