    My DJI Care Experience

    I wrecked my Air 2 into a tree and broke the starboard aft arm off at the motor. Rookie error on my part. I thought I might repair it myself. The arm sells for about $25, but it would have taken about 3 weeks to ship from China and then I would have to do some major disassembly/reassembly. I...

    Is DJI Care worth it?

    I am a new flyer and I bought the care package. Recently, I flew my Air2 into a tree, rookie mistake. It fell and broke an arm off. After seeing that a new arm costs about $25 (and 3 week wait to ship from China) and would require about an hour of work to replace (figured about $100+), I...

    Repairing a crashed Air 2

    I was panning sideways during what would have been a great hyperlapse and my A2 hit a tree and fell to the ground.

    This is my only nitpick too. Maybe if you had gained altitude and shot at a steeper angle down you could have cut the power lines out of the circle. Otherwise, very nice.

    Frustrating outing this weekend....

    You might try an app like UAV Forecast. It will give you some good information before you fly like how many sats are visible from your take off location and wind conditions.

    MA2 Questions

    1. Hopefully this will be addressed soon. You can tap on the battery level and it will open up a much easier to read box with battery cell voltages. However, it takes up a lot of real estate. 2. I run a 6+. By tapping the screen to the left of the your open screen will take you back to...

    Hand Catching Mavic Air 2 Motor Shutdown

    I find hand catch very convenient if I'm in an area of dusty dirt or higher grass and I have moved from my launch site. Using a left stick power down is very gentle.

    Now What !!!

    I am running a 6 plus and I'm not having any issues with my phone and my air2. I did have some issues with cpu overload but that was fixed by turning off caching.
