The ring on the Mavic Air camera always feel crazy tight the first time it’s removed. Here are some tips that should help you easily remove it:
-
Position three fingers evenly around the outside of the ring (so you can apply even pressure) like this:
-
Grip the ring as loosely as possible. If you grip the ring with a lot of force and/or attempt to use tools to remove it, it likely won’t budge and you might damage it.
-
Hold the camera steady with your other hand.
-
Push the ring against the camera with a little bit of pressure as you turn the ring counterclockwise.
-
Wear a rubber glove if the ring slips through your fingers.
If the above tips does not work, another option is to use the included USB Type-C cable to create a makeshift wrench.
