And I mean this cotton ball type pollen. The air (not the Mavic, the actual air) was full of it even at 60m. I thought I heard the motors rev up more than usual a couple of times. I kept it close just in case. But how much of a risk is this?
I personally wouldn't fly in thick airborne pollen, but I am also extremely an@l about where I fly. The less junk that gets sucked into the drone, around the gimbal, etc. the better in my mind. DJI's drones can handle quite a lot but it's never good to test it in my opinion 
Getting a lot of the fluffy stuff flying around on the east coast of England at the mo. Only through the day though, nothing in the evening when I fly.
Agree with CD’s comment though, don’t want crap clogging up inside my M2
It was such a pleasant afternoon, the first decent day we had in nearly two weeks. I am weak and I gave in. But you guys are right, it can't be good.
I have no clue what they are called. My English completely fails me when it comes to tree names. Whatever they are, they are a complete nuisance when they decide to procreate.
Leaving our back door open this time of year, bad mistake... we get clumps of white cotton wool fluff everywhere? pain in the backside.. I wonder if it’s airborne, say 200ft.... but we’ve got to fly fly through it to get to that height?
Oh yes, not as bad as it is near ground but it is still there dancing in the air. My videos from yesterday are full of it.
No, I watched the clips and I hated myself.I didn't get one shot right. I was too cautious, I kept the Mavic Air too close and there isn't one shot that is worth posting.
Thought I’d ask, gutted for ya that you didn’t get a decent shot? you learn by your mistakes, oh I make plenty of them?
Look at this for example, it was a nice scene. Get lower follow along from a respectable distance, how hard can that be? But what do I do? I stick it up there like a freaking tripod! Atrocious! Oh and, you can see a few of them cotton balls zip by

Practice makes perfect, as they say, I used to do vids years ago with my old phantom 2 and my Inspire 1 but not done any with the mavic as yet. I’m more interested in the photography side at the mo but no doubt I’ll give vids another try.
I know you wasn’t happy with your video but it looked nice a sharp, colours, cracking so it’s just getting more familiarised with the controls, it will all come together ??
Hey @Porky - you can see the pollen rain better in this one. It was soon after I took off and the camera was facing the sun. On watching it again, I shouldn't have flown in that. Lesson learned
