Mavic Air: Second flight test

This was my second flight using the Mavic Air. I got a little bit better with the manual camera settings this time around. I cannot wait to take this drone with me the next time I travel. This is the best tech/camera purchase I have made in years.

In my defense, I wanted to get the drone in the sky and burn through at least a battery or two before the field got crowded. Next time I am going to drive to a better location and use my new Polar Pro filters as well.
