I've got over 1800 miles on mine. Flown in light rain, snowfall, high desert heat, you name it. Same battery through it all all and still going good.

I have them as well :-(

If that turns out to be true it is absolutely outrageous.

My order was placed on 9/29 in Italy. I still haven't seen any change in the status.

Say you're the CEO of Mavic in France. From god knows when until a few weeks ago, any search for Mavic would yield only results related to your product. Fast forward a few weeks and 50% or less of a the first page of search results yields a Chinese drone. Would you be happy? No. Would the...

I still find the choice of name quite strange to say the least. After all, it's no different to name the new drone the DJI Shimano. Or hell, just call it DJI Ferrari since nobody will confuse the two unrelated products. Why not call it DJI falcon or something. The only reason I can see for the...

To be honest I've had that exact one from my balcony twice. Full throttle for a few seconds solved it. The descent stopped but I could go no higher. GPS lock came in fast and then all was well. You can look at it this way. A little too high for good VPS efficiency, no GPS lock, etc... Not...

No worries. Regardless, there is no huge flaw. I can replicate that same event with my phantoms, 3 and 4, exactly. From my balcony. The way I see it, these drones all have GPS limitations when under the cover of the balcony above. If one is proficient in atti mode it is a non issue.

Too many out there simply cannot fly in atti.

No issues. I've experienced the same from my balcony in my p3 and p4. You have satellites but are maybe a couple short. So you take off and get out from under cover. Usually that home point recorded within a few seconds, sometimes longer. Sometimes you get that max altitude issue. All comes with...

I have no idea how many I've had. As for DJI, I've had FC40, phantom 2, 3 and 4.I hope for good things with the Mavic.

I've now got about 600 long range flights over salt water. I can't believe this is still a subject of concern. Your chances of personal and property damage are slim to none over water. Signal strength is far greater. Noise complaints or the usual complaints folks in here often write about, are...
