So what do you think about the new Mavic Air 2? If I didnt own a M2P, Id think its an awesome release, but I kinda want tell DJI FU, considering the money I spent on a M2P 6 months ago lol. Im starting to consider the Skydio, or maybe an Autel, since I use active track 95% of the time. Although, Im sure my M2P took a big hit on resell value. Of course, If you followed my WMs thread, then you know I could easily end up buying a M3P lol.

That thing look awesome. 4K at 60 FPS should render some very nice smooth footage. At <1k for the flymore package, that is a good deal considering this is getting close to pro level footage. I bought the Mavic air and only played with it a few times, still learning some of its tricks and trying to settle on good editing software.
Only concern is flying over water. I looked into the floats you can buy on amazon and they are very unstable. Even small waves can tip it over. Wish I had access to a 3d printer, I would make my own design. It needs to be wider and longer to keep center of gravity from shifting and drone flipping over and ending upside down in the water.

Hey DNIX, that video you posted is pretty cool. How are you doing with the landing?. Are you able to easily land on boat deck? Did you purchase floats in case of a water landing? Its one of the things I haven't settled on. I am getting practice and some footage with my Mavic on dry land, we don't really have enough warm weather to get on water yet. I wouldn't feel comfortable flying over water right now. What is your take, do u use those floats they sell on AMazon?

I dont have floats or anything like that......I guess Im a risk taker lol

As far as landing, I would learn to catch it by hand, before you use it on a boat. Google some videos on catching it, and learn from everyone elses mistakes. You need to really be confident, before trying to catch it on the boat, but its so much easier.

I got a M2P last september or so and have really enjoyed it. I also downloaded filmora for editing but I have not really had a chance to sit down and play with it. I did on edit of my Wifes cousins farm using the DJI app and then I have used the auto edit for pretty much everything else. Here is some footage from the last couple weeks up at Lake Conroe. I have a hard time getting action shots since its a small crew usually and if I am driving the boat then there is no one to fly to drone and vice versa.

I have a set of PGY Tech filters that came with it as well but I never take the time to use them haha.

Cool. You do need the ND filters. I bought some reasonably priced ND/polarized filters from Amazon. If you're on water you may want to consider polarized/ND filters., On a bright day I would use the ND16 and reduce your shutter speed. Get a much clearer, defined image.
I bought these:

Don't think these fit the M2P but I'm sure they make them for it.

Yeah I have the polar pro app to help determine what filter is appropriate for the day. Most of the time I’m in a rush and just don’t use it
