First flight

nothing wrong with using the internal memory

Not at all. I just didn't realize the card was so slow until I tried to play it back at home.
I was going to go out again today but it's raining.
Next weekend though!

Nope sure isn't... I did notice tho that at 1080p 30fps a 6 min video is upwards of 2gb+ . So it fills up fast.
I'd also prefer to rewrite removable memory many times over because if it fails I toss it out and get a new one Internal not so simple.
It's like a case for electronics.... Just good protection

Oh yeah, the internal is more of a failsafe.
I ordered that card but in the meantime, internal will have to do.
Still, even with the bad video, the smile on my face while flying was well worth it !

Personally I don't have a computer to process 4k. So I record in 1080. I have no 4k screens, I'm not capturing any great attraction /scenery So it's plenty fine for me.
Plus as a glasses wearer 1080 is crisp enough lol

That helps clean up the choppy etc also allows the app to run smooth as butter

 

[Underdog1964]

Understood.
That card should be good for 4K though, right?

Thanks!
Yes, I bought Refresh. If I never use it, it's still money well spent.
You're right, it was a white knuckle few minutes for me and I barely went anywhere!

Next flight will be at our local park which ironically used to be a small local airport back in the day!

If you never need the Refresh that's the best possible outcome. Good luck, be careful & most important, have fun !

Just a little advise - put attention on pre flight check process. It punnished me in the middle of Sevilla (Spain) where i forgott to unfold the landing gears and lost the signal very soon .
It ended up by nice landing via help of branches of surrounding trees. MA survived.

100% yes

 

[Underdog1964]

Well, the video was unusable but apparently I can still crop and screen shot stills out of it.

Pennsylvania on the left of the bridge and New York on the right.

So, while I’m waiting for my back ordered case, I see B&H has a special in their email blast that if you purchase a Mavic Air, they throw in a 128 Gig card at no charge.
I asked via chat if I could get in on that as I just bought my Fly More Combo.
Today the case AND the card arrived... no charge!
The case was last week's special bundle.
Gotta love these guys!

Nice, even a u3 card!

Not a bad little case! I made a bigger one to accommodate more stuff.. Might have to use my spare little pelican case for the modded controller that's coming lol my wife hates me

Thank you. It will also double as a launching pad. Gotta keep my bird outta the dirt!
I was surprised at the card too! I guess that other one is going right back to Amazon when it gets here!

I did the landing pad, but in a pinch can use the case... Practice hand land/take off its pretty handy too

It got here today.
The B&H one has neither the "PRO" or "UHS-1" designation on it.
I'm thinking I should keep it and maybe use the freebie as a backup.
