    My DJI Air 2S Review

    Hi, i was out of the loop on anything DJI related for a long while - even missed the fact there WAS a new product. :) Can you pls (or anybody else) to summarize points on the M2P/M2Z core diffs from that new Air 2S photo/video quality wise and other core topics of why it is still not quite...

    Please help turn off settings to land in back of a boat

    only way that actually works every time is to learn how to grab the drone in the air by hand, instead of proper landing. it takes some practice - watch youtube videos on it. when you grab it - make sure to grab it SOLID, like it is a tennis racket or a hammer, so it would not slip out. drone can...

    Do you use Tripod mode?

    no. but i altered settings for normal mode to tune it down to have much smoother yaw and overall movements, so it is a mid-way between what normal mode was and a tripod - that works fine. and for need of a faster movement there is a tuned up sport mode and the ATTI mode that uses default normal...

    Mavic Air 2 vs 2 Pro for photography

    very good comparison - look slike air2 is indeed almost at the same level with m2p, all looked quite nice up to ISO 400. DR is probably just a tad less than on M2P - but not really by that much, right?

    Repurchase Mavic Pro 2 or wait until Mavic Pro 3

    i also think it will be probably the next spring when we will see mavic 3. if you want something cheaper - get a mavic 2 zoom. you may enjoy having it if you already decided upon getting mavic 3 - i think it will not have a zoom.

    Where can I get Mavic 2 parts overnighted to me?

    realistically the most complete set of parts will be only on aliexpress. some ebay sellers may have it too, but, overnight is probably not an option.

    Initial Flight/First Impression

    it is good for what it is - an ultra-light travel flying selfie camera. do not ask it to do what it is not designed for - and you will have no regrets. you may also want to buy a set of replacement front arms from aliexpress if you brake yours - they are a bit flimsy. i used some drops of hot...

    Mini photo quality

    it is a picture from a gimbal/camera assembly that costs $125. it is actually quite amazingly good for that price. and compared to the $3000 nikon it is a total garbage. only relatively good sensor on mavic family of drones now is a 1" sensor on the mavic 2 pro - that is what you should use if...

    Mavic mini fly more kit batteries damaged in charger - is it possible?

    tried, no use. i had mini on the same charger since first day it was bought - it always worked fine, until this upgrade. i do not care now, as i trimmed the case and made enough space to keep that DJI charger in there.

    Mavic mini fly more kit batteries damaged in charger - is it possible?

    the point is - it refuses to charge now from ANY other charger at all without switching into that extra slow charging cycle. i think they must have added something to sense if DJI charger is connected. i forgot when the previous battery code was updated - it probably was not in the .400 code -...

    Mavic mini fly more kit batteries damaged in charger - is it possible?

    jesus f christ. i found what that is. and it is definitely a firmware induced thing. so, i was using all this time, since the beginning - a power adapter from samsung phone. it had 5v and 9v levels and was ALWAYS doing fast charge cycle fine. i found now an another power brick - from DJI smart...

    Mavic mini fly more kit batteries damaged in charger - is it possible?

    does anybody know the pinout of those **** batteries? i stored them in that charger forever. i definitely blame .500 firmware - it was the only factor that changed. i keep them now for an hour - see very slow blinking like a delayed charge cycle blink - nothing chnages, i do not think they are...

    Mavic mini fly more kit batteries damaged in charger - is it possible?

    hi, i do suspect all 3 of my batteries went dead. quite frustrating and unclear what it is. i left them sitting in the charger - the fly more, on 3 batteries. it was in there for a while, always kept them there, since new. charged them. uncharged them - so, they sat there may be for a month...
