    Flying in Fog: Beware!

    agreed...OP was being responsible flying below the fog low but not low enough to disturb the wildlife cool footage thanks for sharing

    Flying in Fog: Beware!

    he got lucky because he's flying blind and without VLoS i'm not saint but tbh it's fairly wreckless because there's no way of landmarking

    Now that I have actually used the air a little more... I am extremely disappointed.

    my other wifi bird recommended i point the antennas diagonally down and out like an upside down rabbit ear and to keep the remote pointed at the bird, will that not also be optimal?

    Mavic Air or wait for Mavic Pro 2....

    being able to fly backwards with an aid is rather valuable for the pro group..so that rear sensor is pretty darn important MP can't handle ~20kph headwind in standard GPS mode, hitting RTH did nothing, I had to nurse it back in sport mode at full throttle and boy was that not fun. I won't...

    Why such high battery consumption on my MA when just turned on?

    lol @ high performance it's not a 36-threaded HEDT system, love it when quadcopter enthusiasts over exaggerate. you're correct there's a fair bit to process in real time, but it's still a mobile chip in the end, The Mavic Pro had only a gig of RAM

    Question on rear vent, HDR

    maiden flight with the MA, after owning 3DR Solo and Mavic Pro, and very briefly had the Mavic Pro Plat first impression, wow the noise it make is rather annoying compared to the MP. I do like that I no longer have to worry about focusing! my first question relates to a loc8r homing tag, I've...

    Sony sensor?

    pretty sure that's not the issue with hardware, more of a DJI software thing

    Sony sensor?

    someone mentioned it's the same sensor as the Mavic Pro but did not provide a source it's probably a derivative to what's in the Sony X3000 which also does 4K 100Mbps

    Mavic Pro features vs. Mavic Air?

    does anyone actually find 60Mbps significantly limiting? it's sucha tiny sensor anyways..

    Sony sensor?

    one thing I like about the Mavic is the exmor sensor which I mean easier work flow for as everything I own is sensored by Sony....plus they have some of the industry's best low-light perf. does anyone know if this is the case in the MA like the MP?

    Mavic Air only supports 32 GB SD Card?

    likely a non-issue, id be surprised if it can't support 64/128

    Importance of Flight Time?

    as someone who came from the 15min battery life to 25ish....the 25 almost even feels too long! never hurts to have more because sometimes you can even squeeze in 2 short flights off one battery. IMO if you only intend to get a few shots, 20 minute should be fine. I never intended not to buy...

    Mavic Pro Platinum Leaked!

    sounds pretty reasonable for a $1000 quad would I like to see better DR? of course sharpness is fine 60mbps for 4k isn't ideal but no worse than GoPro quality i'm glad they aren't doing a Mavic 2 this year...mine gets to be relevant for at least another 12 months so my wallet is happy

    Mavic Pro Platinum Leaked!

    sorry, how is the current MP camera a weakness? some water colour some have been getting? I can't think of anything in the foreseeable future to upgrade the mavic...aside from maybe more OA sensors are the back and side.

    Mavic flight through the trees

    as long as you're not flying through the fog, you're good. I didn't see anything in the video that suggests you're a reckless flyer. Maybe it was just youtube but the bitrate seemed extra bad though...very pixelated.
