    Has it all been worth it?

    As a retired professional photographer, (turned competitive photographer), I contemplated getting a drone back in 2014 when I was a member of a local photo club. But they really weren't ready. Fast forward to 2021 I decided to get one to get a different perspective on my photography. I also...

    Does some one know of a site on the web were i can download the DJI GO FLY app for my mini 2 for a IPAD MINI 5

    Ditto, since day one, I have used the DJI Fly App with my two drones; ( Air 2 previous), Air 2s, and Mini2 current. Both the Drones and I -pad mini 5, have the most current updates.

    I am guilty of not reading the above post ,so I may have duplicated or contradicted some of the other comments.

    Drone Licence for the European Union

    Have a good time. I go to the UK and greater Europe a lot and to my knowledge you have done all the right things. Remember to use the same common sense and be aware of the "No Fly" zones, which usually includes the major landmarks and city centers. But using good common sense you can still get...

    does the mavic air 2 work without cell service

    I have had that issue if I haven't flown in a month or so. You won't need to log in for every flight. Just good practice to log in before you leave home or before you are out of cell range. It's also good to check the area you may be flying in using ALOFT to see the weather and possible...

    Drone Licence for the European Union

    Wow ! lots of information and I hope you realize that in the EU and most other countries you are better off with a sub 250g drone. The UK is the easiest and has the most freedom, however localities do have a variety of restrictions. In the EU you don't need to register a sub 250g if it doesn't...

    2S for photography and with Smart Controller in 2025?

    I use the air 2s commercially as well as for my personal Photography. The one-inch sensor 20mp is very good and if doing stills, I use Topaz Gigapixel 2x and have made very good 20 x 30 prints. I also shoot 4k30 but usually render at 1080. The only drone I would consider upgrading to is one...

    Batteries slightly swelling after flight...cause of concern?

    I had the swelling issue with my air 2s batteries and replaced them with Refurbished units from a Authorized DJI dealer . Over a year ago. The interesting part was I got a 2 year warrantee on the batteries . All is well so far. I have always charged my camera batteries to 100% for storage, and...

    Skywatch Refusing Coverage?

    Insurance isn't a issue in most of Europe/ EU or UK with a sub 250gram drone. However in most places you must register the drone. Not a big deal and not a high cost. Google drone flying in Norway. If Norway is in the EU you will need to register it but you can do it from there . Technically you...

    RECOMMENDATIONS

    I know you said android , but consider I pad mini 5 . They are reasonable now. I use the N1 with both my air 2 & Mini2 (separate N1's) From my experience it works well ,long battery life, holds a charge for over a week when not in use. I can see it well ,but I also made a hood for very bright...

    3rd party chargers causing battery swelling?

    Pardon me if I am redundant, I didn't read all of the post but I had the same issue with my 2S. AND IT WAS NOT CAUSED BY THE CHARGER. Although I wouldn't use an aftermarket charger. My swelling problem was caused by storing the batteries with a full charge Many devices recommend storing with a...

    Air 2s lense correction

    The wide-angle lenses used on most drones allows for coverage of vast areas, however, when used close to the subject they will always distort. This is a characteristic of the lens. As mentioned above some correction can be made in software. Also shooting at certain angles of view will minimize...

    Flying a Drone in France

    I am assuming you are registered to fly in the EU? Be aware the only drones you can fly without registration are ones without cameras. Even the sub 250 must be registered. I took my course and got authorization through the French site "Alpha-Tango". It's similar to the 107 but not quite as...
