Great video, thank you, but is that a crash at the end?

Yes, camera was still OK though but flying impossible. The Mavic Air was send for repair and replaced.

Very nicely done video but why do people insist on flying indoors?

It's amazing how the music we add changes the mood of the video.  Your music was great.  If you had used "sweet" music, the whole video would have changed.  Now for advice.  I'd flown my Mavic Pro for a year when I finally decided to fly it indoors.  It took less than 5 minutes before I crashed into a wall.  So, for me, if I ever need to fly indoors, I'll buy a cheap drone to do it.  Now my Mavic doesn't have the obstacle avoidance that your Air does, but still risky to fly inside.  Good luck - hope the replacement/repaired unit comes back soon.

Well the crash makes me think twice before flying indoors again.
But really, I bought this drone because I want to make stuff with a flying camera. Fly and film over, under and through architecture only happened in my dreams before.... I guess when the location asks for it I will  risk it again.
I understand from previous posts the biggest risks are: Losing GPS-signal and thus flying ATTI + (my case) low battery from which automated RTH can not be cancelled.

Sorry to see the crash in the end. Looks like you clipped the props on the way up. Maybe a little tight to fly in.

StanfordWebbie was correct about the music. The right music gives the video Life.

For flying for just a month you also did a great job on editing.
