    How do you charge your Mavic Air 2 batteries? (poll)

    Yx actually have a newer version of their charger, it have a screen for volt/amp monitoring, a switch to stop charging at 60% and detachable cables (actually compatible with cables from Yx Air 1 powerbank that I have) Also there is an interesting charger that takes 1 or 2 usb-c cables to...

    Charging out in the field.

    There are also a dedicated powerbanks for charging dji batteries available on amazon and aliexpress. I used to have original Air and bought such power bank for it. Now I switched to Air2 and just changed the charging connectors. See here for the link Battery charges on the go

    No Recording of battery temp?

    There is a bug in dji go 4 for Android where it doesn't store the temp data correctly in the logs. If I'm not mistaken it started around a year ago, before that everything was fine. Nothing you can do about it apart from using an older version of dji go 4, switching to litchi or moving to iPhone

    MA1 vs MA2 bag size

    So I finally got the MA2 and can answer my own question. To me the new bag feels substantially larger, it no longer gives me the feel "take it with me and forget it's there". It's a pity, but I guess I'll have to learn how to live with this, because otherwise MA2 is wonderful and solves the 3...

    Questions regarding drone-on-a-boat

    There is 100m limit ftom the homepoint when using active track, but this limitation only applies when you run your drone using the smartphone wifi connection (directly, without remote controller). So active track is somewhat useless in this mode unless you want to press the button on the screen...

    Questions regarding drone-on-a-boat

    When I'm flying from the boat on a river I use another strategy. I fly to the nearest river bank, reset the homepoint there and then just continue flying wherever I want. This way you don't need to worry about canceling rth to avoid drowning. Because there can be different situations - remote...

    Battery charges on the go

    For my mountain trip I bought this power-bank thingy from AliExpress. It charges the battery around 4-5 times and costs less than one additional battery, so I decided it's a good compromise https://a.aliexpress.com/_d7Wc2o2 It was also briefly discussed here...

    MA1 vs MA2 bag size

    I have a MA1 fly more combo and really enjoy the compact size of the bag. It even passed as my GF purse when checking in on one of the low cost airlines with strict carry-on rules :) Does anyone have a comparison photo of the old and new bag? I'm worried it might be noticeably bigger

    Mavic Air 2 Controller

    One of the reviews mentioned new controller has 2x2600mAh 18650 batteries vs 1x2970mAh in the Air 1 controller. I wonder why the increased capacity

    2 Pro Vs. Air 2

    Except Air 1 video was recognized as "better" vs the Mavic 1 due to higher bitrate or better optics or whatever it was.

    Mavic Air battery mod

    I think only original battery has the electronics that gives you time estimate. If you have bad original battery it's possible to open it and swap cells to 18650 keeping the original circuit board. Check out this video, it's in Russian, but it's pretty self-explanatory
