This is my first drone also. I got it in February of this year. So far I am very impressed with how stable, even in high winds (15-20 mph) this drone is. It will even tell you on the screen high wind warning. For me I downloaded the app to my phone (free.) Went through the step by step instructions to connect drone, remote and phone. registered and did the update at that time. I personally have not had any issues with any firmware update.
I was on a trip recently. Didn't have a car charger to charge batteries. The app wanted to update firmware. I didn't want to waist battery on that at the time, so I put my phone on airplane mode, no issues flying. I did the update at a later date. Still no issues with operations. I have flown the Mavic Air once without GPS lock (in Vision ready.) I was around tall trees and was impatient, almost lost it to a tree. So unless you're good at flying, wait for GPS lock. It doesn't take but a few moments to lock on normally, I just had a lot of trees in the way.
My friend was on the fence on buying the Mavic Pro. I told him my experience with my Air. He bought it, but didn't open the box just yet. He flew my Air and that sealed the deal. He loves his Pro. He has built 2 quad copters in the past, has flown RC helicopters. He is impressed on how well the Mavics' work. I have no affiliation with Dji. Just putting out my experience as a first time drone owner.
Hope that helps with any un-answered questions or concerns. I am still super new, and still learning capabilities of this amazing drone. |
