Hi Ed, new lady dronie from SoCal. Just bought the Air last weekend and I've watched all your videos. They're awesome and so helpful, thank you! Got the platform with the intention of doing archaeological site inspections, but you've inspired me to take videos during my hikes. Keep up the good work!
Nice video and great choice of music. It set kind of a solemn mood that matched the pace. New subscriber as a result of your review of the Epson Moverio BT-300FPV. Thanks.
Hey Ed - Welcome to the area! I live just N of Charlotte and have had my MAV-PRO for about a month now. Have learned a lot from your videos and really appreciate them. If that was Lake Norman, you must have leapt back in time, because I don't know of nearly any areas that un-poplulated and undeveloped and nice anymore(?) Perhaps you were in the Lake Wylie area? Thanks again. Oh, and if you'd ever like to teach any classes in this area, let us know!
Awesome video ed. Been following your channel for a while now. I love your content and i hope your channel grows and gets the attention it deserves. Mavic air truly is an amazing piece of tech. One question though, have you ever had any issues running the dji go 4 app on android phones? The harrowing stories and ratings on google play store scare the crap out of me. Love from India.
I can honestly say I had a horrible experience using an android to fly with. I have a video on my profile of my first time flying and was using a galaxy s7 edge at the time. I lost video feed several times and flew blind while over water. Had to kill and restart the app several times. Also, phone would get really hot and due to the nature of android phones, they will use the drone controller like a battery bank and charge itself. This will end up killing the remote battery very quickly. I went out right away and bought an iPad mini 4 and its the best in my opinion. Larger screen lets you see things better and adjust settings and I have never had an issue using iOS so far.
I have a problem with my mavic air. Please help. When I shoot in 4K with 30fps when I import the videos all the footage is in slow motion. How can I get normal footage in 4K. I am so excited but now frustrated as I tried everything but all my footage is in slow motion. Please help. Please advise how to adjust settings to shoot in 4K in normal mode.
Ed, in 4k with -1 sharpness on the Mavic Pro my trees look like somebody painted them with watercolors. Is the Mavic Air that much better or is this some sort of voodoo that you doo?
Haha no voodoo, it seems it handles -1 sharpness better than the Pro. I still find myself using -1 with the Pro as well though, since 0 introduces a lot of grain in the image sometimes.
Suh Rosen agreed. Ed if you’re seeing this, please know that a lot of us want some more short arial movies like these but with the Mavic Pro. Some of us want to compare, others just prefer the Mavic Pro.
John Hackney thanks! Yes, no color grading or other colorization. I did add a little brightness to a couple clips because I underexposed them but that’s it.
Yup on occasion! Check out these videos of done around there. Wilmington Coast: ua-cam.com/video/TSywKcqjfdY/v-deo.html Wrightsville Beach: ua-cam.com/video/LRjeTdWsA_k/v-deo.html Carolina Beach: ua-cam.com/video/o6DEoWGEQLY/v-deo.html Enjoy!
Well the bitrate is double I believe, so it should have better quality. Which is great and it sucks. It sucks because I have had my mavic pro for not a really long time, and I cannot justify getting the air now, my marriage would suffer if I did :P
Totally Beautiful and GREAT video Ed! I have a question, where do you get all the great audio tracks for your videos? I tried contacting Harrison Forest on Reverbnation regarding his songs after watching your California Trip, "As She Sleep"; absolutely fabulous music along with his other songs on Reverbnation. BTW, was this the reservoir that you shot for inspection for the City a while back? Thanks in advance for any help that you can provide, Steve
Hi Steve, I asked Harrison and he doesn't recall getting a message from you. Did you send it recently? If not, I can private message you his email. I use EpidemicSound.com for most of my music. Royalty-free, and the subscription is $15/mo. Nope, this is a whole different location. This is is Mecklenburg county. The drained reservoir was in Robeson County. Thanks for watching!
Thank you Ed for all the info! Yes, if you could private message me with his email, really like his music and can't find it anywhere online other than Reverbnation. Again, my thanks!
Very nice. I wonder if you have noticed the same thing about the Mavic Air that i have. Namely , that not once have i seen the props in any of my videos, not even in sport mode. Not once either have i ever seen prop sun shadows either. What is this new and wonderful stuff? My Phantom 4 has to be treated carefully to avoid this in the shots.
Hi James, I think part of it is that it the gimbal doesn't pitch up so much as the Phantom and Mavic Pro. In sport mode, the Air tilts forward but the gimbal actually tilts down a bit since it doesn't pitch up that high. The other drones tilts forward but their gimbals completely compensate so you'll see the props. You also have to remember that the Air props are much smaller than the other 2 drones.
Nice work! There are truly some really nice shots in there. I love the quality of the mavic air. I just posted a video regarding my thoughts about the mavic air for the adventure filmmaker. If anyones interested I'd appreciate some feedback! Your work is inspiring man, Cheers!
Great video Ed. You have an amazing eye for your clips and I learn a lot from you. Thanks for sharing your gift.

Looks like a great day for flying.
Excellent work Ed!
Looks awesome. The picture quality looks great and the skyline was beautiful. Nicely done.

Nice video Amigo!
Nice I’d like to see more Mavic pro

Nice!
Ths Ed, nice, beatifull !!! Hello from Ukraine!
That looks pretty good to me. Is that the original unaltered footage?
John Hackney thanks! Yes, no color grading or other colorization. I did add a little brightness to a couple clips because I underexposed them but that’s it.
What is the song for this?
So Charlotte doesn't have a no fly zone?
It does, that was as close to Uptown as I could have gotten unfortunately. The airport is on the other side of the city.
Ed Ricker OK just curious I have a mavic pro platinum...I did a video of the city of Charleston west Virginia that's where I'm from
So, we have permission to fly within Latta Plantation?
Never saw any info telling me not to either on their website or at the location. It's not a state or national park.
That's awesome! Btw, great video as always!
Thanks!
Awesome stuff. Personally I’ve had both Pro and Air and believe the Air has much better video quality.
I'm beginning to think so too!
Ed Ricker Ever come to Wilmington? I live there and do photo/video work as well.
Yup on occasion! Check out these videos of done around there.
Wilmington Coast: ua-cam.com/video/TSywKcqjfdY/v-deo.html
Wrightsville Beach: ua-cam.com/video/LRjeTdWsA_k/v-deo.html

That air definitely has better video quality and I have the mavic.

I watch everything in 720....
