Great video bro. I can’t get into your for sale items. Says out of stock. Thank you. Also. I’m not 107 licensed. Is that a big deal. Should I get? Thank you

Sorry, we sometimes go out of stock when we are away and don't notice, send a message and we can get them restocked. Yes, if you are making money with your drone you should have a 107 license.

iPad you just download the app and connect it to the controller. Best drone depends on the requirements of the shoot, a Mini 2 could be fine or a 10k Sony Airpeak could be, I can’t tell you what the best one for you will be.

Thank you so much for this video. I never thought I would want a drone but while on vacation I was introduced to the 2S and am seriously thinking about getting one. One question that you may have covered elsewhere - What are your thoughts about the Smart Controller? I see you use phones and tablets with sun shields so my guess is that you have a reason to do so. Please enlighten me. Thanks in advance.

[@molemontagnard435]

Hi, 2 questions regarding the AIR2S 1) could you tell me why the batteries purchased separately are lower in mAh than those delivered with the drone? These are not the same references: R-410... instead of R-411... Where to find the same 3750mAh batteries, because those sold individually are now only 3500mAh. 2) can we set in DJY fly a constant flight height / ground when there are unevenness, without the need to adjust by hand systemically, to keep the same flight height / ground and not the altitude constant? THANKS

[@dudeandhisdrones]

1. I have no idea why, I would ask DJI 2. Not that I know of, altitude is based off of where it lifts off at, it does not track the contour of the ground

[@s33zh3r9]

Just purchased a couple of these items. Thank you!

[@popeyetsm2750]

Excellent video; so, new subscriber here. A bit of a silly question: It appears that the prop holders that you demonstrated, the ones that don't bind, stress and press down on the props, but that merely contain and "capture" them, are the 3D printed holders, not the PGYTECH holders. Is that correct? I don't want to order the wrong set by mistake. Again, thanks for the great video, and I look forward to watching many more of your presentations.

[@ronmarkum4723]

Do the leg mounts for the Air 2S need to be Arc II or the Dual? I don't see a specific leg mount for the Air II S that is Arc II specific. Please advise. I'm getting ready to order almost all of this stuff from you. Since you're still using the strobes from the Slimeball, I guess I will, too. Also, I don't see the Sandisk Extreme Plus that is gold and red like the one shown in the video. I'm brand new to this and I'd like to order the perfect stuff.

Are there any brand of prop holders that won’t scrape the paint off the body(particularly legs)? I have the sunnylife(anbee) from Amazon and it’s scraping body from the metal piece on the holder. This is very bad for resale value.

Probably the best option is something like this, www.thorsdroneworld.com/product-page/lifthor-baldur-for-dji-mavic-air-2 , it's expensive but worth it because it won't stress the antennas. The 12.9 iPad is just too large to use the antennas to mount it.

Nice stuff. Have you ever considered designing and selling terminal protectors for the air 2s charging hub and also for the charging brick terminals? Both are vulnerable to pin damage when you transport them. I’ve searched the internet for both of these and haven’t found anything.

[@dudeandhisdrones]

So I used those on my Mavic 2 Pro, someone else designed them, but I rarely find myself actually using them. I do use them with my Skydio 2, but those are a lot cooler since I was able to incorporate magnets into the design, but the MA2 and A2S don't have magnets for me to use, and I wouldn't want them to mess with the internal compass.

[@MrRaymond1021]

You hit the nail on the head with those prop holders. They will warp the props over time, and ruin them. That's the reason why I don't use them anymore. In fact, I stopped using. I got use to taking them off all together. I do like the ones you made. Thanks for the video

[@NecramoniumVideo]

I honestly remove the props for storage, because when i put them on, i can inspect them for any damages or make 100% sure they will be mounted correctly.

[@ROVIMAKER]

Doesn't these accessories change the weight and increase the risk of falling?

[@dudeandhisdrones]

After over a year of testing no issues here and none reported from thousands of customers. It will certainly add weight but the air 2S can handle a lot of extra weight

Which firehouse strobe light are you using with you leg mounts. I recommend You keep designing the strobe light holders for the firehouse strobe light, because it is the best.

I looked at Davinci Resolve and it does not work on my newly built gaming style computer (i9, 32gb, SSD) with Linux Mint. What does work, even on my older (i3, 16gb, HDD), is the free and opensource Shotcut for video and Rawtherapee for photos. For most hobbyists these two programs are plenty. Always good to have options; especially on a tighter budget.

[@dudeandhisdrones]

There's no reason a newly built gaming computer won't run Resolve, must be a deeper issue, could even be a drivers issue.

[@underthedrone2735]

@@dudeandhisdrones One would sure think so. I'm a retired IT tech (among other careers). DR does not play well with Linux. Older versions appear to work better. I have tried all the drivers available for my Nvidia 1050 GPU. Then there is the huge problem with opening simple mp4's in DR. They have to first be converted in a special format just for DR. It's just not worth the hassle at some point and I reached that point. FWIW; a lot of video editing programs don't work well with opensource OS's. I guess it's the nature of a money making business model vs a free and opensource model. I like Shotcut even though it isn't as robust as the pay editor programs. I'm not making blockbuster movies. I have considered running a dual boot system with Win10 but I'm not sure it's worth the hassle at this point when Shotcut and Rawtherapee work so well..

[@dudeandhisdrones]

Ahhh it's running Linux, I'm not a big Unix/Linux guy, I had to learn some commands back when I was in the Navy as the IT guy on the Submarine. I run DR on my Windows 10 desktop, and on my MacBook Pro, both which run it pretty well, even though my desktop is running a 4+ year old Nvidia 1070ti. I'm impressed with my MBPs ability to edit, my only gripe is wanting to add additional screens like my desktop, I'm going to be editing more on it so I can get better at editing on the road when we are traveling. I was trained on NLEs (non-linear editing programs) like Adobe Premiere and Final Cut, so going to Davinci Resolve is pretty easy for me, but they all have super steep learning curves. I don't mind paying for my software since I do make money on the channel(well not profit, but money), but I also enjoy some open source software so I can understand, but I like the software to work when I need it to!
