    DJI Mavic Air - FLY AWAY!

    Getting a '3/4' tracking shot / horizontal tilting?

    Hello I have just bought a Mavic Air, I have flown it a bit, and see it can tilt up and down, but is it possible to tilt just the camera horizontally, to get a 3/4 shot? At the moment, when I turn it, the whole unit turns, changing the flight path to match the turn, I want the same flight path...

    Losing 'Jedi' Control

    So, just thinking before I go out and try this. If I try the 'Gesture Mode' and can't control the Mavic Air, how can I gain control? Can I just grab the controller and gain control? I have also seen people doing the 'JEDI' trick without the controller. What do you do then? Thanks in advance.

    Mavic Air/Pro for georeferenced aerial images?

    Hi folks, I'm looking to invest in a drone to undertake aerial surveying and I'd love to hear any advice you might have. I'm thinking along the lines of pre-programming the drone to fly to a set GPS points at set elevations above the ground, and taking still images at each point, then...

    Inability to decide between Air and Pro Platinum

    Greetings pilots, I'd like your opinions regarding to the possible purchase of either models above, as the usage will be specific. I kinda did my homework about Spark, then Air; (I opted for Spark then decided to go with Air because of the requirements). I live in Switzerland, so 'the' drone...

    Where to Buy New DJI Mavic Air ?

    I've read many horror customer service stories buying a DJI drone from DJI directly & I am a little overwhelmed by so many Amazon people selling. So... I am wondering where you buy from or would buy from in the future & why you would? Thank you. I am pretty sure I am steering towards the Mavic...

    Red green function

    Hello! I have a problem with my Mavic Air. After flying it for a while battery went low so I decided to land it and download the pics to my phone. Meanwhile the battery died and after a while each rotor started to rotate individually for a bit, but fast enough to make the drone jump around. I...

    Well, I have a problem. Nokia 6 + Android 8.0 + Mavic Air. Despite running Floater (Fake GPS), clearing the cache (Floater), setting the default GPS in the programmer options on Floater, Dji Go 4 can not see the fake location. Important! The dot of my location indicates the current, right...

    Mavic Air - New Video Feed Issues

    Odd issue here...I've had solid video feed on my Mavic Air for about 2 weeks now even since I've been choosing my custom WiFi channels instead of using Auto. Using an iPad Mini 4 for my monitor and the ONLY thing the Mini is used for is flying the Air so it's bare bones. I went to fly yesterday...

    Is Gimbal Cover Neccessary?

    Got my Air today, however in the excitement of opening it at work I think I've misplaced the gimbal cover already (doh!). If it sits in it's protective pouch all the time and I'm generally careful, is the gimbal cover really required?

    Hello, everyone. New drone user here and the Air is my first. Just curious as I get more experienced...how do you have your custom buttons on the controller configured?

    Mavic Air and Goggles

    I received the Mavic Air and DJI (White) Goggles today. After getting the RC and the aircraft paired, I updated all the firmware across the board, and took the Air outside. I was able to take off and land a few times, but stopped because it was going to be raining soon. So I took the party...

    Do the Mavic Air propellers make you mad? Swap Tested

    I find the Mavic air props to be a nuisance. Every time you fold it up, they seem to be exactly in the way and getting bent. I found an interesting solution from it's little brother... We were at the MeetUp group (flying Drones for Fun) meet at Treasure Island last Saturday and I had some...
