    Is this a tough fix for Mavic air 2?

    So looks like I’ll just throw it on fb marketplace. Maybe I’ll buy a refurb mini pro3or 4

    Is this a tough fix for Mavic air 2?

    I'm tinkering on DJIs site now and looks like it won't allow me to get the DJI Care Refresh service. Says is not supporting Mavic 2 air. So Im assuming then all. can do is request repair or just sell for parts.

    The latter a selling point? I don’t follow

    Is this a tough fix for Mavic air 2?

    Thank you. So now I am much more likely to sell given your thoughts. I'm debating sending to DJI but I'd rather offload magic air 2 completely and get a refurb mini 3 pro. I guess it wouldn't hurt to just send to DJI....

    Is this a tough fix for Mavic air 2?

    Debating selling this vs fixing. Is this a simple fix? Camera works. It flies. But gimbal broken. Please see photos. I could either fix and sell or sell for parts. But I’m going to sell regardless. How tough a fix is this?

    I'm my own worst enemy and wrecked it again.

    Late reply back, thank you all. I'm probably gonna throw it on eBay. I've been wanting the smaller 249g drone anyway and I don't see an upside to keeping the heavier larger magic air 2. But that said, someone mentioned the RC. big improvement over the smart controller? Im gonna look now.

    I'm my own worst enemy and wrecked it again.

    So I have the Mavic Air 2, have wrecked it twice and just did it again. Each time, I've sent in in for repair to the good guys in NJ but I've blown over $500 on 2 repair so far. Im debating just selling this one off for parts (where would I do this?) along with its 3batteries. But I'd keep...

    Should I/ can I trade in Mavic Air 2 for mini pro 3?

    It’s def a Mavic Air 2 and I dot. Have any problems with it other than it needs to be FAA regulated. while Im thinking about it, does the smart controller work w mini still?

    Should I/ can I trade in Mavic Air 2 for mini pro 3?

    Seems like from what I read, I would get all the benefits of the Mav air 2 but smaller and no need to register w FAA. that said, I see that the DJI trade up program is suspended. Are there any other places you’d recommend to trade in?

    You never think it will happen to you....up in a tree

    My buddy was the one who suggested I give it a go. :)We were laughing about it. So my tree guy went up in a bucket truck. It went up to a 60 foot max and he still had to climb a few branches. Both drones were $70 feet up. I did manage to get one drone to tangle with the other. But the...

    You never think it will happen to you....up in a tree

    so here‘s an update. Borrowed my buddy's MavPro attached a LONG line to it, and a bright neon softball at the end. The fishing line was 40 long and I had to come OVER the tree canopy to drop the ball low and use it as a cannon ball. Using my smart controller, I was able to cannonball MY...

    You never think it will happen to you....up in a tree

    So as I type, my Mavic 2 Air is up in a tree. I borrowed my friends Mavic 2 Pro, tied a softball to It and trying to dislodge my drone but couldn't. Its a good 2-3 stories up. 40% chance of rain tomorrow night. May call the FD to see if they are bored. Or I may just go on Craigslist...

    Long Islander loving it and soaking it all in

    Pretty sure it’s class D. Next time I fly I’ll double check. In Huntington too just north of northern state and it’s JUST outside the airspace but when in Babylon, the smart controller makes me acknowledge FRG is nearby.
