Hello - new Mavic Air user #waves

Hi All

Just bought a Mavic Air, having been reading and researching for some time on a good product which will serve as strong start point and possibly not ever need to be 'upgraded'. Ordered Fly More combo, as seems to make sense, and spent an enjoyable hour or so yesterday flying around my cul-de-sac!

So far, watched a few vids (in advance) such as the excellent Beginners Guide elsewhere on these forums, and charged/firmware updated everything...… and burned through 3 battery charges already

Trying to decide on insurance...… firstly, whether to have or not and if so, leaning towards FlyIcarus with FPV membership too (covers all bases) at the moment, as it seems very comprehensive, rather than DJI Care Refresh - happy to take feedback!

Check with your home owner's insurance office too. Many companies will cover it under personal property. I know mine does, but I also bought the care package DJI sells too. Happy flying. I'm a newbie pilot too and LOVE this new hobby!!

Welcome to the forum! One of my drones is a Mavic Air, it's fun to fly. Plus if the weather is bad, I put the prop-guards on and buzz around indoors. As for insurance, I have State Farm PAP that covers all the drones plus my cameras. I talked to my agent and he confirms my home owners policy will cover any liability in case I fly though Granny's picture window.

Hi Thomas
Do you know if there is a ‘kill switch’ option on the Mavic Air. I saw it demonstrated on a Phantom but can’t see how to do it with the MAvic Air?
Thanks

Just curious how much does insurance run on your Mavic?

Sorry, I don’t. There must be a stick maneuver. Get the full manual at the link below. It’s at the very bottom.

DJI - The World Leader in Camera Drones/Quadcopters for Aerial Photography

As the market leader in easy-to-fly drones and aerial photography systems, DJI quadcopters like the Phantom are the standard in consumer drone technology.

There isn't a kill switch like the Phantom. A CSC will only stop the motors mid-flight in the case of an emergency -- like if the Mavic Air crashes into a tree.

Per the Mavic Air manual:
