#MavicAir2 #FirmwareUpdate #ZoomThe new firmware and fly app updates have given some great new functions to the Mavic Air 2, including a super-smooth zoom that is better than a normal digital zoom. Improved battery indicators show precise time to RTH, critical and 0 battery and advanced gimbal controls can be adjusted to give smooth cinematic video. A new sideways flying safety feature helps keep your MA2 away from harm.
