After all the recent updates for both the CS and the MA and them eventually working together a second maiden flight in this setup was overdue. During the past days weather did not permit but today it was sunny, although cold.
In summary it was just fantastic. The video quality on CS was stunning throughout. Not the slightest disruptions or disturbances. Dimensions better than my already very good experiences with Spark. Just perfect. Here three pictures I have taken during the testing (no post editing):

Very nice Wachtberger!

I'm quite jealous because I'm forced to use my cellphone, and once you use the CS....well everything else is just shizen!

I'm trying to decide if I should wait for DJI to release a mount for the MA, or go with a 3rd party such as PolarPro or  Mavmount.

Cheers...

I’ve just bought the PolarPro. Now got to wait for the USPS to deliver it, which will probably be as frustrating as waiting for my new CS from DJI. Discounting the OEM mounts, which I’d have preferred if there was one available, I think the PolarPro looks the best.

They look very good. The weather here is also far from flyable, glad at least you can get some time in the air (with the air )

I looked for the Polar Pro CS mount for Mavic Air on the Polar Pro website but could not find it.  I only see one for the Mavic and Spark.  Is there another model specifically for the Air?  Thanks.

The MP Mount will fit the Air, the size of the RC is the same, I am using a Evolution 3D Mount from my MP and it fits the MA perfectly, this is a clip on mount so the fit has to be perfect.

Due to bad weather in the last weeks it took me some time to have my maiden flight with the MA + CS.

Here are some pics and a short video (nothing special, just for testing)

Finally got my charger for my Crystalsky, so hopefully I’ll be able fly with it soon too. Loving the screen, even compared to my iPad mini. It’s so bright, even with brightness turned down.

I've been itching to get a CrystalSky since I spent most of my time shooting in very bright daylight. Bought the DJI Goggles and Epson BT-300, both work OK but not perfect, and each of them has its own problem. For some reason I have the impression that the Android version of GO4 is 'slightly' not as reliable as the IOS version. So I would really like to hear some feedback from those who have used the CrystalSky. By the way, VERY NICE photos, without being 'INTERESTING'...LOLLL
