But wouldn’t the curvature be around the outer edges vs warping in towards the middle? I haven’t seen my Mavic Pro do this. It’s not something I notice in most cases but just happened to here. The horizon seems pretty straight. It’s just at a point center from left to right, down from the top about 1/4 the way down.

Good luck I’ve read too many bad things don’t want to bust your bubble held one in my hand at the hobby store the other day seem very plasticky I’ve got a Mavic pro eight months now love the Photos video pretty good for a half inch sensor but I’m purchasing a phantom pro soon with the 18 sensor can’t wait to get it good luck with the Mavic air, just watched a video of a guy on YouTube smashing it beating you at throwing water on it I’m sure you’ll see it real knucklehead I’ve got to say that dating is very tough
Test image shows distortion clearly:
Nothing that a good fix in Premiere pro cant fix. Gopro is pretty much the same thing.
I just don’t think they would have released it with that flaw. There has got to be something wrong. I just need to know if I need to send it back or wait for a firmware update. I’m not too concerned b cause it still has a great picture but i would like to get it fixed by DJI and not have to do it in post.

I agree. I'm just saying though that every dji has had a lens preset in Adobe suite to fix the distortion that each len's produced so even if dji does not fix this issue it's easily fixed in post
This is my stopgap until the MP2 comes out. I’ve had a MP from the start. Was one of the first in the country to get one. Though I’ve never obtained great video with my MP so I thought I’d try the Air for my upcoming three week trip to Thailand. Probably going to give my MP to my father-in-law over there, get some brownie points (he wants a drone bad), then sell the Air at a bit of a loss when the MP2 comes out. Other than this pincushioning I do really like the video I’m seeing with it. Noticeably better than my Mavic Pro. I’d just like to know if they can really fix it with a firmware update or not. Called DJI today. All they suggested was to reinstall everything, which I did. They will exchange it if not better, but really wonder if they are just exchanging because they don’t know how to fix it right now...

Did a quick test, and I have the same issue:
.
You can see the warping distortion very clearly in the roofs during the yawing motion. It's pretty bad, not happy about it...
The AIR has a 85deg FOV lens, slightly more than the Spark and significantly more than the Mavic. As someone said, this is the same issue which affects a GoPro or similar action cams with wide FOV. It can be fixed in software or in post, but it's not a faulty camera.
I strongly suspect that we ALL have this. We need to find a way to get the AIR developers to see it. Im sure that DJI help desk is just going to say "sure,...reboot, reset to factory defaults, send them a sample or send it back to DJI". There is nothing those guys can do. Its got to get up through the layers to the firmware development team.Just came across a helpful video on camera settings for the Air, but noticed the same distortion in their video, obviously how visible it is depends upon the scene, but you can clearly see a very wavy horizon (looking at the middle section not the edges).
And if the user doesn't have Adobe? How would you correct in other photo programs, like Corel PaintshopPro?I agree.
