Most new users would long press the button and expect the drone to turn ON just like any other electronic but it won’t work. The drone will just show the battery charge level. If you tried all the troubleshooting steps and are still here with your Mavic Air that won’t turn on, it’s probably time to call the professionals. The first flight I took with the Air 2, its battery lasted at least 22 minutes, based on the timestamps of my photos and videos. This flight consisted of a good deal of hovering (which drains the battery faster) as I took pictures of the drone for this review. A subsequent flight, which also involved plenty of hovering, lasted at least 25 minutes. I plan to update this section as I take the drone on more flights.

If you find any twisted terminal or misalignment, you have to fix it yourself (if you are a DIY person) or get help from a professional repair shop. Battery is not correctly inserted If it’s not your battery then it’s a problem with other parts of the drone. Our first suspect would be the power button. If you recently crashed your drone or dropped your battery accidentally, there is a good chance of physical damage to your battery.The DJI Mavic Air battery won’t work when the temperature drops below 14 °F (-10 °C). If you are flying in an area where the temperature is below freezing point, that could be the reason. While it has the same 12MP resolution as the Air, the Mavic Air 2 has a larger 1/2-inch image sensor (versus 1/2.3-inch sensor on the Air). If the battery is damaged, you should immediately dispose it of as using it is a fire/explosion hazard. Faulty power button If you are turning your drone ON for the first time after arrival, chances are that your drone batteries are in hibernation. When the aircraft is beyond 20 m away from the Home Point, press the RTH button on the remote controller or tap the RTH button in the app, the aircraft will return to home, match with the image information from takeoff, move horizontally, or yaw to change its nose direction to achieve precision landing.

The Mavic Air 2 can record video up to 4K at 60 frames per second, twice that of the Air, which maxed out at 4K/30 fps. It can also record 4X and 8X slow-motion video, as well as 1080p video at 240 fps. The Air 2 can also capture HDR video, but the max resolution for this mode is 4K/30fps. Your drone is a complex machine with a lot of electronics built into it and a software layer that coordinates everything. It is possible for it to develop bugs and software glitches at times.After uploading the code open serial monitor in Arduino IDE at a baud rate of 115200. There you see the output as below screenshot.

The aircraft takes off and flies 30 m above the ground. When the aircraft flies within 20 m from the Home Point, the senor will scan the terrain. When the current terrain matches with the Home Point's terrain, the aircraft will land. However, it is not a good idea to fly your drone in extremely low temperatures. Even if your drone takes off, it can crash midway due to low discharge from the battery. The battery is damaged All batteries have temperature limits under which they operate. If your battery is too cold, it will simply stop discharging and your drone will not turn on. Unfortunately, I get the impression they are rushing development and issues are surfacing in the consumer's hands. They've put so much resources into development that they possibly cannot afford to make these things right despite are ultimately their responsibility. As a consume I cannot afford to take on their R&D risk nor would I want to. I use this hardware to for business and I need it to be reliable not to troubleshoot or pay for what isn't caught by their engineers.

The second-generation DJI Mavic Air 2 drone offers a number of new photo and video tricks and excellent flight time.

First, clean the battery terminals with the cotton swab soaked in cleaning alcohol. Make sure to clean any and all debris, dirt any foreign objects.

You must have heard the term “ have you tried turning it off & on again” in IT industry. Well, it works and we can try the same with our drone. I left the house in June after having used the batteries and having them work just fine. I put both on the charging hub and put them into storage. To do this, just take your battery off the drone and leave it on your table overnight. The capacitors will drain and the drone will be empty of any residue charge.

Also, never insert your battery inside the drone when the battery is turned on. The battery is too cold If batteries are sent for other reasons than above then we would charge the return postage to return them to you as this service is for batteries that have gone in to hibernation mode only.
