I’m going to lay out the five ways I turned this uber-expensive hobby into a profitable side hustle, and how you can too.

The DJI Mini 3 Pro battery can be charged in one of two ways: by connecting the USB cable directly to the drone, or by using the new two-way charging hub to charge up to three batteries sequentially.

The best MicroSD cards for your DJI Mavic Air 2 are those that offer a grade 3 speed, with a capacity of 64 to 128 GB.

The Mini 3 Pro and Mini 2 are two of the most feature-rich mini-drones available. They are unquestionable leaders that provide excellent value for the money spent on them.

Are you looking for a beginner’s drone that doesn’t cost a seasoned drone pilot’s fortune? Your budget is around $200, which you know can get you a pretty good drone. What are the best UAVs for less than $200?

This innovative system is what makes LAANC possible. LAANC is the Low Altitude Authorization, and Notification Capability, or LAANC for short since that’s such a mouthful.

To ensure you can capture the best quality photos and videos on your Air 2S, you will need a Micro SD Card that is Class UHS-I with a U3 rating, with a maximum storage capacity of 256 GB.

To ensure safe flights, you should change your drone props when they have been on for too long, when they appear to be worn and/or damaged, or when they have hit an object.

All DJI drone models, including the Mavic Air 2 and the Mini 2, have geofencing built into them.

I work for an outdoor and adventure TV show that produces a thirty-minute episode weekly, so I get to film with my drone often.

The answer is no, DJI drones are not waterproof…yet! There are a few models of DJI drones that are water-resistant, however, but most of these are not for the average drone enthusiast.

SD cards of a ‘Micro’ size are the ones required for your DJI Mini SE. They must have a Grade Three-speed and sufficient storage capacity to preserve all the data generated by a full day of recording and photographing, which frequently consists of three full batteries. 

A Geofence is a virtual, invisible barrier that surrounds a specific area. This barrier will provide a warning when approaching such a Geofenced boundary.

Below find a list of some of the more notable ones, none of which should keep the new drone enthusiast from owning a Tello.

As to compatibility, the RC Pro can be difficult to pair or link sometimes and is currently limited to only the Mavic 3 and the Air 2S. Below you will find the method to use for pairing or linking your aircraft to the RC Pro controller.

We will be looking at the best practices for accessing and downloading the Air 2S’s footage, whether to your smartphone or computer (PC or Mac), as well as the various locations the Air 2S stores its media.

Since the Google Play store doesn’t allow downloads to the RC Pro, in order to download apps to the RC Pro, you need to use an APK Downloader that does.

The Mavic 3 is not waterproof. Its design and build enable it to achieve some water resistance, but water can still manage to get to the internal parts, exposing it to damage.

Deciding to leave the world of the hobbyist pilot and enter the realm of the commercial pilot can certainly be intimidating. Don’t worry though, that’s what the drone community is here for.

Even though we recommend that you always operate your drone in safe conditions, the DJI Air 2S can withstand adverse weather pretty nicely. I am talking rain, snowfall, and extreme winds. Furthermore, thanks to an innovative water suit accessory, you can even fly it in heavy rain.

We’ll be going over various tips, tricks, and settings, broken down by area of interest, that you might not have heard of before or even thought of, all of which can assist in you producing the best images or video possible.

Intelligent Flight Batteries are embedded with computer chips that are programmed with specific instructions via firmware to protect your aircraft, extend flight time, communicate data, and protect battery life.

Some common issues with the DJI Fly app include problems updating or installing on some mobile devices, disconnections between remote and drone, and the lack of expected features or user settings.

You may use DJI Fly to update the firmware on your drone, access the FlySafe database, calibrate the compass and IMU, and, of course, fly your drone. It also comes with a large number of intelligent flight options to round out an excellent package.

To connect the Air 2S to the remote control for flight, you will need to have the DJI Fly app downloaded and installed. Then you will need to pair the Air 2S to the Remote Controller, and have the latest Firmware for the Air 2S installed.

To adjust the height limit on a DJI drone, go to the Main Controller Settings, and there you will see Max altitude. Here you can select a height limit ranging from 20 meters up to 500 meters, or 1640 feet. The default setting is 120 meters.

The Air 2S has upgraded Intelligent Flight so much that they have given the modes new names. FocusTrack mode includes Point of Interest 3.0, Spotlight 2.0, and Active Track 4.0. Hyperlapse mode has Free, Course Lock, Circle, and Waypoint included in the menu.

The Air 2S, like other DJI drones, can fly in temperatures ranging from 32 to 104° F (0 to 40° C), according to the manufacturer. In reality, this drone that provides the most value for money is capable of flying in extremely hot or cold weather, such as that experienced during a snowstorm.

Unlocking certain geofenced areas is simple thanks to the convenient online request procedure. Depending on the type of zone that you are trying to unlock, this can be done from the DJI Fly/DJI Go apps, or on DJI’s FlySafe webpage…

Yes. Not only does the DJI Smart Controller work with the Air 2S, but the newly released successor to the Smart Controller, the DJI RC Pro, also works with the Air 2S. Using either of these controllers will offer additional functions not currently available on the standard RC-N1 Remote Control.

There are programs you can purchase when buying a new drone, programs offered by the manufacturers such as DJI’s Care Refresh or Autel’s Care. These programs, however, can be limited and only cover so much, mainly just the drone itself.

According to DJI, the Air 2S can fly a maximum distance of 7.5 miles (12 km) and a maximum height of 3.1 miles (5 km). Those are actually pretty impressive numbers considering how small and light the Air 2S is. However, these distances, while looking great on paper, most likely will not be achieved by…

The DJI Air 2S has an intelligent follow-me feature called Active Track 4.0. This follow-me mode is part of DJI’s FocusTrack mode and allows the drone to follow moving subjects such as vehicles, people, or pets.

In this guide, I will give you a few pointers to approach drone photography with your DJI Mini 2 like a pro. I will teach you how to get the most out of your sensor, why shooting in RAW is so crucial, how to master light, and walk you through some step-by-step instructions.

DJI publications say that the Air 2S is not compatible with the V2 goggles and that this option is not a priority at this time. They advise that Air 2S owners watch for software updates for more information.

Since the DJI Air 2S has navigational lights and can be outfitted with a strobe kit, you can safely fly the drone at night. If you’re a commercial drone pilot, you must have your Part 107 license. Both commercial and recreational drone pilots must pass free night flying training.

Autel is beginning to give other big-name drone manufacturers some competition due in part to the long battery life that comes with the EVO series of drones. Autel claims that the EVO 2 Pro will fly for up to 40 minutes with its 3-cell (3S) 7100 mAh LiPo battery.

Like many other drones in the market, the Skydio drones come equipped with a great camera capable of capturing 4K video at 60 frames per second and a flight time of over 20 minutes.  All of that data needs to be stored somewhere, and like most drones, that data is stored on an SD card…

For the most part, the high-tech batteries used in your drone are based on the same technology and will provide a long time of use if you take care of them properly. With a few exceptions, proper use and care for your battery systems are no different for the Skydio and Skydio 2 than other…
