    Air obstacle detection: Behaviour with glass

    The Mavic Air has obstacle detection at the front, rear and bottom and also stops in front of an barrier. This works even with partially transparent obstacles such as a fence. I've already seen an YT video where it was tested. But what about glass? So e.g. a closed glass door or a window? Does...

    Cleaning your drone

    How do you clean your drones? I have always maintained and have done the pre-flight checklists and the occasional cloth wipe down on my drones but I've never cleaned them. For example, on one of my drones I have applied a few stickers and I'm considering selling it because it gets less flight...

    Strange initial issues with new Mavic Air -possibly rectified but ... comments please

    I have had a Mavic Air for several months but it has not been configured or activated until today. Also have a Mavic 2 Pro so am reasonably familiar with setup procedures although a relatively novice flyer. I hopefully am fairly IT literate having taught IT/Computing for many years! I had...

    Mavic Air 4k footage - trees/grass looks pixelated

    Hey Guys, {updated on Mon 16th with some details!} Wanted to get your help and thoughts on part of one of my projects (work in progress!) where the footage of grass / trees looks pixelated in places. This is the case when I view the raw video file (mp4) taken off the SD card and played on my...

    Poll-What kind of range are you REALLY getting with your Air?

    I've lost contact several times at about 3000 feet. In test on private land I lost it at 1000' or less with trees in between.

    DGI GO 4 app: New release worth upgrading to ?

    Hey Guys (sorry if this has been posted already) Anyone update to the latest DGI-GO-4 app ? Looks like it's just a dual remote controller update. Is there anywhere that shows a list of app release with their release notes ? (i.e. so we know if it's "worth" upgrading to). I bought my drone in...

    4k video snapshot v actual photo

    Hey Guys, Using my Mavic Air - I recently shot some footage of a castle (4k - 24fps or 3fps). I also took a load of photos too (with the recommended settings from online posts, i.e shoot in raw, use AEB, etc). When I loaded the photos into Lightroom and did some editing (I'm a beginner-ish at...

    Mavic Air arm snapped

    My drone crashed today and the right rear arm broke. I can’t find anywhere that labels what this part is called. Has 4 screws and seems to be a bracket that holds the arm. I can snap it back in and it holds fine. Because of this I’m wondering if JB welding it back into place could work? When I...

    Mavic Air Remote Controller Will Not Stop Constant Beeping

    My MA remote controller will NOT stop beeping. This is a new problem. I have ensured the firmware is the current for the MA and the Remote! This is something I always do prior to flying. The Remote will link to the MA and give every indication things are good to go! Yes, I know I live in a...

    Best way to increase visibility?

    Recently got a mavic air and have been learning about it overall. One thing I've noticed is keeping track of it, particularly when there's a background beyond the sky is tricky for me. What are my best options to give the drone more visibility? I was considering the LED prop guards but wasn't...

    How can I get my speed ramps to be this cool ?

    Hey Guys, I've a Mavic Air and I use Da Vinci Resolve (v15) for my editing. I love adding speed ramps. Had a quick one for you. The below video I was looking at recently. So 0:32s into the video it does a speed ramp but the speed ramp looks so much cooler than the ones I'm doing. I do my ramps...
