Any new photos s from the air 2 s. I want to buy one and would like to see some still shots if anyone has any. Thank you

Hello from the Crossroads of America Jcowleytx

I don't have the 2s so no photos to share.

You might try looking in the photos / video sections of this site.


Good luck and welcome to the Forum. :cool:
 
Welcome to Mavic Pilots! :) Enjoy the forum!Thumbswayup
 
I don't know what can lean by a photo of unknown details and which may or may not be full resolution. Here is a link to one of my videos with my Air 2s, 4K 30fp. ND8 filter, auto exposure, manual flying.
There are others on my YouTube channel mainly for information for our residents. There are also earlier videos with my Spark and later cycling with Canon camera (60 fps). Of course YouTube does it's own compression of sorts. All were uploaded at 100%, no compression.
 
Welcome to the forum.
I hope you will find our site helpful and look forward to any input , photo's/video's you might post .
Don't be shy and ask anything if you can't find it by searching . Thumbswayup

In your part of the country Texas, there are a couple of Legal Things you may need to do when you get your drone…

If you have not already done so, you will need to get your TRUST Certificate. You can get that at the Pilot Institute Web Site (FREE…) . If the Drone weighs less than 250-grams (0.55 pounds) and you are flying under The Exception for Recreational Flyers, you are not required to register your Drone.

I registered my Mini 2 because the TRUST Certificate and FAA Registration established me as a "certified" Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) Flyer.

Since you live in Texas, there are specific laws and rules for you to follow, please check to ensure these are current.


Your interest in the Air 2Ss photo capability is noteworthy, but you must remember that a photographer knows what goes into making a good photograph. I can take photos of the Moon at Half Dome, Yosemite National Park, all day and night long and not one will ever be as dramatic as Ansel Adams' photo. Besides looking at the photos taken by the various members; remember, many of them are professional photographers who know how to set up the photo, how to adjust the camera, and how to process it (dare I say "photoshop" it…).

Even if you have flown Drones before, here is some Good Old Fashion Advice…

Do not let the excitement of the moment get the best of you. When you are going out to fly, do it slowly and deliberately. Get used to a set procedure and even practice it.

There are so many things I could write but these are the highlights that I feel need mentioning.

Plug in your phone/tablet into your controller; turn on the Controller and DJI Fly App (if it does not start on its own…). On the Drone, open the front legs, then open the back legs, then remove the Gimbal Cover.

The Gimbal is the most delicate item on the Drone and banging or bumping can damage it. I also fastened a short "Remove Before Flight" ribbon to the cover so it's more noticeable and I do not forget to remove it…

Turn on the drone and watch it come to "life." Watching the Gimbal go through its self-check is almost like watching a kitten or puppy opening its eyes for the first time…

Place the drone down (preferably on a Landing Pad) while it finishes its self-test (collecting satellites, etc…).

Check your battery status (Phone, Drone, and Controller), check the Signal Strength, by now the Controller should have reported it updated the Home Point.

Lift off, 4-5 feet (1-1/2 meters) or so, hover a bit, check the controls (move the drone a bit forward, back, left, right, yaw left and right). By now, your Controller will probably report again, Home point Updated.

If you go out in a rush and race thru your start up and take off before the drone has finished it prep, it may update its Home Point over that pond or that old tree you are flying over and in your excitement, you'll fly the drone long past it Low Battery point and when it engages Return to Home and lands in the pond or in a tree; it will be all on you…

Now go have fun, learn to fly the drone by sight before you try to fly it out a distance depending on the video feed, FPV.

I would also advise you to use YouTube and watch a lot of the Videos on flying and setting up the Drone. When it is too dark, too cold, or too wet, you can "fly it vicariously" through YouTube. Also watch some of the Blooper Drone Videos and learn how not to fly your "New Baby."

If you do get the Air 2S, below is the link to all of the downloads offered by DJI for the Mavic Air 2s, including the User Manual.

After you read the Manual, read it again, you will be surprised what you missed the first time and you will be better prepared for that first "scary moment…"


Happy, Safe and Legal Droning…
