    Frequent Compass Calibration?

    I’m visiting in Chicago and I’ve had to frequently calibrate the compass in order to fly - maybe 6 times at least over three days. And half of those times the calibration attempt failed repeatedly. I updated software and thought that helped but about the third time powering on after the update...

    Wrong Date/Time?

    I traveled yesterday into a different time zone (CDT to EDT) and when I transferred photos from the Air 3 to my phone this morning, images shot earlier this morning were 13 hours behind. I was able to edit the date and time in the apple photos app but it made me wonder what the proper settings...

    Best Camera: Mavic Classic 3 or Air 3?

    My top priority is image quality for still photography. I’m torn between the MC3 and Air3. I understand that the Air3 has two cameras vs the 1 for the MC3. I understand the MC3 has variable aperture which appeals to me because I can stop down a bit to get to the lens sweet spot. Is there...
