It's a lot like cell phones I suppose, but at least with a cell phone, I use it all day, every day. :) I remember having similar thoughts as you when I was flying the GoPro Karma. I liked it... it suited my needs. To this day there are still aspects of the KARMA that I like better than DJI...

Yes, I did take the Table Mountain Video. I used my old drone (Gopro Karma). I'm thinking about Table mountain on either Friday or Saturday with family this week... but we may go to Feather Falls near Oroville Lake instead. If you have never been there... it is a long hike, but the falls are...

What benefit would DJI Care offer, if this issue is covered under warranty?

Update... so I recalibrated the IMU. Sensors were all clear. Didn’t bother recalibrating the sticks as they appeared normal. I went to a different place to fly today. Had zero issues. The drone flew fine, in and out of various flight modes, etc. I have no idea why it was acting so crazy the...

I almost felt like I was going to have a “Fly Away” today... looking for help or suggestions. So... I went out to fly my drone at “Seven Magic Mountains” near Vegas. It is off the highway on a dirt road, middle of the desert... no flight restrictions, 17 Sats connected, I check the map...

If you can get a "personal article" policy from State Farm or Geico, it costs $65-70 per year with ZERO deductible, meaning you don't pay any cash out of pocket if you have to use it. It also covers many scenarios DJI referesh does not cover...including unrecoverable water landings, flyaways...

These drones can be crazy hard to see. It could be sitting in a tree right in front of you and you still couldn’t see it, even knowing where to look. Good luck op!

I’ve read some early reviews indicating possible connection issues. Could it be the new controller design? One reviewer claimed that they had line of sight, but a low brick wall was partially between the controller and the drone causing a complete loss of connection. They also noticed...

Yeah...like I said, "there is a limited use case for this"... I personally find it useful for active track, but If I was taking a selfie or using other quickshot modes, I would much rather just use my remote.

There are quite a few things to like about the MA2. That said... Here are some features/differences that folks might prefer on the Air. Here are a few I've noticed right off the top: Size and Weight of the drone: The original Air is slightly smaller and weighs slightly less. The more extra...

Ditto for me. Just for reference the M2Pro weights roughly 2lbs. the Air 2 weighs 1.25lbs, the Air weighs .95lbs, The Mini weights .56lbs. Then you have the weight of all the extra batteries. This is me on a short day hike...just my Mavic Air...and a few extra camera accessories:

Yeah...I can how that would be a factor. I haven't had a problem with the Air when it comes to distance flying...but If I were in your shoes...that would certainly move the needle towards upgrading.

If you have the Zoom..no real reason to "upgrade" for an incremental improvement that might be seen more as a "side-grade" than actual upgrade. Just my opinion...you might have different reasons for yours. If you don't already have a drone, and you want to save $550... The Air 2 might be very...

Thanks! I've looked up groups closer to where I live and they mostly seem geared towards racing quads. I'll check it out.
