Yes, totally agree with the 2 previous posts. I tried with the mini4 only to get the cpu overload consistently on 8 test flights on Similar flight paths, and different flight paths. I switched to the mini5 and had excellent results on every test flight.

I have been using my iPhone XS ever since I got my Air2s and never saw the message "Mobile device CPU fully loaded". I have a number of apps running on the phone. I wanted a larger viewing area so after researching iPad Mini options had settled on the iPad Mini 4, since it ft my budget also...

Thank you for sharing this. Outstanding! I'm new to post production and editing, so I greatly appreciate the various techniques used. I will be watching this many times over.

Thank you SPeterson for the info about battery firmware. I was unaware of the need to do an update with each of my batteries whilst in my A2S.

I never thought about using a tile or AirTag on my A2s. Where did you happen to apply it on the drone? I know they are pretty light, but did you notice any kind flight changes?

Wow this was beautiful. Yes, my appreciation for what Australia looks like has jumped by an order of magnitude, thanks for sharing! Regarding your post processing, on your opening shots, had you slowed down the speed of the clips, or had you flown that slow in Cine mode? i think I would have...

My thoughts exactly ! Nicely done.

Good info thanks. The "long evenly flown shots" are what I still need the most work on. Keeping a consistent speed is my challenge. I'm sure with more flight time under my belt I will get better. I need to better understand the relative speed relationship when I'm in Cine mode. Is there a factor...

Thank you for sharing, I enjoyed the video. I'm still relatively new at flying and composing video footage. So I was intrigued by the cinematic changes in the speed... i.e. zooming through a section and then slowing back down. I assume that was done via post processing? What NLE are you using...

t4nk, the 'memorial video' you posted was beautiful, and we greatly appreciate you sharing that with us. As a new pilot I was greatly inspired by your content and skillset. Unexpected things happen that we regret doing, however all we can do is reflect on the historical moments and memories...

Good reminder, I had forgotten about the snakes and scorpions. Superstitions, Sedona, and Flagstaff are some of my destinations. So I'm looking forward to getting some beautiful video / stills while here.

Thank you Gentlemen, excellent info. I too am using my iPhone. I haven't experienced any heating problems with that device, yet. However that's good to know, so I will do my best to shade the controller / phone while I'm out there. And thanks for the prompt replies as well.

So I'm spending some time in Phoenix Arizona right now. I've made a few early morning flights with my A2S around a few of the mountains on the outskirts of town. The temps were nice and cool, flights were good and visibility was great. However, the temps are going to be just into 100 F. I will...

Nicely Done! That sort of news is motivation for those of us still doing our studies.

I enjoyed reading the opening article from Ken Booth on this thread. Excellent info thank you, and I think it sets a good foundation for new-comers like my self as to the characteristics and performance of the batteries. Living in the Seattle area I’ve already experienced the changes in my...
