What else would you like answered about the Mavic Air 2?

Thanks for the videos, Felix! My question is does the MA2 have the C Mode like the Mini? I think I heard you say it but I could be wrong.

It's called tripod mode on the MA2 and other mavics. Basically the same mode

Nice work!

Thank you. I am familiar with it on the DJI Go 4 app and the Fly app but I noticed a response elsewhere in the forum that Mavic Air 2 does not support it.

So, has anyone tried connecting/pairing the MA2 with the M2 remote? would be nice if it works

I read a post from DJI stating “ it will be compatible  after two weeks of the launch of the Air2”

Got my Air2 today having real issue it gets between 450-500 m in distance then drops the signal. I fly my Pro Zoom on this exact route so I know there is no interference !!! Has anyone else had the same issue .

Mhhh.
My Air II works fine. Test fly distance: 2.8 km without any lost connection...

I have had range issues as well.  I expected better

Don’t mind 2.8miles but 500m I think I can throw it about that distance. Will update firmware tomorrow again see if that helps.

Did u have any issues with the signal dropping ??

I had interference on a fairly short flight too but I did have 2 mobile phones, both with wifi & blutooth on fairly close to the TX (Using one with the app). Went to another location, turned wifi and blutooth off and went over a km easily so can only think the the wifi & blutooth was interfering badly with the TX.

I have read about lots of guys have issues with distance, wonder if anyone ever got the 10km distance that the drone is said to go.

I read in the manual, to turn off WiFi and Bluetooth on your phone and other devices near by.

Great videos, thanks for sharing.

Thanks,will give it a go later today.!

Nice work Felix.

So in your video did you talk about how there are NO advanced GIMBAL settings? No EXP settings to control the sticks on the controller?

Put phone into airplane mode, Got 835 metres before the signal was lost again, very frustrating.

Hey, it has a tripod mode, no specific Cinematic mode.

I watched some of the first  2 videos before you posted it here. Then  I was distracted ( you started talking about Oktoberfest and I remembered that I had some Belgian beer and went to pour some). Sorry, didn't get back to the videos.
I guess you mentioned it so I’d better watch it again and  also the other one without the beer.
