Using mavic air without flying?

[Trebor75]

Hi peoples. Question is can I use the air as a camera only and not fly? Will this hurt the internals etc from heat and not cool down with flying? How long would the battery last? I'm thinking of filming a sunset that would last a while so wanted some answers to the questions I'm thinking of. Anything I'm missing?

Thanks

Many people use their drones as hand held cameras. You wont get any sound, but dont worry about the drone getting too hot. The Airs cooling fan will keep everything cool. Just remember to take off your gimbal lock and props.

I sat mine on the dashboard in the car and video a 15 minute trip down the motorway and back home again. Turned out well.

MA works well as a hand held camera. If you are concerned about sound, keep the remote handy.

Alternative, is to perhaps purchase the DJI Osmo Mobile 2, ($115). Uses your cell phone (Android/iOS) and really works great. Many more options than just using the drone as a video camera. I have one and I love it!

Check out Katana. I know they make a hand holder for the MP. I'm not sure about the Air. I dont have the link, but I'm sure you can Google it.
