    ATTI mode practice

    I like the Bugs3. Trained with it & still a blast to fly, can be had for under $100. Brushless & fast, no altitude hold or GPS just a stable fun, relatively cheap Quad to learn how to fly with so you know what to do when the Mavic slips into ATTI mode.

    Losing patience with mavic

    I am in the same boat. The Mavic does not deliver the same, straight from the camera, results that my P3 Std did or even a $60 point & shoot pocket camera. It seems that there is a whole hobby built around processing the video from the Mavic to make it passable. I really just want passable...

    Whew... I got buzzed by a falcon yesterday.

    I was mistaken, early days with the Mavic, before I got the camera dialed in. Still don't like the camera on the Mavic but it looks better than this now.

    Caught a curious humming bird looking at my P3 in flight. Very cool!

    I am on the Fence

    Are you currently using the $40 Wunderphone? Mine is lost in the mail but seriously wondering if it may be better than the Galaxy S7 Edge. No real complaints with the S7, just an impulse buy for the Wunderphone & I am curious how it works with the Mavic

    $49 Huawei Ascend XT2 aka Wunderphone = THE best Mavic screen EVER

    It seems these are all out of stock. I may have ordered the last one. Kept re-trying & it finally let me buy it, but from what i can see, they are back ordered.

    Note to self - not on a windy day

    Hello from Sandy. My concern here on the windy days is also the amount of dust in the air.

    Losing patience with mavic

    Same exact experience here. Love the Mavic, not so keen on the pics/videos. I was looking at some older footage & all of a sudden it was, "wow that looks great", turns out it was my P3 Std video. I kept a note book & recorded all my settings with the date & my impression of the results. The date...

    DJI Releases “White” Mavic Pro

    The original, grey, Mavic disappears quickly in the mountains. White shows up nicely against the mountain backdrop, but the winter comes & white does a disappearing act! I like the white but skinning the original gives more options. It would be nice if the new, low noise props were available in...

    Replacing ONE Low-Noise Prop?

    Here is another mixed prop Mavic- seems like there is no problem, at least with 2 & 2.

    Another Mavic "knockoff".. this is a bit better than the $35 one. :-0

    Try this, I absolutely love it! DJI Mavic Phone Mount

    Mavic pro lost (then stolen)

    Check your credit card, if you used one to make the purchase. They sometimes have damage/loss replacement.

    Skins for Mavic.

    Wrap is awesome! What else do you have going on here. Looks like you are all set for a wet landing. How did you attach the pontoons, what is at the front of the pontoons? Might just be a shadow. More pix or a video would be great.

    Mavic Wish List.......

    1.) Acknowledge & Dismiss the beeping indicator - this should be easy & some are so desperate as to drive screws & hot needles into their controller to quiet the beep (no joke) 2.) Dismiss the Litchi, low battery RTH (#1 cause of many near crashes) I think the DJI Go app has this as an option...

    Compact ND lens filter case

    I have not bought my filters yet but I did see where someone suggested contact lens cases. I'm not sure how well it might fir but is small, durable & cheap. Just a thought.
