    Black Forest Summertime

    We've spend our summer vacation on a farm in the beautiful Black Forest in Germany with plenty of time to test drive my Mavic Air 2. No trees were harmed during filming :D

    Mavic air 2 filters (ND, VND)

    I am waiting for my PolarPro Cinema Serie VND set to be deliverd, it contains a 2-5 and 6-9 filter which should cover all your needs, probably won't even need the filters which came with the fly more combo. Given my previous experience on the MA1 with PolarPro I don't expect any troubles.

    CE regulations

    The swiss government will also adapt the new EASA rules and after some email exchanges they confirmed that the Mavic Air 2 and any other drone lacking a CE classification will fall under the legacy rule. Which sucks big time, this means you cannot fly on an empty football field if there are...

    DJI fly app

    No these options were available in the Go4 app. I am not comparing the Apps but the MA1 to MA2 and the capabilities I as a pilot had with the corresponding app. Coming from the MA1 with Go4 I am used to have these options and I am disappointed that DJI forces me to use the limited DJI Fly App...

    DJI fly app

    Did you ever fly the MA1 with GO4? - Gimbal speed - Gimbal smoothness - EXPO settings - Sensitivity settings - Gain settings - Battery Warning adjustment - Fn Button functionality - Cinema Flying Mode - Picture settings: saturation/contrast/sharpness All these settings are present in the MA1...

    Is DJI Care worth it?

    Yes as it let's me take riskier shots without worrying - well at least for a year that is :D

    DJI fly app

    I was actually thinking about starting a petition on change.org to beg DJI to give us back control but that plattform seems to be more human-rights oriented and I don't think that having a better app for a drone counts as that lol. But maybe we can start a petition in the forum and send this to...

    Always shooting in 60fps for 30fps timeline

    or try to do the shot differently so you don't need to have varying exposure. You can pan upwards from the dark portion, cut into another scene for 1-2 seconds and continue into the light part of the scene while having the right exposure for every scene. It will always look bad when the exposure...

    DJI fly app

    And as I just realized, there are no EXP(O) or sensitivity settings and Cinema flying mode is also lacking. Man this is frustrating!

    Mavic Air 2 - Is it really THAT bad?

    No issues with the drone itself and switching from Mavic Air 1 to 2 I am really enjoying the freedom OcuSync provides me. The MA2 is in every way superior to the MA1 except for the app, Fly App really sucks in comparison to GO4. And personally I don't like the gimbal cover too much, I always...

    DJI fly app

    DJI Fly and I won't become friends it seems. Is there seriously no option to adjust gimbal speed for the wheel on the remote or to enable "smooth stop", you know so rotation will automatically slow down when it reaches the endpoint, as we had in GO4? This bothers me the most right now, I can...

    DJI fly app

    Sorry I must've been blind - don't tell me that the other settings are buried somewhere too?

    DJI fly app

    I don't like this dumbed-down version and the lack of control/information it provides in constrat to the Go4. Setting battery warning limit for starters but there are also no settings for saturation/contrast/sharpness. Panorama mode is also lacking and the options for the fN button on the...

    DJI fly battery status

    Yes I also hate that they've removed this. As far as I understand, the idea is that the app/drone calculates automatically when you have reached the critical point to return and gives out a warning, depending on how far away the drone is from you and how much battery it thinks it will need to...
