From Mini to Air 2.... now what?

[MassCoyote]

After around 100 flights with the Mini, I wanted something that could handle more wind gusts. Today, I purchased a Mavic Air 2 from Best Buy. Haven’t even opened it yet. Already got my FAA number and comfortable flying drones.

However, I’ve read that I have to charge all batteries on the drone the first time otherwise they’ll brick. Anything else I should Initially know that the manual doesn’t cover? I follow most the popular Mavic/drone YouTubers and only will use it for recreation. I plan on getting DJI Refresh. TYIA

you need to do the first charge of all of the batteries just using the charging brick to wake them up , then you can use the charge hub for further charges
they are not charged in the drone like the MM ones

The absolute best advise I can give you. First read your manual. Second is to take your time and learn the controls. Third is safety and enjoy your new hobby.

You have to get DJI refresh within 48 hours of activation otherwise is a much more convoluted process

Can I activate Air 2 US version when I’m located in Greece?

YouTube has several setup videos that are detailed on how to get your Mavic Air 2 flying safely. Some are more detailed than others.. however if you watch several, you should have a good handle on the setup if you're not there already. Course, as noted, its always handy to read the manual as well..

You need to charge them separately first, then you can charge more than one at at time after the initial charge.

First read the manual. Second read the manual again. Third charge the batteries one at a time in the single charger.

GET REFRESH BEFORE YOU TAKE OFF

Yes you can. Enjoy flying

yes you can but it might tie any warranty claims to the country of registration. That is the case when you get the refresh pagkage. it has to go to the country of purchase repair centre

Hm. I charged all of them in a hub without issues (first time charging).

The MA2 is a great machine with a great camera. Lots of cool stuff to shoot in New England!

Read the manual (link below), and be conservative at first. Practice using "Find My Drone". Don't wait until you lose your MA2 before you try to learn how to find it.
