I was hoping for several weeks of practice but only got one. I practiced only with the DJI GO app at first and played with Litchi for only about a day and a half. If it didn't film video SO much better than manually flying it with the DJI GO app I wouldn't have tried Litchi with so little...

Don't. I learned valuable lessons and it didn't cost me too much. Though was a shame I didn't get to film the tournament.

Best $99 I ever spent. They sent me option to pay $79 for a replacement bird or $700 to repair it not using DJI Refresh. I was concerned they might not like I was using Litchi but they didn't mention it.

Ordered my Mavic 10/28 and watched the threads impatiently like everyone else. Swore when I got my Mavic (Peeper I) I would practice, practice, practice in the open desert until I was reasonably competent. So I finally get my Fly More package from DJI just a week before I was wanting to take...

My Mavic arrives today. Anyone else near Surprise or Sun City Festival? Chuck

Peeper 1 arrives tomorrow. I plan to pretty much mimic MGrosvold's carefully prepared for first flight of Spook as well as being patient with the learning curve. Fortunately it's year round flying season here in AZ and I pretty much live in the middle of the desert. So not as much temptation to...

I was less concerned about whether the powers-that-be care about me flying than the Mavic itself refusing to fly :-) I live in the middle of the desert on a golf course with mountains. Plenty of open space to practice becoming a proficient pilot and lots of video/photo material. But I'm about...

Sorry fellas, I should have been more clear. I attempted to cancel my my DJI Direct order over being frustrated by the delay, they having my money, and some concern I had that I might live in a restricted fly area. I did not make any other attempt to get one. I think I'm ok as far as the...

I cancelled my Fly More order with DJI on the 28th and got confirmation of the cancellation.It gets delivered this Monday. Yes, you read that right. I'm not unhappy.

DJI Direct - Fly More Packages - Ordered 9/28 Shipped today, Fedex, scheduled delivery date to AZ is Monday 11/21. Sent from my iPad using MavicPilots

DJI Direct I assume? When did you place original order? I ordered FlyMore on 9/28 direct from DJI (already on spreadsheet). Beyond being annoyed at the delay and having my money hostage for a month, I had concerns that I lived in a restricted area and if/when I got it it would refuse to fly. So...

This just showed up in my inbox from DJI. It is first communication I've gotten from them. I ordered direct on the 28th: We said at our Mavic Pro launch event that we would begin shipping in mid-October. We’ve just passed that, and if you’re wondering where your Mavic Pro is, we’d like to...

Yep, same for mine. Just happened in last few minutes. Order Time: 2016-09-28 15:40:17 (UTC)
