    Which is a better VND, Freewell or PGYTECH?

    Hello. Just to say I got my PGYTech 2-5 stop VND for my Air 2S today as they were suddenly discounted on Amazon. IMHO they’re not great. Firstly I think the way they’re designed to be so thin snapping and locking them into the lens is very tricky and I nearly thought I was going to break the...

    Mini 3 out yet;??

    If you're in the UK Currys also have both the standard controller and new RC in stock. The standard controller bundle was also mispriced this morning so I bagged mine for £679 instead of the usual £709. Looks like they've fixed the pricing though but already with DPD for delivery tomorrow :) :)

    Master Airscrew has their Air 2S propellers available now

    I got mine yesterday. They appear quieter because of the slightly lower pitch but not quite as low as my Mavic 2 Pro. Still any improvement is good though. At 90m away it is barely audible over ambient noise. These do feel a bit thinner than the OEM set.

    Air 2s night safety for four-way obstacle avoidance detection

    I notice my Air 2S will drift around more when hovering at night as well but other than that I’ve never had any real issues. While I keep the avoidance systems on just in case I do put up with the warnings to keep them active. But when flying at night I look for an even more open space to land...

    Master Airscrew has their Air 2S propellers available now

    Mines just shipped ahead of schedule. Yay. I’m looking forward to a lower pitched, less irritating UAV ?

    Master Airscrew has their Air 2S propellers available now

    Just in case anyone is interested looks like Master Airscrew have put t up their Stealth properties for the Air 2S for shipping in a couple of days. This is normally the first upgrade I do to my drones so just FYI if anyone else is interested. PS - I’m not affiliated to them. I’ve just been...

    Air 2s controller needs firmware update every time I switch drones

    I found this too but between my new Air 2S and Mini 2. Haven’t tried the new style controller with my Mavic 2 Pro though since that’s linked to a Smart Controller. I thought it was a necessary thing to do when switching, I didn’t realise it was a bug!

    Air 2S USB-C battery charger

    Hello all I'm about to 'sidegrade' from a Mavic 2 Pro to an Air 2S. I've got a Mini 2 as well and one thing I really love about the Mini 2 is the ability to charge via USB-C. I spotted this battery adapter on Amazon UK for a Mavic Air 2 / DJI Air 2S battery to USB-C charger. Has anyone had...

    Mini 2 not showing up on Macbook 2020 with M1 chip running Big Sur

    The best cable to use is a Thunderbolt 3 40GBps capable active cable at under 0.5m in length. Unfortunately the Thunderbolt 3 / USB 3 standards are a mess and incorrect cables (especially with the M1 as I've found with my hub) can lead to connection errors. Note I used the above cable to...

    Mini 2 not showing up on Macbook 2020 with M1 chip running Big Sur

    Hello all. I'v got a brand new MacBook Air M1 as well and tried connecting my Mini 2 and it didn't show up in Disk Utility, the Photos app or Finder. I tried the same drone and cable with my older MacBook Pro Intel i7 and it worked a treat. As an experiment I tried using the same cable with my...
