I have used a mini 1 controller with my PC. It works really well. The setup to get it to recognize the RC was not hard, but also not “plug-and-play.” I needed to follow the tips found on this forum 2 or three years ago. It took maybe 5 minutes. Once on, choose the Mavic air as the drone you’ll...

Would love to see the video!

Some nice scenes here. A couple of friendly suggestions here. Practice smoother gimbal movements, then combine with yaw adjustments. The other suggestion is to set your exposure to manual. That way the footage won’t keep changing lightness and darkness due to more or less sky showing. This looks...

Just got the Air 2S and love it. I also purchased prop guards. With the guards on, I began some test flights to become familiar with obstacle avoidance. The setting was to avoid the obstacle, not hover. Each time I approached the obstacle, it hovered in place a safe distance away, but would not...

Nice video, but I am a bit concerned that the horizon tilts down on the right side consistently. Could it be that something in your drone is keeping it from level flying or perhaps it is related to gimbal calibration? Greetings from a neighbor in CH!!?

Absolutely gorgeous work! As a photographer, I must also say you have some incredibly impressive views that would make wonderful stills. I am using my drone more for its photographic potential than for videography, so when I saw your video, it knocked me over! You are a real artist!! Wow and a...

This is the clearest, most wonderfully helpful video I have seen on such a recovery. As a Mini pilot, I am always worried about losing it, even when being as conservative as possible in choosing flying conditions. Believing the best mantra is not "IF" a drone is lost, but "WHEN", I have put this...

Fall is always very late coming to central North Carolina, and colors are traditionally more muted than in higher elevations. Nevertheless, it is always a pleasure to experience the changes beginning. This is my first attempt with my Mini to view some of these changes from above. The shapes and...

A delightful video! AND(!) so nice to hear the sound track you chose. It was a refreshing change from the usual tracks we choose to accompany our videos. Just one thought on your video that you might consider: when there’s nothing in the sky of visual importance, sometimes it enhances the...

I strongly recommend your using Vimeo. It is excellent and is a site dedicated to presenting videos at the highest quality. It is easily shared with others. Good editing software is always essential. Mediocre software never leads to excellent video. I highly recommend Premiere Pro, if you are...

Absolutely stunning work!! Your sense of visual drama matches the horrific reality you reveal. Great choice of music for this, too!! What site are you using for royalty free music? Bravo!!!

What I mean is it may be best to fly with the constant warning, using DJI Fly, than switching to Litchi and having less real control of the Mini. If I switch to Litchi for the purpose of not having that warning, am I losing important safety issues that are part of DJI Fly?

There are still some questions flying around about Litchi's usability with the Mavic Mini. I am thinking I might give up more than I am actually risking by sticking with the DJY Fly app and living with the continual warning about performance being affected... Hmmmm.

Using an old iPad Air from 2013, I get the "Mobile Device CPU fully loaded. Related performance will be affected." I'm flying with this warning, but am wondering about what "performance will be affected...." There is an occasional flicker in video signal to my iPad, but my MM seems to be...
