I only fly in random international countries. I noticed an improvement in my calibration luck when I changed my technique. I am curious if anyone else who is having troubles would see an improvement. In the previous calibration video, the drone is held in front of the body and it is spun 360...

I'm new as well ... But its my understanding that 2.4 gives you more range. I have completely lost connection at a distance of a little more than 100m. I would try as many different locations as you can. If you have problems at 100m at them all, then maybe you have a faulty device, or there is...

Welcome @InvisibleName! Yes, as you have probably read earlier in this thread, the Wifi connection of the Air is less reliable than the Occusync connection used by the Mavic Pro. You are encountering interference on the Wifi channel that disrupts the signal. You will find some locations are...

I bought the air as my first drone. I am a full time traveler so it seemed like a no brainer. I wish I bought the pro because of the unreliable WiFi signal. When its fine its fine. When it's bad its quite nerve wracking. Some people say "my Air connection is solid". I am willing to wager these...

Yes, this is what happens in phones as well. They can work for a while, but the contaminants/minerals/etc wind up causing damage.

I wonder how little wind there would have to be to use an ND1000 and a multiple second exposure. Seems lime there would have to be almost none. It is pretty much always windy wherever I find myself. At the below waterfall I used an ND32. I was good at 1/15 but 1/6 was blurry.

Welcome. Yes, the Air will tell you when it needs calibrating. For me it happens whenever I fly more than 10-20(?) miles away from my last location. You are an experienced pilot, but definitely take care to set your RTH altitude for each flight. If you travel a lot as I do, you may experience...

You have had no problem at those distances, however there are other users that do have disconnection issues due to the WiFi connection. I had a disconnect 2 days ago at 300ft. Sometimes i can go over 2000ft. It's totally location dependent, and I'm finding in developing nations the WiFi space...

Back to the topic of travel kit size, I am at the airport. Here is a photo of my carry on stuff. I checked my Osprey Porter main bag. My Lowepro camera bag has mirror less camera stuff in the bottom, laptop, electronics, personal items in the top. I am using the Air Fly More Combo case as my...

Thanks for wasting our time as well.

Did you read the thread? You have not made any comments other than this one. Rather than waste energy by spreading negativity by making a judgemental and unhelpful comment, why don't you enlighten the OP with the obvious choice?

Yeah I'm a photo guy. Fuji just released a new body with in body image stabilization for video, but I'm not sure how it compares. In the past Fuji was lagging behind in the video arena. For my main bag I am using the Osprey Porter 46. I LOVE this bag! Been using for 4 years its tough. The...

I've read the previous threads in synchronization, and they are not helping me. I don't really look at my flight records too much. I just check in once in a while, look at my stats, hit the sync button, then leave. I changed phones 3 weeks ago. I didn't specifically go look at the app to see if...

I just flew off the beach, in a small village in NW Bali. I was 2200 ft, straight out in the ocean, still had signal. Didn't push it any farther as NY battery was low from taking a bunch of photos on the way out. On the return, I was 500ft away, but off to the side maybe 300ft. Lost...

I just went out and flew off the beach. Was 2200ft away, and didn't lose signal, because I was straight out over the sea. Coming back in, I was 500ft away, but off to the side by ~300ft, and I lost signal. Had to return via automatic RTH. Connection reestablished, and I was able to land...
