I have had mine for years, and never regretted it. It has always been reliable. I thought about changing it for an Air 2S, but that is much bigger. The only two downsides to the Air are it’s short flight time, about 15 mins, and it’s noisy. The plus sides are that its is much more capable than...

Also..Always bare in mind that the wind is always substantially stronger at height, you might not feel much on the ground, but it could easily be much stronger at several hundred feet AGL.

The reason I have held on to my Mavic Air is because it does Litchi. There are plenty who talk up the Air 2 and the Mini, and sure, they are great drones, particular with the flight time that the both have…Oh how a Mavic Air would just love that….But, at the moment the Mavic Air is a better...

It doesn’t seem anywhere as good as the skidio for following a moving subject, but it is a dedicated follow me drone and the image quality is not as good as the air2s. I guess it depends on whether you want good shots of good following.

Yes…But… With the drone receiving signals from GPS, Glonas and Galileo, it is receiving signals from vastly greater constellation of available satellites.. It should give it a very high degree of position correction, in most locations.

I know the air 2 could shoot hyperlapse, but I haven’t seen anything that says the Air 2s shoots hyperlapse..So does it or not?

I’m in the same situation, I need a replacement battery for the Air, but can’t find any in the EU at the moment.

Squidincs video is interesting. I’d be interested to know if the vibration is only present at lower motor RPM / thrust, or does it continue after takeoff? If the vibration is only noticeable at low RPM, when the drone is still on the ground, but not when flying, it could be due to the hinge...

Apart from it’s shorter flight time, the Air is better in every way. One of the reasons for its shorter flight time is it has hugely more features and capabilities. The camera, both in video and photo has much more adjustability and the gamble is better. It is a much more stable platform and is...

What is a GCP? I haven’t heard the aero before.

OK, so after all this time, and with a good few people flying the MA2 in Europe, what is the real range you are getting in CE mode? In not interested in the hacked FCC mode, only the CE mode.

In most cases it is operator error. The drone is configured to land when the signal is lost, not to RTH. So, it lands, and if you are over water it sinks.

Agree. I’m very fo d of mine. Sure more range and a longer flight time would be nice, but it’s a very capable unit in such a small package. ? from me in Italy.

I have a Mavic Air 1. I like to use Litchi, however I have a question. There is an old church close to home. I have tried to film it, but it is just beyond the WiFi range of my Mavic Air. So, the question is..... As the waypoints are uploaded to the drone, am I right in thinking that I could...

I would suggest that those who aren’t fully familiar with the operation, function and controls of their drone, download the full operators manual and throughly familiarise themselves with it.
