    Gimbal Roll Snapped to 45 Degrees Mid-Flight

    I was flying in moderate wind and the horizon suddenly snapped to 45 degrees. It corrected itself but the next time I launched I received a "gimbal obstructed error". At this point I no longer receive the error but something doesn't seem quite right with the gimbal. It's slower to respond and...

    Yes! When trying to manage everything else I still forget about focusing.

    First Timer, Feedback Appreciated

    I'm brand new to the hobby and hoping for feedback on overall picture quality, smooth piloting, color representation, etc. I'm taking random shots around town where I live in Montana, hoping to get it figured out before venturing into the wild for more interesting stuff! I'm using the legacy Go...

    Pre-order and Shipping Times - Who Will Get the Mavic First?

    Delivered! I'm at work for another 6 hours and we have house guests through Jan. 1st so I'll be easing into it a bit slower than I might otherwise have. Good luck and hang in there to everyone still waiting!

    They have an order tracking page you can check... https://m.dji.com/orders/tracking My blue "Shipping" dot reappeared after being awol for two days. Still shows FedEx but no tracking yet. Looks like a Christmas miracle isn't in the cards, but shouldn't be long after!

    I paid via PayPal Express which I believe requires payment to be made at the 30 day mark. I wasn't charged until 11-Dec. or thereabouts.

    Hi From France!

    France from the air is amazing - my family flew hot air balloons around Beaune when I was a kid. I miss your beautiful country!

    No doubt. I'm all over the internet chasing review videos and whatever information I can get my hands on and the level of technology they've packed into a machine of this size is pretty astonishing.

    Greetings from Montana, USA

    Hello everyone! I'm sure I'm not alone in purchasing a Mavic as my first "real" foray into the hobby. I've flown toy helicopters and a little Hubsan quadcopter with a camera (benefits of having a 12 year old son!) but nothing like a Mavic before. Glad to have a community like this to turn to as...
