I keep my blades on.

I store mine with the gimbal down - and it works perfectly well with the gimbal cover mod too (there isn't a budge out of it in the facing down orientation). I haven't had a single issue with the drone yet and I've had it out for a good number of flights.. walking with the bag, backpack...

I'm not sure of the current firmware version, I'd have to check, except that it's up to date as of today's date (installed about 3 days ago).

There's just the one capture per position during the pano (it's not AEB), however the exposure was not blown out in resulting JPG file where the were exposure warnings on-screen... making me think that it's handling the 'HDR' aspect of the Pano automatically and the pano is nicely balanced and...

I generated Panoramas, in 180 and wide-angle, all 4 of them produced RAW DNG files, I have 21 x .DNG files each (for the 180 degree panos) at ~23.5MB in size, wide angle produced 9 DNG files, at 4000x3000 pixels in size when viewed in Photoshop. The interesting thing however is the metadata of...

I leave some of the original protective stickers on my drones for resell value. I recently sold my Mavic Air with two of the original protective stickers (where the blades would otherwise abrade the top-shell part), and they are still in great condition. The Mavic Air 2 now has two original...

I would prefer to buy a more suitability engineered gimbal cover than use the provided one in it's original state.. In the meantime, what I might do is actually use some of the foam that came in the original packaging (as there's plenty of it) and cut it down to a finely supportive piece which...

It's fair to say that there's a tiny amount of movement, as opposed to zero zero movement.. However, if the drone is stored camera downward, it's absolutely rigid and doesn't move no matter how I shake it. I live in a very remote location and bumpy crappy roads are standard. It was something...

You're welcome! Let me know how you get on, curious to see the results

Great stuff, I'm curious to see how you find it. Hopefully it helps you out! I'm finding it much easier to place the cover back on the drone, especially when I'm out on the ground. Previously I felt like I was about to break the gimbal, no matter how careful I was.

This brief demonstration video shows how the DJI Mavic Air 2 Gimbal Protector cover applies excessive forces to the rear of the camera gimbal when being placed on the drone. When you are out in various situations whilst using the drone, you may encounter unintended forces being applied to the...

Mine is on the way now, it shipped last night, from SHENZHEN (bought direct from DJI)

What I'm trying to figure out also is will the panoramic feature produce the same RAW results as the current Mavic Air does. Those RAW images are essential in producing a better quality pano in post production, but I haven't seen anything to suggest that they are created by the Mavic Air 2.

Can anyone confirm if the Mavic Air 2 produces individual RAW files as a result of generating the 180 panos? The original Mavic Air produces RAW and JPG files for the Pano modes which you can retrieve from the SD card, so likewise, I'm keen to ensure that the Air 2 continues this feature. I...
