Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

I was there myself this morning, but left the drone at home. It looks just as good up high as it did down below, roll on the summer!0 -

Today would have been perfect!
You're telling me. First time flying in a month and the light was great today. I'll be looking for my next point of interest for something interesting over the rest of the weekend.

Yep, a child could fly it! Have you got any footage to share?

Controversial I know - but recording using 2K makes substantially smaller files - uploaded to youtube - youtube then reduces the quality again a lot - but at least its not sitting doing nothing on the harddrvie.
The builtin DJI app can make some nice 30 second summary videos - which keeps the video interesting - the quality is not the best either at I think only 720p - but its good for emailing.
Editing 4K videos is a total pain unless you have a high end pc and purchased software - I posted elsewhere some free command line tools to quickly losslessly cut and join 4K files that worked for me.“Roll it back”

As you can see from my previous posts I am far from an expert, but is everything ok with those photos, i.e are you allowed that high - perspective could be fooling me too, in a busy city?0 -

just wondering, did you get Master Airscrew 'stealth' props yet? If not, get a set (approx. £22 on amazon uk), well worth the money 0 -

I'm tempted, but from reading around online:
- The audio in youtube tests honestly doesn't sound a whole lot different (but very hard to tell over computer)
- Non official props, is there any downsides?0 -

one thing only, they're seem to look and feel more fragile than original ones and to be honest, managed to break one prop already (got second set already) hitting hay straw on take off
anyways, youre right, YT videos doesn't give full impression, If you're in Dublin by any chance, can meet you and you'll get a chance to compare them by yourself 0 -

I've heard lots of voltage and motor issues using the master airscrew. I almost bought them after watching YouTube videos boasting 2 mins more flight time and noise reduction but decided against them after reading nearly every review online, there's a lot of good, but many bad too!
Read the negative reviews on Amazon, I wouldn't want to risk wrecking it when it flies perfectly with the stock props but does make an annoying 'drone'. 0 -

This is exactly my feelings, my air was not cheap and it gets treated with all the care and love I can - it could be a genius marketing gimmick but I feel I should stick with DJI gear.
Then again I can only assume its not a huge engineering challenge, given the quiet props on the pro. So maybe as the Air mark 2 debues the Air will get quiet prop refresh/up sell? I think similar happened with the original Pro.
Side point, I was in a park saw a pro2, and all I did was see it, no whine till I was a meters away laterally.0 -

There ware some issues with 1st version of the props, v.2 which is on amazon is free of. I guess that most likely people forgot to change drone settings as per props manual I've flown my Air with default settings (forgot to change it too ) and no errors whatsoever. Didn't try speed mode tho but a few 2km long flights in pretty strong wind would indicate issues if any 0 -

Yep, just over the little rocky island. It lost connection for about 5 seconds and went into RTH mode.
Still here but the weather has been all over the place recently, so glad I charged a few batteries 0 -
