Last week I’ve checked out the YouTube videos on the new Master Airscrew low noise propellers for the Mavic Air. Most of them confirmed that it actually worked! I had a Friend who was in the US for a business trip, so I ordert them to arrive at his place, which actually worked! So last Monday I get two boxes with the new propellers, so I did a little comparison between the two: I would say that the new propellers…
Last weekend I was alone in Arosa, as I was renting out the flat this summer. So I showed the flat to the family who will rent the place! Sunday it was really nice weather and pretty warm for the season. As it was almost 11:30am, I decided to go snowshoe walking instead of snowboarding.

I brought along my new GoPro Hero Black 7, my Mavic Air with the iPad, and my iPhone 7. In the morning I took my GoPro with me to the slopes. Fully charged batteries. I put the GoPro in my pocket of the trousers. The first hour, worked pretty good,…
During our Christmas holidays I managed to fly my Mavic Air a few times. It was gorgeous, the sun was out, the trees covered with fresh snow. Really peaceful. So I thought I would compose a little video about these days. I’ve also found a new tool, to look into the flight data: it’s called AirData, it syncs the data from the Dji site to the AirData, and then it processes it. This is how it can look. My…
