  • Although this button doesn't have the coolest features, it's definitely a helpful thing to know about if you own a Mavic Air.

    I’ve had my mavic air for a year, lol, I just accidentally pushed that button picking it up a few moments ago and wondered what it did, lol, congrats! When I youtube searched it your video was the number one choice that came up. I’m already subbed though. Good info for those of us who are allergic to instructions of any kind, thanks!

    When one flies the drone, do you concentrate on the video screen or the map screen? Seems that one can monitor the flight better with the map screen and monitor the yaw or horizontal movements. I use either a 32 SD card or 64 SD card. After a 10 minute flight, I watch the video on the computer. I often get two video feeds about 3.5 or 4 Gig respectively instead of one video lasting 10 minutes for about 8 Gig or so. How can I get the entire flight on one video feed?

    You may need to download the manuals from the DJI website. I just brought a Mavic Air and it did not come with a user manual. It came with the following manuals: (1) Battery Charging Hub; (2) Quick Start Guide; (2) Battery to Power bank Adaptor guide: (3) Battery Safety Guidlines: (4) Disclaimer and Safety Guidelines: (5); and Propeller Guards manuals. No Mavic Air User Manual. After looking at this video and some comments that it is in the manual and decided to go to DJI website and, behold, download the Mavic Air User Manual. The website also had instruction manual for flight controller to some other manuals that might be helpful and not found in the box. Again, go to the DJI website and download the manual.

      Yeah, but some manuals can be a pain to read. Details are not always clearly described and/or poorly worded or even missing altogether. Besides it's more fun to watch youtube videos with a cold beer and learn things "hands on". Billy always does a great job. Never a waste of time. He's articulate and get's right to the point. Awesome job Billy!
