    Bringing a Drone on a Royal Caribbean Cruise

    I went on an Alaskan cruise with Royal Caribbean about 3 weeks ago. I took my Mavic and extra batteries on and off the ship through security multiple times and they never said a thing. I'm not sure they even realized what it was when folded up. That said I bought a few knives in a few different...

    Mini Me, er, Mavic

    I think the 100m range was if you were using you phone instead of the controller. It didn't specify range if using the optional controller. To me the biggest issue would be the gimbal.

    New Bag, light, portable and cheap

    I ordered these exact cases off of Amazon. They took 3 weeks to reach me and when I opened the package, the cases reaked of cigarette smoke. They are still airing out in the garage 1 week after I got them and the smell is still very strong. I am wondering if anybody else got that lovely...

    Polarizers and filters

    I have used ND filters on sunny flights to help reduce the light coming into the sensor so that I can adjust the shutter speed to around 1/60 for that cinematic effect. The jittery lines you discuss are usually the result of sun hitting the propeller blades and the shadow being cast across the...

    How long normally does it take to get a tracking number from DJI after your account shows shipped?

    I waited 9 days after the order status said shipping pending and never got one. I found a Mavic on another website and then cancelled my order with DJI. I got my Mavic less than 24 hours later from the third party retailer. DJI shipping and customer service (at least for sales) is a joke...

    A little clarification on DJI order to ship times?

    Bravo! I just ordered from them as well (about 1.5 hours ago) and not only did they have the Mavic I got an extra battery. The order has already been picked up by fed-ex. Since I live in CA and this business is in CA the tracking number shows I will have it by 10:30 tomorrow morning. I'm...

    A little clarification on DJI order to ship times?

    After days and days of no status change with my order I contacted DJI chat support for the 2nd time. "Allan" asked for my order number and said i needed to be patient that orders took 5-7 days before they shipped and then 3-5 days to arrive. I explained to "Allan" that i ordered on the 15th and...

    A little clarification on DJI order to ship times?

    I ordered from DJI store on the 15th and still don't have a tracking number. It has been listed as pending for a week, and my card was charged 8 days ago. I am getting real tired of waiting when others who ordered well after me have theirs in hand. The system they use is frustrating to say the...

    A little clarification on DJI order to ship times?

    I have no idea how DJI decides who to ship to. They appear to ignore the basic business principal of first come first served. I have seen countless people receive their order before others who ordered days (or even weeks) earlier even have receive their shipping notification. I ordered mine...

    A little clarification on DJI order to ship times?

    I ordered on the 15th as well but don't have a shipping notification from DJI yet, the order status just says pending in regards to shipping, though it does say Fed Ex below that but no tracking number. Did you get the shipping notice from DJI or from Fed-Ex? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    A little clarification on DJI order to ship times?

    I'm pretty sure they say what they think the customer wants to hear, so they don't have to listen to someone really complain. I'm not even sure they actually look up the order in the computer system. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    A little clarification on DJI order to ship times?

    I ordered the 15th, I still don't say shipped but do have payment confirmed. I didn't receive an email like others did informing me it could March before it ships but if I end up waiting until March I will be rather annoyed. I will be most annoyed that I sold my P4 so I could afford to buy...

    A little clarification on DJI order to ship times?

    I just checked my order status this morning and the payment status changed to "pay confirmed" from "Payment authorized". I am hoping this means they are about to ship...?? Of course they haven't sent me any emails whatsoever since the first one. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
