I have just received my fly more combo today in arctic white from the DJI Orange County store in California , paid for 2 days shipping order placed Thursday. Here  are some photos, hopefully this will help some people before they get theirs.

Looks good.  Congrats... but I got to ask... Is that a Toyota Camry screen saver?

Thanks, and yes lol is my 2018, i took a picture with my pixel 2 xl and it was so good looking i decided to put it as my screen saver lol, that's my commuter , if it helps i also own a 2005 350z .

This drone feels like something Apple will do , very high quality !

It most certainly does help...

Thank you very much for all these pictures, look great! :-)
But what it this Micro USB connector on the RC (first picture below)? Can it be removed? If not, I am going to have a big problem with both my tablet and CrystalSky holders.
And what does the sticker on the second picture below cover? Very curious...And heartfelt congratulations again! You are probably the first among us "normal" users to hold it in his hands .

I'm guessing you don't have a Mavic Pro , it is the same as with the Mavic that's what you would call the OTG cable in the spark , the remote has a micro usb on the side to connect your phone directly , by default dji ships the lightning connection connected but if you want to connect a crystal sky or an android phone , they give you a micro usb to usb type c or micro usb to micro usb cable, so you can definitely change it , for your second question that is just a protective sticker that i havent peeled off yet , that part of the Air is metallic, and im guessing dji put the protective film to protect the metal against scratched during transport.   

Congrats!!   Looking great!!

Mine will be here on Wednesday from OC.  

Many congratulations and for the pics too. Looks very cool. I'm so pleased they are actually being received! Well done to DJI for getting the orders bang on.

Spot on - the RC also has a USB port at the bottom for CrystalSky or iPad connection. Be sure to remove the micro USB lead to the left of the remote if connecting a USB lead to the bottom.

Thank you very much for the clarification. And have you taken off already? We are all so curious, thank you for continuing your report!

Not yet , believe it or not i was flying my Mavic pro , i just got back I'm charging the batteries right now , then i need to update firmware with dji assistant 2 , calibrate compass and if it is not too late i'll take off and report back ! Also they way the batteries go into the charger is so different from anything else dji jas made , ill post a picture here .

Thats a picture of the charger charging the batteries

It's very similar to the charging hub of CrystalSky, just for four instead of two batteries at the same time.

Exactly , i'm planning on buying a fourth one when they become available .

Don't calibrate the compass if you are not asked to do it would be my recommendation. And don't calibrate anything else either if not asked to do it. Looking forward to your further reports, thank you again!

Yup just like in the Mavic Pro

Absolutely - this looks like a proper hybrid between the Spark and MP. Cool

And I am curious to see what Mavic Air icon will be added on your profile if they have thought of creating one already for the Air.

Great, but go for the firmware updates first of all with DJI Assistant for both the Air and the RC would be my recommendation. Otherwise you might end up struggling with many things at the same time.

Ok i'll update firmware first in assistant 2 and then activation.

DJI assistant 2 does not recognize the aircraft , ill have to do it with the DJI go 4 app , which i dont like

That's not the best option indeed. Let's check if there is a new version of DJI Assistant that I somewhat expected to be required for Air...

Yes there is a new version 1.2.0. Try that one: https://www.dji.com/mavic-pro-platinum/info#downloads

Got it had to use DJI Go 4 , i had 1.2.0 and when i connected the air it would display as mavic 2-3 once i clicked on it it will just be a blank page with no info , i think they need an updated version of assistant 2 for the air  , but activation and firmware update went smooth using DJI go 4 with Iphone 7 plus, its done , just have to calibrate the compass is asking for it is all over the place.

Thank you, that is very valuable feedback for all who are going to receive their Air in the coming days! And please keep on reporting, you are doing a great pioneer job here

That’s the same as Mavic controller, you will no longer need an otg to connect your Crystalsky to remote it will just plug straight in normal usb from Crystalsky.

I just looked at this thread but I'm very curious for a comparison on how the MP does compared to its new little bro the MA. I see u have flown a MP previously so your insight/ first flight experience will give mngr more clarity on if i will scoop one up.

Please give a detailed review !!!!!

Thank you, I have understood that I believe, but I was referring to that thing in the left clamp of the RC in red circle of the picture I have posted. If this could not be removed I could not place my tablet and CS holder in the RC clamps. But I am confident now that it can be removed since otherwise my holders which were originally designed for Mavic Pro wouldn't work there either.
