    I've been lurking here for weeks with the intention of buying the Xiaomi but actually just bought a Mavic Air. Even though it's more expensive couldn't pass it up at the current price (black only) on amazon.it - grab it while you can:

    I have an Education 10% discount to use on DJI, still no mavic air option up, if that amazon price goes sub 700 again, I would love to take it. Can you let us know your experience, plugs,manauals, issues etc..

    Only used mine once since I got it 6 months ago, was impressed with the quality but kind of regret buying it as theres not many places you can fly it and it brings a lot of attention from people and im an introvert lol. Might bang it on adverts

    My mate at work has one for sale. Flown once for 10 minutes. He lives near Dublin airport, so is in a no fly zone and can't fly in his garden.

    I was watching that thinking ‘that’s very like Coravaddy’ and it was. I live 3km from there on the Drumkeen side.

    What’s the range with it?

    I haven't tested the range yet. I have went 500 meters so far but should be able to go mile maybe more

    I was asking this question too not so long ago and found most good quality drone videos edits where composed using Adobe Premier Pro. It definitely makes a huge difference to your drone videos. Took me a week or two to get the hang of the software but there is plenty of video tutorials on YouTube. This was my first attempt using the software down in Connemara. :)

    Adobe Premier Pro!! Looks complicated at first but if you stick with it you will get some great results. YouTube tutorials were great for video tips and advice on achieving certain looks, i am by no means an expert yet and have a long way to go to master this software. Hope this helps :)

    I'm sure an older version like CS6 that is no subscription could be found cheap!

    Don't they have a find my drone feature built into the app?

    I've thankfully never had to use mine in a real life scenario, but within my dji app, there's a feature to find the last known location of the drone, and its fairly accurate, like down to a foot or so accuracy?

    I had last known location but it disconnected from controller , I had it up high nearly directly over my head and it kept going in last direction,nothing I could do but watch it go ,I tried to keep sight of it but it was a sunny cold morning ,spent 2 days looking for it but no luck ,battery was full so it could have traveled long way...
    As I said earlier on in thread, I should have printed phone number on it or used a tracker

    Just about to buy this now! Does anyone have a preferred shipping warehouse? Am I better off shipping from Europe? Also there is two Europe flags? Which one should I be choosing?

    It was coming in at €446 from European warehouse with DHL shipping. Appreciate any advice!
