First-time Drone Owner - Mavic Air 2

[OnlyMavic]

My name is Kit. My new Mavic Air 2 is arriving tomorrow. I purchased the Fly More Combo, and the Freewell All Day filter set. I'm just looking forward to getting out into the open spaces and capturing some 4K footage for possible licensing. Hoping to make good use of these forums and the helpful people here if I run into any problems or questions.

Hi OnlyMavic welcome to Mavic Pilots

New flyer advice.
Wide open space.
Slow & easy.
Power-lines & trees are evil.
Don't forget to reed the manual

Welcome to you in North San Diego County from Hauptmann in North Texas!

The MA2 is a fabulous machine for the beginner and the pro alike.

I lived in Rancho Bernardo for 25 years (first in Greens East, then Gatewood Hills). Lots of fellow Californians and over 100,000 others of us from around the world are here to help you gain skill as a pilot and photographer.

Be sure to read the manual, and practice using "find My Drone". Chances are you'll crash and perhaps lose your MA2). Just be sure you know how to retrieve it!

Glad to have you with us!

Welcome!

My own 2 cents:
Read this: A short explanation of compass function, calibration and errors.

Fly without looking at your screen at first. Understand what drone orientation is, what the lights mean, and how to navigate without the display. (Saved me numerous times)

Set up your menu system before take off. Meaning set your RTH Altitude, your RTH action, the APAS stuff etc. All before you take off.

Pretend like Sport mode doesn't exist.


Enjoy your new addiction. ?

...capturing some 4K footage for possible licensing.

You’re going to want your Part 107 license.

Trying to commercialize your footage without it is an invitation to legal problems.

Quite aware. Thanks!
