Hi, I'm new here & the HoverAir ProMax...

in fact I am 56 years old & this is my 1st drone in my Life :D

so trying to grope my rope here ....

any place I could vent some newbie queries ? Thanks for any pointers
can I vent it here ?

Plz lemme know..Thanks
 
Hi, my first query today 🙂

There’s no sound coming in my videos. I’ve gone through YouTube and similar sources, and they say your phone needs to be open. My phone was open, but it doesn’t specify what part of the app should be open.

I think it might need to be the album section (just guessing), but that’s a big hassle because ideally I want this to be quick and hassle-free. As it is, I first have to check my phone, then make the Bluetooth connection with the phone(promax), then also connect Wi-Fi (which takes around 10–15 seconds…in a happy scenario), and *then* maybe it will record audio. That’s too much of a hassle when you want to get things done quickly.

I understand there’s a beacon option, and the beacon records sound — but is it truly hassle-free? Plus, the fact that a beacon costs about \$200 is not great. Do I still need to go through all the stages I mentioned (Bluetooth, then Wi-Fi, then the beacon comes alive)?

So, to keep it short: I just want hassle-free sound recordings. Does anyone have any pointers for this? I’m using Pro Max, of course. Thanks!

another thing I came across the ''snapshots'' scenario and I saw the results there is an automatic music played in the background and in between the recordings a snap is shown with the snap shutter click sound what is the idea because I was thinking snapshot will also take separate snaps but it's one fully running video and in moments there are some snaps taking place.
So those snaps do not come as separate photographs .... I think I have to change the recording mode to ''photo only'' and in the previous ''photo and video mode'' then I can only make use of my computer screenshots -grabs when the snap happens ..

if someone has experience with this mode and would love to hear !

so am I understanding this completely different here ? Thanks !
