I went out this evening for the first time with my Mavic Air 2, and overall it was a positive experience. What took a bit of time was getting used to the change of menus when you get into flight, but after a while that was not a problem. I did find that some of the touch areas were a little insensitive, maybe it is my stubby fingers but sometimes it took a couple of stabs on the control before it reacted. The camera & Gimbal worked well and I got some good images. What surprised me the most was at one time I was in an area where it would be difficult to land the drone, so I got it into position whereby I could pick the drone out of the air, I tried to pull it down a bit and the drone fought against me and would not let me pull it down from where it settled. I then just got hold of it and pulled the control sticks down and killed the motors. The drone was quite responsive to stick controls and I did not notice any lag. Contrary to some reports I was getting about 34 minutes of flight time with each battery, but what annoyed me a little was that after cancelling the first RTH I did not give me an option after that, and with 3 minutes of flight time left it came back home. I was only flying a short distance away so those 3 minutes could have been used productively. Overall my first reaction is positive and my confidence has increased.
