Here is my first attempt to a 360 pano on my MA2.
Got woken up early to see that was supposed to be foggy. I managed to get early and got to have a little fly before my shift.
I hope you like it.

Thank you. Glad you like it.
Very nice, don’t know why but I always imagined LB to massively built up, ignorant northerner that I am.
Thank you @milkmanchris, it doesn’t have high rising buildings, but it can be a bit built up, but it has some very nice areas. I’m just on the outskirts and I love it here. I’ve been in way worst places
(To be fair, I had the same thoughts about the place until I came here)
First day for two things!!
I though it would be more difficult.
Good thing you remind me of it.
No it’s easy enough and adding to the map helps other people who are looking for places to fly. You also pick up a badge for adding 3, 10 or 25 locations
Great job @Mind_the_gap it still amazes me when I take a Pano and watch the Mavic just spin around by itself taking all the pictures. Amazing piece of kit
Thank you very much, but @SirGunner, you are spot on. “Amazing pice of kit”. No much input from me, to be honest.
I used to love the previos mavic air, this one is massively improve. Mainly the flying time. Today I did something that I would never attempt on the old one. To fly with 60% of the battery.
You stop flying at 60%??
Nooo, I meant that with my old Mavic air, if the batteries were not full, I would not be comfortable flying. For when it booted up, hooked onto the controller, got GPS signal I would start to see those precious minutes of flying time vanishing.
The MA had 20 min flight time. With 60% remaining and landing at 15%, you have 45% usable = 9 mins. There’s so much you can do in 9 minutes!
Until the props are spinning and you’re in the air, they use almost no power.
You probably are right. I guess I am Mr safe. Also, wind does take a massive part on the equation.
Today I’ve been a total rebel
The other way of looking at it, you just flew from 100% to 60% = 40% used. So if you did the same flight again you’d have 20% left.
20 minutes on paper maybe.
I have six batteries for my Mavic Air, all around the 45 flight mark and they tend to allow a comfortable 13 minutes 100% to 30% landing,
My longest flight was 17minutes and 45 seconds - 30% reached at the 13minute 14 second mark from a 99% full start. The rest of the time was spent hovering and manouvres close to home (and over land, not water) as I wanted to fully discharge the battery before recharging
So yes, theoretically around 20 minutes but practically and leaving a reserve of power in case of problems fighting a headwind or a problem at the landing site 13 minutes is reality.
The being able to repeat the previous flight and still have 20% still holds, though.
I don’t usually do “short flights”. I usually fly until I have about 30% and then start returning. I just fly for the fun of it, so I don’t usually plan what I want to take photos or record, so most of the flight time is finding what looks nice to shoot it. Then, because the controller used to lose connectivity, if I was doing a video, I would have to start again as the return home would of kick in.
