Top Quality Drone (Great Buy, No Regrets) - Tips for Potential Buyers

It was an amazing and very interesting purchase. I've had it for 2-3 months now and I've learned a few things that new potential owners will find useful. This is a Fly More kit that differs from the standard drone in that it comes with two extra good travel packs designed to keep all your gear in one place. The Fly More Kit is worth the extra money in my opinion as the batteries last about 20 minutes each and take some time to charge. "Fly More Kit" gives you a flight lesson with 3 batteries. The holdall works well too as it packs all the parts and is practically free in the price. The drone comes with 8GB of internal storage, but you'll probably want to buy a memory card. I bought a Samsung 128GB Evo Plus Class 10 Micro SDXC from Revain and it worked great with the drone, my Imac and MacBook with no issues. one. I've spent a month without a polarizer and want to buy one immediately. This is because a tonne-high drone is exposed to light. Especially if you're shooting around the ocean. I bought PolarPro Vivid Collection Filter 3-Pack (ND4/PL, ND8/PL, ND16/PL) Cinema Series for DJI Mavic Air and it turned out to be top notch. For best results, it is recommended to shoot with the Mavic Air in manual mode. video and photo. There is a so-called 180 rule that can help you get your video settings right to get the best possible picture. However, if you are near water, you cannot set the drone to Rule 180 settings without an ND filter. Pros: 1) Folds up very compactly (smaller than all other DJI drones) 2) Folds up relatively easily to learn to fly 3) Records 4K video, has a 28MP camera 4) Anti-collision cameras at the front, bottom and rear automatically prevent collisions with objects. (This is important if you are new to drones to avoid a crash). 5) Quality design and construction. Cons: 1) Mavic Air works on Wi-Fi signal and works quite well. I was able to fly my drone at 5,000ft, but it seems very annoying when you're in a city. It's not an overwhelming disruption, but it's a minor issue. In comparison, the Mavic Pro has an advanced communication system that creates a better/stronger connection with the drone, but the Mavic Pro is not as compact when folded and is a bit more expensive. That was the biggest difference in my opinion. Thanks to the stronger signal, Mavic Pro maintains a better connection even when using Active Track. Hope this helps your research!
