I received the Mavic Air 2 with Fly More kit. I've had it two days.
> I registered with the FAA and applied a label with the FAA # on the Drone.
> I called my insurance company to make sure I was covered for Liability in case I hit a car or a person. I'm covered under my homeowners up to $300,000.
> I printed the Owners Manual and put it in a 3 ring binder. This has been a huge help in learning about the control systems. I started on page one, I haven't finished it yet.
> I had a problem with my iPhone X screen not showing the drone live video feed. I rebooted the phone and it worked.
> I used DJI Assistant and updated the Firmware for the Drone and all three batteries. I also calibrated the Drone. I found that a USB-C to USB-C cable did not connect the Drone to my 16" Mac Book Pro running Catalina. The DJI cable worked using a Thunderbolt 3 to USB adapter. New MacBook Pros do not have USB ports, only Thunderbolt 3 ports.
> I only flown it for about 90 minutes so far. As you know the views are amazing.
> I posted some simple video to Vimeo. The file straight from the camera is very large at 4K. I used Adobe Premier Elements to upload to Vimeo at 1920x1080.
> I ordered a hard case from Empire Drone. I like the design and the layout.
> My grandkids have done most of the flying. Ages 11, 9 and 4. Even the 4 yr old does very well handling it. We were at a middle school on a football field with a large parking lot attached. There wasn't much to interfere.
> Tracking is amazing. The kids were on bicycles and the drone followed them without a problem.
I'm looking forward to editing some video and photos to make a short movie. It's going to take a lot of practice to get better at controlling it and the camera.
Learning all this is as much fun as flying.
