    New Air 2s and IPad Air 4 not working together???

    The iPad Air 4 works just fine with the Air 2s and Fly app. This has nothing to do with the iPad Mini 4 which came out in 2015... Before anything else I'd check the USB-C cable you're using. This is the one I use for my Air 2S and Air 4 combo: https://amzn.to/3J76vv8

    Looking to meet up and fly

    Hey there. I live down in the mid-hudson area, but work up in Albany. There are a lot of great places to fly between here and there. Recently I walked out onto the frozen Hudson up in Athens and flew from there. I frequently fly around Highland/Poughkeepsie. Let me know if you're...

    dlog or hlg: Which is the 10bit video format?

    The Air 2 has D-Cinelike, which while it is a flatter profile is not a LOG profile.

    Question about lack of variable aperture on Air 2S

    So I'm a photographer that also happens to use drones for my business. While all the basic rules still apply to drone cameras, in practice variable apertures are used different on drones than on DSLR or mirrorless cameras. Firstly, yes there is some effect on the overall sharpness based on...

    Anyone used/tried these, thoughts?

    I have this set. I like the top one and use it when putting the MA2 into my Nanuk case. The bottom one is a bit of a pain to get on sometimes, and in the hard case its kind of useless. I do have the DJI MA2 sleeve, which I use occasionally if I want to tuck my drone into my camera bag and go...

    4K Zoom, more than just digital zoom? [UPDATE]

    No mistake, just confirming the rumor for you. I wish they had made note of it somewhere instead of letting people just stumble on it.

    4K Zoom, more than just digital zoom? [UPDATE]

    Yep, I mentioned that at the bottom of my last post. Hold the Fn key and you can use the gimbal dial to smoothly zoom in and out. Tried it today, works much better than dragging the zoom icon on the screen.

    4K Zoom, more than just digital zoom? [UPDATE]

    I did a little more testing today in a more controlled environment. I was curious to see how the different 4K zoom modes compared to the 12 and 48MP still images. I set up my drone on a table pointing at a printed lens test sheet under a video light. The drone was 44" away from the test...

    4K Zoom, more than just digital zoom? [UPDATE]

    So like the rest of us, when I saw the firmware update this morning and read about the zoom feature, I was interested. I was curious to know if DJI had simply implemented a digital zoom, merely cropping in on the existing 4k recording, or if they were making use of the extra resolution...

    Firehouse has a new Arc V coming out in a couple weeks that looks quite nice, I'm waiting for that to launch for my MA2

    DJI FLY app - radar symbol meaning

    That shows the relative direction to your drone (and orientation of the drone) from your controller. Your mobile device on your controller needs to have adequate GPS signal, and also the internal compass of the device needs to have its bearings as well. Often times you'll see it turn red...

    Mavic Air 2 Viewing Device

    I have an iPad 7th Gen (10.2") LTE model which if I'm honest is a little too big for this purpose. If I hadn't gotten such a great deal on it ($99 from Verizon because I bought an iPhone 11 Pro Max) I would probably have gone with an iPad Mini 5 instead. That said, I probably use my iPhone 70%...

    Hudson Valley/Dutchess County Groups?

    Hi Rich, I live out in Kerhonkson, but fly frequently near Highland, New Paltz, and down in Newburgh as well. I've found a few good spots.

    Grief over cost of Drones

    Never realized how "cheap" my other hobbies were until I got into photography. $2500 body here, $3000 lens there.. oops need a wide angle too, another $2000. Studio lights? Sure why not. Hmm, maybe play with video, need continuous lights, and lav mics also. Hmm, need a studio to do all this...

    I thought i knew everything about drones, they say no theres no dumb question.

    Yes. Though I can't confirm it for sure (I saw somewhere where someone opened one, but I can't find the link any longer). Even so, the shape and size are indicitive of patch antennas as well as how directional it is in practice.
