    Mavic pro lost (then stolen)

    Looking through the log, I don't see that you cancelled the RTH. Were your hands off of the sticks? I'm on your side on this one. It looks like it should have kept going home.

    Hi all! My Mavic Pro had a fly-away and DJI is giving me Bull.

    To your original question: has anyone had a flyaway and successfully got a replacement drone? My Mavic went wacky over a lake and fell in, sinking to the bottom. I uploaded the flight data and submitted a claim. They determined that it was a warranty issue and they are going to send me a new...

    Mavic down in the water

    I was a few hundred feet away, but I had eyes on the drone. I saw no bird. I watched it go all the way down and hit the water. The props were fairly new. I had hit a tree branch a few months ago so I bought new ones. No crashes since I got the new props. Do props need to be replaced every so...

    Mavic down in the water

    I was flying over a reservoir taking a video, when everything just started spinning and dropping. Here's the video I have DJI Care Refresh, but I don't have high hopes that they will replace it. After reading a few threads on here I'm losing hope. Does anybody have a clue what might have...

    New pilot in San Jose CA

    Just got my Mavic this weekend and had a blast flying it. I haven't tried taking it off of beginner mode yet. I'm on the west side of San Jose near Los Gatos. Wondering if there are any clubs or groups that meet in the area.
