    Mavic Air vs. Spark

    Air is a step up from the Spark. But the Pro and Pro 2 are a step up from that... you may want to jump to a Pro if you can afford it. I have an Air and a Pro 2 FWIW. A spark for the kids and then the pro for you is the way to go IMHO. :)

    First Purchase Remorse

    Enjoy! I've flown the Air in blizzards, high winds, high altitudes... it's an amazing drone. You'll love it.

    If you've never flown from Daniel's Park, that's a great place to fly. You fly from a drop-off, so you've got very little interference and can get ridiculous range. I'm in Centennial, Quebec and County Line area, MP2 and an Air.

    First Purchase Remorse

    I bought an Air... about 6 months later I bought the Mavic Pro 2. Because the Air was SO good, I had to get a step up. Honestly I don't fly it enough to justify it, but I like my toys. The air is SUPER great, but man, that double flight time on the Pro is amazing. You'll love the Air. If you...

    Mavic Pro v. Spark Which is Better for Travel?

    I have an Air and a MP2. I traveled to Seattle/Puget Sound for a week not long ago, right after I bought a Mavic Pro 2. The battery life made it a no brainer and I'm glad I brought the Pro. If you're not planning on flying and don't want to pack a drone, then throw in the air/spark. Also, I...

    Welcome, Frank! I'm in Centennial, around Quebec and County Line. If that's close, lets meet for coffee sometime! I have an Air and a Mavic Pro 2.

    DJI stop making Drones

    OP: my G6 didn't work with the mp2 pro either. I bought a Samsung S9 plus, and the screen visibility is unreal in daylight, well worth the upgrade. TMobile had a buy one get one that took some sting off. It does suck that the G6 didn't work, but I love it with the Samsung. Also of note, I...

    Mavic 2 Pro Phone Support- LG G6 not working, considering Samsung S9

    Over lunch, I went to TMobile and got an S9+ for me and my wife. When you add a line (which I did for my daughter) they had a $720 credit on 2 phones.... so there you go. Will now be a happy Mavic pilot, with the brightest screen!

    Mavic 2 Pro Phone Support- LG G6 not working, considering Samsung S9

    My LG G6 won't connect with my Mavic Pro 2. Considering upgrading to a Samsung S9 as I've heard the screens are super bright. Anyone had phone issues with the new bird? Anyone have thoughts on the Samsung, and luck with the Mavic Pro 2? (IPhone is against my religion, sorry, can't go IOS)

    Tablets?

    The only device I've successfully flown my Mavic 2 Pro with is my Kindle Fire HD10, as well as the Kindle Fire HD8. I haven't had luck with my LG phone (LG G6) by the way. I prefer to just use a long cable, sit on the ground, and fly with the tablet on my lap. Since the tablet is big it...

    Air versus Shiny New Pro2

    Hey Womble That's just a cheap hub I bought for like $5 on ebay. If the batteries charge from the main charger, I'd just buy a new charger hub from ebay... if you need a link to the one I bought let me know. It's simple electronics, I'd just throw it away and get a new one.

    Ok the new Mavic 2 Zoom and Mavic 2 Pro are great - but .....

    Cool @CanadaDrone. From what I read the Pro camera is amazing, the Zoom camera isn't great (but it's cheaper, and with zoom).
