Hey
Long time lurker, first time pilot and poster! After *ALMOST* buying the DJI Spark, I took delivery of my DJI Mavic Air last month as it had the three things I lacked in the Spark: 3-axis gimbal, 4K video and rear sensors. The extra flying time is nice too...
After flying around in my garden for a while, I've just come back from two weeks on the Swedish west coast where I eventually was brave enough to fly it out over the open sea and got some spectacular shots.

Like others, I have issue with the speed of the horizontal yaw so I'll need to learn to adjust that in the settings. I also need to learn more about how the shutter speed affects image quality etc. and as I'll be shooting over open water, I'm probably gonna want some ND-filters.
I had a scary/fun near-miss with some seagulls bent on proving air superiority over the Mavic!
Could've ended badly for both the seagull and the Mavic!
Finally, I'm pretty impressed with the locally-cached 1080p video quality in the iPhone (at least for quick Instagram posts) even though the DJI Go 4 editing app leaves a lot to be desired.
We're about to go on a 4-week vacation in California (LA, San Diego, SF, Highway 1) with side-quests to Las Vegas, Grand Canyon and Yosemite, so I'm hoping to get some fantastic drone footage. What are the drone regulations like in CA?
